What is a diabetic foot teleconsultation?

A teleconsultation is an online consultation, by video and wound photos, that lets you get expert review, a second opinion and follow-up without travelling. At EDFC these are provided by Dr. Ashutosh Shah from anywhere in India.

How do I share my wound for a teleconsultation?

You can send clear photos of your foot and wound, often via WhatsApp, before or during a video call. Good lighting and close-up images help the specialist assess the wound accurately.

Can a teleconsultation replace a clinic visit?

For review, guidance, follow-up and second opinions, teleconsultation works very well. However, some problems need hands-on examination, tests or treatment, in which case you will be advised to attend in person.

Is teleconsultation useful for follow-up after surgery?

Yes. Teleconsultation is convenient for checking healing and answering questions after surgery or between clinic visits, reducing unnecessary travel while keeping your care on track.

When should I not rely on teleconsultation?

You should seek urgent in-person care, not just a teleconsultation, if you have spreading redness, pus, a bad smell, sudden colour change or fever, as these can be limb-threatening emergencies.

How much does a teleconsultation cost in India?

Teleconsultation fees are shared before you book. EDFC explains all charges upfront, with no surprises. Contact the clinic to arrange a session and confirm the fee.

Teleconsultation

Online consultations and wound-photo reviews with the specialist, wherever you are, in India.

Diabetic foot teleconsultation in India lets you consult the specialist online, by video call and by sharing photos of your wound, so you can get expert review, a second opinion, follow-up and guidance without travelling, wherever you are in the country.

Why Teleconsultation Helps

Many people with a diabetic foot problem live far from a specialist or find frequent travel difficult. A teleconsultation brings expert eyes to your wound quickly, helping decide whether it can be managed at home, needs a clinic visit, or is urgent, saving valuable time.

What a Teleconsultation Covers

Review of clear photos of your wound or foot problem.
A video discussion of your history, symptoms and concerns.
Advice on dressings, offloading and when to seek in-person care.
A second opinion on a diagnosis or planned treatment.
Convenient follow-up between clinic visits or after surgery.

Who Should Use Teleconsultation

People living far from a diabetic foot specialist.
Patients who want a quick opinion on a new or changing wound.

Important Note

Teleconsultation is excellent for review, guidance and follow-up, but some problems need hands-on examination, tests or treatment. Where that is the case, you will be advised to attend in person, and urgent problems should always be seen without delay.
