01Abhi's story

Why I built this.

I was lucky enough to be born in India.
My friends were not so lucky.

I did not build this because someone in my family could not afford care. I built this because I have travelled, I have lived, and I have listened to my friends in the United States, in Europe, in Australia — and the stories they tell are things I could not have imagined growing up.

A friend in the US, denied dental coverage because a missing tooth is not life-threatening. Another friend, told to wait two months for a fractured finger. The appointment is free — but can a person really afford to wait two months with a broken bone? Is free actually free if it costs you two months of your life?

A procedure does not need to be life-threatening to be life-changing.

A beautiful smile gives confidence back. Two working knees give a person their independence back. These are not vanity. These are not luxuries. The version of you that feels whole is worth fighting for. And the system in many countries has quietly decided these things can wait — or simply cost whatever it costs, whether you can afford it or not.

I grew up in a country with world-class surgeons who charge a fraction of what patients pay in the West. I know these doctors. I know their secretaries. I know the hospitals. What I had, my friends did not. That is the only reason I am doing this.

The four doctors on this site are the four I would send my own family to — because I already have. The team behind me I trained myself, on the same standard I learned looking after the people I love most.

— Abhi Malik Founder, DocInIndia

Besides — you are probably already being treated by an Indian doctor in the US, in Europe, in Australia. So why not come to India, get the treatment done, and see its beauty while you are here. 😊

02The thing everyone asks first

Yes, we know what you've heard about India.

You've heard about the food. The water. The hygiene. You're not wrong to think about it — and we're not going to brush it off with a line about world-class standards.

Here is exactly what we do.

Water. Every bottle you drink is sealed. It is in your room before you arrive, in the car that picks you up from the airport, in the bag we hand you at arrivals. You will not be handed a glass of tap water.

Food. The meals we bring you during recovery are home cooked. Dal, rice, soft roti, vegetables — nothing too spicy, nothing that will upset a stomach that has been through surgery. Not restaurant food. Not hotel food. Food made for your recovery, by someone who is thinking about you specifically.

Accommodation. Every place we put a patient in has been physically inspected by someone on the team before you arrive. Clean linen. Hot water. Working AC. A door that locks. Nothing we wouldn't stay in ourselves.

The hospitals. Dr. Rathi operates at Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute in Delhi. These are modern private hospitals — sterile surgical environments, infection control protocols. Hospitals we trust our family with.

If you do get sick — which has not happened yet — we have a doctor on call who will see you the same day.

Rebeka. 21. Hungarian, living in Spain. Thirteen crowns and two root canals.

Her dentist in Spain quoted her €18,000. Unaffordable in Hungary. Unaffordable in Spain.

She found DocInIndia. She flew to Delhi alone. Here's what happened:

  • May 15 — Arrived in India.
  • May 16 — Six-hour sitting: two root canals, teeth ground for crown fitting, 3D scan of her teeth. Lab worked day and night to create her crowns.
  • May 17 — Rested.
  • May 18 morning — Thirteen new crowns fitted.
  • May 18 night — Flew home.

Dr. Jaglan in Narnaund did thirteen crowns and two root canals for $1,200.

She chose Option A — paid us $4,000. $2,000 was our fee. $2,000 covered her round-trip flights from Spain (~$1,000), her accommodation and food in Delhi ($250), and every car ride for four days. Her treatment was $1,200 on top of that, paid at the exact rate the clinic charged.

  • Treatment (13 zirconia crowns + 2 root canals) $1,200
  • Flights (Spain → Delhi round trip) ~$1,000
  • Accommodation + food $250
  • Our fee $2,000
  • Her total spend ~$4,450
  • Same work in Spain €18,000

She is now our European contact. If you are writing from anywhere in Europe, you can speak to Rebeka before you book anything. She will tell you exactly what it was like — the flight, the hotel, the food, the surgery, the recovery — because she has done it, recently, at 21, in a country she had never been to before.

Vikram Singh Malik. Founder's father. Knee replacement.

My father needed both knees replaced. After Dr. Rathi's consultation we settled on one knee first — which turned out to be exactly the right call.

After the operation we found his bones were weaker than expected, so recovery took longer than average. Dr. Rathi followed up on WhatsApp every week — asked me to send videos of his exercises and walking, and consulted on every medication, whether it was for pain management or an allergy from a side effect from the medicine to make his bone density stronger.

He walks well now — no pain, no allergies, no stick/support needed anymore.

This is our founder's father.

04How it works

One person with you the whole time.

When you land, someone is at arrivals with your name on a card. That person speaks English, has been briefed on your procedure, and stays with you for the entire trip — every appointment, every meal, every question. They are your attendant, your driver, and your first call when anything comes up.

Pricing

One fee to us. The rest goes to the hospital.

