Practo - Consult Doctor Online 4+

I am based in United States and I often travel to Bangalore, India for my company's official trips. I was always skeptical about consulting a doctor in India until I met Dr Roma Haider. My co worker recommended her to me and boy I am so glad that she did. Dr Roma is an outstanding professional with tons of experience under her belt. She was so gentle yet effective with handling all my major dental issues . Her dental clinic and equipment is top of the line - much better that what I see in the US. And what makes this clinic stand out even more from the rest is of course the Doctor herself. I was so impressed with Dr Roma's skills and knowledge. She treats her patients like family and follows all necessary protocols and procedures. I am her fan for life and I will always make sure that I go to her for my dental check ups every time I travel to Bangalore. Highly recommended!

Here is a completely honest review. This app has TRULY HELPED ME. You can speak to doctors online as advertised. Usually within 2 minutes of searching. Sometimes the doctors don’t reply right away, but about 70% of the time they do. I understand they are actual doctors and they are only from India, time zones are different and they must have a busy schedule themselves. However, these doctors do try to help you. If you have a question about anything that’s wrong with you, they will ask you questions and try to figure out the problem. They can send you prescriptions, which I don’t usually go with, I would stick with your actual doctor for that. They can give you recommendations of what you should do, whether it means taking rest, or seeing a physician in person to take a certain type of test to see what results show. The Practo doctor will be interested to see the results to understand what is going on, so they can further help you and give you a second opinion. All in all, this app helped me in terrible times. I would love too see it increase in doctors, especially from other countries such as the U.S! The concept is great and I am truly grateful for what it has done for me. If you need a doctor to talk to, I certainly recommend giving this app a try.

Practo is a great product - to get immediate consultation from experts while sitting at home. Though it will never be able to replace actual Doctor clinic visits, you’ll get second opinions quickly.

However they’ve created so much nuisance in the name of technology automation and scaling, In less than 24 hours, I’ve received 10+ SMS, at least 20+ Notifications, at least 7 automated calls.

Looks they’ve given the guns to monkeys who don’t know how to handle it.

Practo leaders: please look in to it and stop harassing your paying customers.

Limit all SMS / Notifications / Calls to no more than 1-2 per day.

Also, Practo’s Shopping cart functionality is so flawed. You can not combine more than one prescription in one order. Every time you click back, your cart is empty again.

Practo leaders: Please order some medications yourself from multiple consultations and see for yourself how poorly designed it is.

Doctor allocation is random, they will select the doctor that is allocated to you and you have no way to ensure you get a great doctor.

They should at least allow us to shortlist 2 doctors from which they can give one to us. For one of the consultation that completed in 3 minutes, the specialist asked me to go see a specialist in my city and do an in person visit, she is right. But she is from another city, so now I need to pay to another doctor for in person visit - this is duplication of cost for me.
