Booking appointments
اپائنٹمنٹ
How do I book a heart specialist?
Search by city and specialty on our Find a Doctor page, choose video or in-clinic, pick a time and confirm. Most bookings take under 5 minutes. You can also call 0334-0033006 and our team will book for you.
Can I book for my parents or another family member?
Yes. Many of our patients are children booking for elderly parents — including overseas Pakistanis. Simply enter the patient's name and age when booking; you can manage all family bookings from one account.
Are all doctors verified?
Every doctor is checked against PMDC records before being listed, and their registration number is shown on their profile. Hospitals and labs are checked against their healthcare-commission licence.
When is my appointment confirmed?
Online consultations are confirmed as soon as payment succeeds. In-clinic slots are confirmed once the doctor approves them. You'll receive confirmation by SMS, email and WhatsApp.
Can I reschedule?
Yes — up to 6 hours before your appointment, subject to the doctor's availability. See our rescheduling policy.
Payments & refunds
ادائیگی اور ریفنڈ
Which payment methods do you accept?
JazzCash, Easypaisa, debit and credit cards, and bank transfer. For in-clinic appointments you can usually pay at the clinic.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancel up to 12 hours before for a full refund or credit; between 12 and 2 hours before for a 50% refund or credit. Cancellations under 2 hours or no-shows are not refunded. If the doctor cancels, you get a 100% refund or free rescheduling.
How long do refunds take?
Refunds are processed within 5–7 business days to the same payment method. Bank or service charges, if any, are non-refundable. Read the full refund policy.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. Payments are processed by licensed payment partners over SSL encryption. We never store your full card details.
Video consultations
ویڈیو مشورہ
Do I need to download an app?
No. Video consultations work in your phone's browser — just tap the link we send you by SMS or WhatsApp a few minutes before your appointment.
What if my internet is slow?
Our video is designed to work on 3G connections. If the call drops, the doctor can continue by audio call so your consultation is not lost.
Will I get a prescription?
Yes. Your doctor's e-prescription and notes are sent to your WhatsApp and saved in your patient dashboard.
Can I share my old reports?
Yes — upload ECGs, echo reports, angiography CDs (as images or PDF) and lab results before the call so the doctor can review them in advance.
Home services & tests
گھر پر سروسز
Which cities offer home services?

Who comes to my home?
Trained, background-checked technicians, phlebotomists and nurses from our partner labs and care providers. They carry an ID card and you'll receive their name before the visit.
How quickly will I get my report?
ECG reports are usually ready within a few hours and are reviewed by a cardiologist. Most lab results arrive within 24 hours.
