Disclaimer

1. Not Medical Advice

The content published on this website — including text, images, blog articles, condition descriptions, procedure information, and any other material — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations.

The information on this website is written to help patients understand spine and orthopedic conditions in general terms. It is not tailored to any individual's specific medical history, symptoms, imaging findings, or clinical circumstances. What is appropriate for one patient may be entirely inappropriate for another.

Do not make any medical decisions — including decisions to seek or delay medical care, to start or stop any treatment, or to undergo any procedure — based solely on information found on this website. Always consult a qualified medical professional before making any healthcare decision.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Visiting this website, reading its content, completing the consultation request form, or communicating via email or WhatsApp through this website does not establish a doctor-patient relationship between you and Dr. Shrinath Viswanath.

A doctor-patient relationship is only established following an in-person clinical consultation, a clinical examination, and the explicit mutual agreement to enter into a professional care relationship. Until that relationship is established, no duty of care exists.

Information submitted through the consultation request form is used solely to facilitate the scheduling of an appointment and does not constitute medical advice or clinical assessment.

3. Accuracy of Information

We make every reasonable effort to ensure that the information published on this website is accurate, current, and consistent with established medical knowledge at the time of publication. However, medicine is a rapidly evolving field, and no warranty is made — express or implied — as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of any information on this website.

Medical guidelines, treatment protocols, and clinical recommendations change over time. Information on this website may not reflect the most recent developments in spine surgery, orthopedics, or related fields. We recommend consulting a qualified healthcare professional for the most current guidance relevant to your situation.

4. Individual Results

Outcomes described on this website — including surgical outcomes, recovery timelines, and patient stories — are presented as general information and individual examples. They do not represent a guarantee or prediction of results for any specific patient.

Every patient is different. Outcomes of spine surgery and orthopedic treatment depend on many individual factors including the specific condition, its severity, the patient's overall health, adherence to post-operative instructions, and many other variables. Results will vary.

The fact that a treatment has been effective for one patient does not mean it will be effective — or even appropriate — for another.

5. Testimonials

Patient testimonials published on this website represent the individual experiences of those patients and are not intended to represent typical results. They are provided in good faith as illustrative examples. They do not constitute a guarantee that any other patient will experience similar outcomes.

Testimonials are published with the knowledge and consent of the patients concerned. Names and identifying details may be changed to protect patient privacy where consent for full identification has not been provided.

6. Emergency Situations

This website is not designed for use in emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency — including but not limited to: sudden severe back or neck pain, progressive neurological weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or any other urgent or life-threatening symptom — do not use this website to seek help.

Call emergency services immediately (India: 112) or proceed to the nearest hospital emergency department.

7. External Links

This website may contain links to external websites operated by third parties, including hospital websites, WhatsApp, and other resources. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not control the content of external websites and are not responsible for their accuracy, privacy practices, or any other aspect of their operation.

The inclusion of a link to an external website does not constitute endorsement of that website or its content.