You pay us in your local currency. We pay the hospital in rupees — no exchange headaches, no hidden markups.

Option A · $4,000 We handle everything

$2,000 is our flat fee. $2,000 covers your flights, accommodation, food and transport. We book everything — you just pack. If costs come in under or over $2,000, the difference is adjusted when you settle your final hospital bill. One prepayment, no surprises.

Option B · $2,000 You book your own flights

Pay our $2,000 flat fee upfront. Book your own flights. We are still at the airport waiting for you when you land. Accommodation, food and transport are paid as you go once you arrive in India — no advance needed for those. Same attendant, same service, same care.

Most people who contact us have already heard about us from someone they trust. This is how we work — and why it works.

06Travel

Beautiful chaos. Let yourself immerse in it.

Most people who come for two weeks leave wishing they had stayed a little longer.

Travel before your procedure if you want to see and walk and explore while you are at full strength. Travel after if your recovery allows a few quiet days before you fly home. We arrange it either way.

Thinking of seeing India before your procedure while you are still at full strength? We arrange that too.

Always quoted separately. Always your choice. Just ask.

07FAQ

Honest answers to the questions you're already asking.

Is it safe to have surgery in India?

The hospitals we work with are modern private hospitals — Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute in Delhi. Sterile surgical environments, the same implant brands used in the US and UK — Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, Nobel Biocare. The difference is cost, not standard.

What if something goes wrong while I'm there?

Your attendant is reachable every hour of every day for your entire stay. The hospitals have aftercare protocols. If you need a doctor outside hospital hours, we call one. You are not alone for a single day.

You are new. Why should I trust you?

DocInIndia launched in 2026. We have handled one international patient — Rebeka, 21, Hungarian, living in Spain. The doctors are not new. Dr. Rathi has been replacing knees in Delhi for twenty years. Dr. Jaglan has been practising in Narnaund for sixteen years. You are new to them. They are not new to the work. And if you want to speak to Rebeka before you decide, just ask. She will tell you exactly what it was like.

What exactly does DocInIndia do?

We handle everything that is not the surgery. Flights, accommodation, airport pickup, an English-speaking attendant with you for the duration of your medical stay, hospital transport, home cooked meals during recovery, daily check-ins, and your drop to the airport at the end. Your doctor does the medicine. We do everything else.

How did you choose the doctors?

Abhi or his immediate family has been a patient of every doctor on the list. Vikram Singh Malik, 62, had his knee replaced by Dr. Rathi. Dr. Jaglan has treated Abhi and Shveta. The exact relationship is on each doctor's profile.

What do I pay and when?

Two options. Option A: $4,000 upfront — $2,000 is our fee, $2,000 covers your flights, accommodation, food and transport. We book everything. If costs come in under or over, the difference is adjusted with your final hospital bill. Option B: $2,000 upfront — just our fee. You book your own flights. We still meet you at the airport. Accommodation, food and transport are paid as you go once you arrive in India. Your medical bill is separate either way — we pay the hospital in rupees and charge you the exact equivalent in your currency with the invoice shown.

What currencies do you accept?

USD, EUR, AUD, CAD, GBP. You don't need to deal with rupees if you don't want to. If you'd prefer to pay differently, we'll work with you.

Will I have to figure out rupees or Indian bank transfers?

No. You pay us in your currency. We handle everything in India. Your hospital invoice is shown to you exactly as issued — we convert at the real rate and pay the hospital directly. You see every number.

Will Abhi personally meet me at the airport?

No. The attendant who meets you and stays with you is part of the team Abhi trained. If you want to speak to Abhi before you fly, he does video calls. Just ask.

What about food and water?

Sealed bottled water everywhere — your room, your car, the hospital, the bag we hand you at arrivals. Every meal during recovery is home cooked, not too spicy, made for a stomach that has been through a procedure. If you do get sick despite all of this, we have a doctor who will see you the same day.

Do I need a medical visa?

Yes. India's e-Medical Visa is straightforward and done online. We walk you through it.

How much will I realistically save?

After flights, hotel, our fee, and the medical bill, most patients save between $12,000 and $40,000 depending on the procedure. Rebeka saved more than $12,000 on dental work alone. You will see every number before you commit to anything.

What if my surgery isn't on your list?

We help with any surgery, not just the five listed on this site. If you need a procedure that isn't listed here, tell us what it is and we will find the best doctor for it in India — personally vetted, the same way we chose every doctor on this page. The service is exactly the same: airport pickup, accommodation, attendant, transport, everything.

Can I combine my procedure with travel?

Yes, if your doctor signs off. We arrange it separately and quote it line by line. You always know what is medicine and what is hospitality.

How do I start?

Email support@docinindia.com or WhatsApp us. Someone replies the same day — usually within a few hours.

08Talk to us

Tell us what you've been quoted. We'll tell you what it costs here.
