We’re a clinic in Bangalore built on a different model of care - one that delivers high-quality medical care by removing financial incentives to over-treat, ensuring decisions are guided by evidence and necessity, not sales targets.
No referral cuts. No upselling. No unnecessary surgeries or prescriptions.
Our business model is different.
Our care is led by highly qualified, experienced doctors and supported by modern, reliable medical equipment. We focus on careful evaluation, clear communication, and treatments grounded in evidence—so you receive care that's thoughtful, thorough, and consistently high quality.
We do not pay to receive patients, and we do not earn money for sending you elsewhere. Referrals are made only when clinically necessary—not because another doctor, lab, or hospital pays for them.
Our clinicians are not rewarded for ordering tests, prescribing medications, or recommending procedures. If a test or prescription isn't medically necessary, it isn't offered.
This approach is especially valuable if you're seeking a clear, unbiased second opinion without pressure to proceed. We start with the least invasive, most evidence-led approach to care. Surgery, antibiotics, and aggressive treatments are considered carefully—only when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks.
Financial incentives often favour speed, volume, and intervention. Over-testing and overtreatment are easier to sustain than careful, restrained care.
Unnecessary tests, procedures, and prescriptions are often presented as routine—making a systemic problem feel normal, invisible, and hard to question.
The Honest Hospital Project exists to take this problem head-on and prove that ethical, patient-first care can survive and succeed—even if the system resists it.
Healthcare is difficult to do right. We've seen firsthand how the system works—from the inside.
In today's healthcare environment, it is often easier to grow and remain profitable by over-testing, over-prescribing, and prioritising revenue over restraint. Doing the right thing is harder. Ethical care takes more time, brings slower growth, and often means saying no—to revenue, to shortcuts, and to practices that quietly harm patients.
That's why so few institutions are built this way. But the problem is too obvious—and too serious—to ignore. Financial incentives influence medical decisions more than most patients realise: unnecessary tests, avoidable procedures, inflated prescriptions, and referral arrangements that benefit everyone except the patient.
We believe this must be challenged. The Honest Hospital Project is our attempt to prove that a clinic can be sustainable, trusted, and high-quality without relying on unethical incentives. It may not be the easiest path. It may not be the fastest-growing one. But it is the right one.
A doctor should be your trusted guide, not a salesperson. At The Honest Hospital Project, our clinicians have chosen to work here because this model allows them to practice medicine with restraint, honesty, and time—without compromising their judgment.
Orthopaedics
“Healthcare should never be about sales targets or unnecessary procedures. Every decision I make is guided by one question: What is truly best for this patient's long-term health?”
From your first visit onward, our process is intentionally slower and more transparent. This gives you time to speak, understand your options, and make decisions without pressure.
We schedule longer appointments by design. There is no rush, no interruptions, and no incentive to move quickly. Your concerns guide the consultation, not the clock.
We explain your condition, test results, and treatment options in plain language. If something isn't clear, we slow down. Understanding your care is a core part of staying safe.
You will never be pressured into tests, medications, or procedures. If something is optional—or can safely wait—you'll be told clearly. From medical decisions to pricing, everything is explained upfront.
