Question 1

How do I choose the right doctor or specialist in India?

Accepted Answer

Selecting the right specialist in India begins with evaluating case experience, surgical volume, and super-specialty fellowships from institutions in the US, UK, or Europe. Marlin Medical Assistance reviews your diagnostic reports with two to three leading department heads at JCI-accredited hospitals to recommend the most qualified doctor for your specific condition.

Question 2

Can I receive a written second opinion from an Indian doctor before traveling?

Accepted Answer

International patients can obtain detailed second opinions without leaving home. Send your medical records, pathology reports, and radiology scans to Marlin. We coordinate directly with top department heads to deliver a written review, suggested surgical approach, length of stay, and an itemized cost estimate within 1–2 business days.

Question 3

What qualifications do senior surgeons in India hold?

Accepted Answer

Surgeons at India's premier hospital networks typically hold advanced degrees (such as MS, MCh, DNB) alongside international memberships and fellowships from the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS), American College of Surgeons (FACS), and European medical boards. Many have practiced extensively in renowned overseas institutions before returning to lead Indian surgical units.

Question 4

Can I schedule a video telemedicine consultation with my chosen doctor?

Accepted Answer

Prior to making travel arrangements, Marlin can arrange a private teleconsultation between you, your family, and the attending Indian doctor. This allows you to ask questions directly about surgical risks, expected outcomes, and post-operative recovery timelines.
