It was on a patient’s suggestion and insistence that Dr GK Bedi and Dr RS Bedi developed their website ivfbedi.com way back in 2000. A patient from abroad received a successful infertility treatment at their clinic and was blessed with twins and it all began on a positive note, recalls Dr Bedi. “She told us that the treatment here was so affordable and effective and people were desperate for this treatment and needed to know about it and a website was the most effective way to reach out to the far corners,’’ Dr Bedi says the website was a hit from the word go, as they received queries and hopeful patients from places like Sweden, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Iraq, Australia, Kenya!

From a basic launch to an active website, which answers all queries of patients, the website is attached to institutes abroad. “Procedure of treatment, duration, patient profile, cost, stay arrangement, it’s all here, put simply and clearly,’’ assures Dr Bedi.

In today’s time and age, when people are discerning, well-read and travelled, have access to information and knowledge, health websites are the need of the hour and the best and most cost-effective way to talk about the USP of a doctor, believes DR KM Kapoor, a leading plastic and cosmetic surgeon. His website, indiaplasticsurgery.com is among the leading websites of the country and the doc’s been included in the Google directory too. The tremendous scope for medical tourism in the field of plastic surgery prompted Dr Kapoor to design the website. “It was tough to access foreign clients and via indiaplasticsurgery.com in the last three years I have been able to treat a number of NRIs and patients from abroad,’’ Dr Kapoor says the website offers complete details of surgery, the affordable facilities as compared to abroad and also an elaborate photo gallery which displays pre-operative and post-operative pictures. “It’s simple and the first page itself gives patients an access to my direct number and mail.’’

Dr Nirja Chawla simply loves the process and chance of learning new technology when she uploads, downloads and edits her website nirjachawla.com. The wonderful colours and aesthetic design of the website make the well-known gynaecologist proud. “As for the patient, the website, which is linked with endoscopy.co.in, in clear and coherent words, gives people the information that they need, clears many misconceptions regarding endoscopy and other procedures, includes media reports, patient-friendly articles and also some technical matter,’’ the doc feels more and more people and docs need to be Net savvy to make the best of technology.
