This is the primary service that we deliver, and it covers the entire gamut from the diagnosis of ailments to the treatment and then rehabilitation. We ensure that every aspect of our health care service is available to all patients conveniently and economically. When the patients first come to Alloveda, we try to have them examined under general medicine, unless they have come in with a very specific complaint. This allows the examining doctor to have an overall view of the general health condition of the patient. Once the patients have been examined under general medicine, they may or may not be referred to specialist departments.
This is one of the most important and well-staffed departments at Alloveda. We are equipped to help children with their physical, behavioral, and mental health issues. The pediatric department at Alloveda looks at children who are in their infancy right up to the teenage and adolescent years. Our facilities include physical tests, vaccinations, diagnosis, nutrition advice, fitness tips, growth, and development, apart from mental and psychological issues. A lot of our patients for this department are outpatients who depend on our experienced doctors for regular checkups on a routine basis instead of visiting for specific ailments.
Our ophthalmology department consists of highly qualified and very experienced opticians, optometrists and opthalmologists. They are able to use their expertise to take care of the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the eyes of our patients. We are equipped to diagnose and treat specific disorders of the eye, and can also diagnose systemic diseases that are more entrenched, like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, etc. Some other specialized areas where we have expertise are refraction, orthoptics, binocular vision, and strabismus, to name a few.
We have a very advanced otolaryngological department, commonly known as ENT (ear, nose, and throat) department.

For all benign and malignant disorders of the skin, our Dermatology department is very well equipped to provide diagnosis and treatment. This department also looks into related complications of hair, nails, and mucous membranes. This is a unique department because the diagnosis and treatment of patients of this department are usually closely related to one or more of the other departments at Alloveda. Some of the complications we treat are skin cancers, melanomas, moles, skin tumors, inflammation etc. We help patients get a sense of the disease and possible treatment after skin biopsies. There are a number of dermatopathologists and pediatric dermatologists in our team.
Our cardiology department is one of our most advanced and also the one that attracts the most number of patients. Starting from very basic symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pains, dizziness etc. and going up to very complicated symptoms which could become life threatening, we are well equipped to deal with all situations. Apart from timely and accurate diagnosis with the help of relevant tests, we are also fully equipped for procedures like cardiac catherization, balloon angioplasty, bypass surgery etc., just to name a few.
In our body, the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves and skin together make up what is referred to as the musculoskeletal system, and all complications in this system are taken care of by our Orthopedic department.

Just like a mechanic looks after a car and keeps it purring smoothly, a physiotherapist also performs a similar role for the human body. All the members in this department have a thorough understanding and specialized training about the inner workings of the human body. They have in-depth knowledge about our anatomy, neuroanatomy, physiology, musculoskeletal conditions, electrotherapy and the dynamics of the body’s physical movements. We have a battery of well-trained physiotherapists that can work with you to rid your body of muscular and skeletal pains in different parts of the body.
