Medical Disclaimer

Not medical advice

Information on this website is provided for general informational purposes and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Pages about conditions, treatments, recovery, and clinic services are general descriptions. They are not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a recommendation for you as an individual. They cannot replace an in-person examination, imaging review, or discussion of risks and alternatives.

No doctor–patient relationship

Visiting this website, reading a page, using Give feedback, or sending an email does not create a doctor–patient relationship with Dr. Viplav Shetty or with Aviva Ortho Clinic or Fortis Hospital, Rajajinagar. That relationship begins only when you are accepted for clinical care through the clinic or hospital.

Seek personal care

Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional with any questions you have about a medical condition. Do not disregard professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

This site is not the right channel for:

• Urgent or emergency symptoms
• Personal diagnosis or second opinions without a consultation
• Prescriptions, investigation reports, or test interpretation
• Post-operative instructions tailored to your surgery

Emergencies

If you think you have a medical emergency—such as a serious injury, sudden loss of function, uncontrolled bleeding, chest pain, or difficulty breathing—contact local emergency services immediately (in India, dial 112) or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for a website reply or a routine clinic slot.

Outcomes and treatments

Orthopaedic problems and recoveries vary. What is described for knee, shoulder, sports injury, joint replacement, trauma, or foot and ankle care may not apply to you. Surgery is not always required. Where surgery is discussed, it is an option that depends on examination, imaging, and shared decision-making.

No result is guaranteed. Complications can occur with both non-surgical and surgical treatment. Past patient stories and reviews are individual experiences, not a promise of the same outcome.

Accuracy

We aim to keep information current, but medicine changes. Timings, locations, and service lists may change without notice. If something on the site conflicts with advice given in clinic, follow the advice given in your consultation.

Third-party information

Google reviews, maps, and any external links are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their medical content or accuracy.
