Dr. Nidhi Kataria

What happens in your first homeopathic consultation?

Short answer

Expect a detailed, unhurried conversation of about 30 minutes. Dr. Nidhi takes your full case: the main complaint and its history, but also your sleep, digestion, stress, cravings, past illnesses and what makes things better or worse. You leave with a personalised plan, a realistic timeline, and clarity on what to track before the first follow-up.

Why so many questions about things that seem unrelated

First-time patients are often surprised to be asked about sleep, weather preferences, or how they respond to stress when they came for, say, hair fall. In homeopathy the medicine is matched to the person's whole pattern, not just the diagnosis — two people with the same complaint often need different medicines.

Nothing you share is filler. The seemingly small details are frequently what separates the right prescription from a generic one.

How to prepare (it takes five minutes)

Keep handy: recent reports and prescriptions, photos of every medicine or supplement you currently take, a rough timeline of when the problem started, and a note of what you have already tried. Clear photos in natural light help for skin and hair concerns.

Also note the two or three changes you most want help with, what tends to trigger them, and any questions you do not want to forget. You do not need to prepare a perfect medical history — these prompts simply make the 30 minutes more useful.

For an online consultation, sit somewhere private with a stable connection and decent light. For a child's consultation, the parent who knows the day-to-day pattern best should join. Keep emergency or rapidly worsening concerns for urgent local medical care rather than an online appointment.

What you leave with

A prescription (medicines can be couriered to your doorstep where possible), a realistic timeline with a defined review point, and specific things to observe — so the follow-up is based on evidence, not memory.

Follow-ups are shorter and focus on what changed. The first consultation fee and booking details are on the booking page; asking questions on WhatsApp before booking is free.
