Dislcaimer

The focus of asecondopinion.in is to provide expert medical advice and counselling to patients through video consultations. However, video consultations are effective only to a certain extent and can never substitute in-person consultations with a physical examination of the patient. Video consultations with physicians at asecondopinion.in do not cover emergency medical services for which the patient is advised to go to a hospital.
