Malhotra - Policy on Treating
Out of Town Patients
If there is a good experienced classical homeopath in your area we suggest you see them. If that is not possible you can travel to
see a good experienced classical
homeopath for the first appointment and do the follow-ups by phone. We do this very often with patients driving
in from all over the country to our Clinic
in Ludhiana.
If neither of the above
options are possible then we can treat you by phone. We prefer in person
appointments as we learn a lot about you by observing you. Phone appointments lose this very important channel
of information. Despite that we are able to help people by phone- we just have
a slightly lower rate of finding the right homeopathic remedy on the first try.
One way to improve the accuracy of phone appointments is using a Webcam and we
can have our appointment using a internet connection. The webcam would only
work if you have a fast internet connection (not dial-up, It requires a DSL or
cable connection). This way we can both see as well as hear during the
appointment.
If you want to see us by phone - call us at 0161-2741304, 9872215313. We will ask you questions to
determine whether we want to take you on as a client. These questions will
concern what the problems are, what medications you are on, what problems
including surgeries you had in the past and whether you have ever been treated
by a homeopath and whether you are currently being treated by an acupuncturist,
naturopath..
After this screening we will make an appointment for you and mail you forms to
fill out and return to us before the appointment. We
also will want you to send a picture of yourself. Also videos ( DVD) can be very useful- showing any visible physical
pathology or behavior.
They are especially useful for children
showing behaviors, personality or quirks. We will take a credit card number
from you to charge appointment charges. If you do not have a credit card all charges must be prepaid.
Then at the time of the appointment we will call you and have
you call us back right away and talk on the phone to discuss all the details of
your problems. The initial appointment is usually two hours long (sometimes
longer). We will then research and choose what we think is the correct
homeopathic remedy for you. The cost for
this initial appointment and the research time is Rs 400.
Approximately with in 1-2 weeks (sometimes longer) we will
call you to say we have chosen a remedy and will mail the remedy to you. We
will set up an appointment of 30 minutes for after you have received the
remedy. At this appointment we will answer any questions you have about
homeopathy, discuss things you need to avoid while under homeopathic treatment
and explain how to take the remedy and what to observe afterwards. The cost of he remedy is between
Rs.100-200 per week (it can be more) according to the medicine required. The couriour charges are Rs.30 (with in punjab), Rs.50 (outside
punjab).
For Clients Outside the India:
The procedures are as above except we will charge for the extra costs of
telephone calls and of shipping remedies to you. Or you can get remedies
locally, if available. The screening appointment can be done by e-mail- send us
an e-mail saying you want to be treated and we will send you questions by
return e-mail.
