Dr. Gaurav Jain reads your X-rays, MRI and previous notes before you meet, then spends 20 unhurried minutes with you on video — examining, explaining, and writing down advice your own doctor can act on. Held between 5 PM and 9 PM India time, which is morning in the Americas and afternoon across Europe and the Gulf.
Six steps, and you are never left wondering what happens next — every stage sends you an email.
Choose your country, tell us what is wrong and which days suit you. Payment is taken in your own currency.
Usually within a few hours, from his 5–9 PM India evening clinic. You are emailed that time in your timezone.
One click. Decline as often as you need — a time that does not work for you is no use to anybody.
X-rays, MRI, blood reports, old prescriptions, operative notes, a video of the walking. All read before the call.
Both of you get a reminder with the room link. A calendar invite with a Google Meet backup is already in your diary.
Video, your reports and chat on one screen. Afterwards, written advice by email — diagnosis, plan, and what to watch for.
Orthopedics is a visual, physical speciality. The consultation room is built for that rather than being a generic video call.
Every report you upload sits in a panel beside the video. The surgeon can put a particular X-ray on your screen while he talks through it, so you are both looking at the same thing.
He cannot lay hands on the patient, so he guides the adult with you through the same clinical tests he would do himself — Thomas, Trendelenburg, Galeazzi, popliteal angle, rotational profile, and dozens more.
If a test needs demonstrating, he sends a short video straight onto your screen mid-consultation. Nobody has to interpret an instruction like "check the popliteal angle" from words alone.
Spellings of drug names, measurements, a website, a question you were too shy to ask out loud. The chat sits next to the video and is kept with your record.
A summary by email — the working diagnosis, what should be done next, what to watch for — written so your local orthopedic surgeon or physiotherapist can act on it directly.
Your documents live in a private folder that only the surgeon can open, reached through a one-off link that is unique to your consultation. Nothing is shared, sold or indexed.
A second opinion is routine in orthopaedics. No reasonable surgeon takes offence at one, and the good ones encourage it. These are the situations where it changes the most.
Not because the advice is wrong — usually it isn't — but because consent you don't understand isn't really consent. You should be able to explain, in your own words, what is being done and what happens if you wait.
A growth plate, a hip or a spine in a child behaves nothing like the adult version. Timing often matters more than technique, and an operation done a year too early or too late can need repeating.
Relapsed clubfoot, a hip that has re-subluxated, a deformity that has recurred after correction. Recurrence usually has a reason, and finding it matters more than repeating the same treatment.
Genuine disagreement between competent surgeons is common and usually means the evidence is finely balanced. A third view can tell you why they disagree, which is often more useful than another vote.
Sometimes that is true and hearing it twice brings peace. Sometimes it reflects what is available locally rather than what is possible. Both are worth knowing.
Before booking flights and taking leave, it is worth knowing whether the journey is necessary at all, and what could reasonably be done closer to home.
Dr. Jain's practice is paediatric and deformity orthopaedics. These are the problems people most often bring for a second opinion — each links to a detailed explanation of the condition itself.
Ponseti casting, tenotomy, bracing and what to do when the foot turns in again. Bring the casting history, the age treatment began, and whether the brace was tolerated.
Late-presenting dysplasia, a hip that has re-dislocated after treatment, and the choice between bracing, closed reduction and open surgery.
Contractures, hip surveillance, single-event multilevel surgery, and whether an operation being proposed is the right one at the right age.
Ilizarov and modern lengthening, angular correction, and realistic expectations about time, pain and outcome.
How much difference actually matters, when to consider epiphysiodesis, and when to leave it alone.
Distinguishing normal developmental variation, which resolves on its own, from Blount disease or rickets, which do not.
Containment, restriction of activity, and the difficult judgement about whether and when to operate.
Curve progression, bracing versus surgery, and what the Cobb angle does and does not tell you.
Fractures that have healed crooked, growth plate injuries, and how much remodelling to expect from a growing bone.
Two of the commonest reasons children are referred, and two of the commonest reasons they are over-treated.
Recovery expectations, when nerve surgery is considered, and later shoulder reconstruction.
Joint protection, deformity prevention, and the orthopaedic side of a condition largely managed by rheumatology.

Most people booking this consultation are abroad — Indian families settled overseas, and international patients who want a view from a high-volume paediatric orthopaedic practice.
The 5–9 PM India window is deliberate. It is early morning in North America, late morning to afternoon across the UK and Europe, afternoon in the Gulf and Africa, and evening in South-East Asia and Australia. You are never asked to convert it yourself — every email leads with your own local time.
The written summary is deliberately phrased so your local orthopaedic surgeon, paediatrician or physiotherapist can act on it. It names the working diagnosis, what should happen next and what to watch for, rather than simply telling you to come to India.
This page reads in 38 languages. During the consultation, chat messages are translated in both directions automatically, and your emails arrive in the language you chose — so a language barrier is not a reason to go without an opinion.
The honest answer is often that you do not need to. When treatment here genuinely is the better option, you will be told what it would involve, roughly how long it would take, and what could be done at home instead.
