For a denizen of the city to find a doctor he/she can trust, need not be something to fret about any longer.
 
If you want to consult a doctor online for a simple ailment, then again you can chat with a doctor and get the right guidance where to go and what to do, Healthcare Magic, a portal for medical consultation and referral with a call centre, will facilitate it.
 
Healthcare Magic, said to be the first real-time consultation portal in the country, aims to bring the healthcare service provider and customer together on a web and mobile-based platform. Healthcare Magic has a panel of doctors who will provide consultation online, on live chat.
 
The doctors will provide consultation to the patients and then guide them to find the specialist/hospitals near the patient's locality if a physical examination or diagnostic test is required. Healthcare Magic also helps one compare doctors and/or hospitals and their prices.
 
"The portal will help one secure appointments with a hospital or a doctor," said Kunal Sinha, CEO, Healthcare Magic.
 
In future, the portal will include medical tourism, online health insurance, online pharmacy, electronic health records among other services.
