DOkTM — Choose the Best

Medical Disclaimer

Important information about the nature of DOkTM and the content shown on the platform.

Last updated: September 2026

Please read this disclaimer carefully. It explains what DOkTM is and is not, and how to use the information on the platform.

Not a medical provider

DOkTM is a discovery and information platform, not a practitioner or facility.

Not clinical advice

Content is general information, not a substitute for professional care.

Emergencies

In an emergency, contact your local emergency services directly.

1. What DOkTM is

DOkTM is a healthcare discovery and information platform. It helps users discover and compare doctors, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, diagnostic and imaging services, surgical products, conferences and educational content. DOkTM is not itself a hospital, clinic, laboratory, doctor, or medical treatment provider, and does not provide medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.

2. Information is general, not clinical

All information on DOkTM — including provider details, service descriptions, prices, educational content, and conference listings — is provided for general informational and discovery purposes only. It is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, medical advice, a clinical diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation.

Educational content on the platform is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Users should consult an appropriately qualified and licensed healthcare professional for individual medical decisions and before acting on any information found on DOkTM.

3. Emergencies

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, do not rely on DOkTM. Contact your local emergency medical services immediately or go to the nearest emergency facility. Emergency situations require appropriate emergency medical care without delay.

4. No guarantee of clinical outcomes

DOkTM does not guarantee any clinical outcome. Outcomes depend on many individual factors, including the patient's condition, the provider's clinical judgement, and circumstances that cannot be predicted or controlled by DOkTM. Any clinical outcome is the responsibility of the treating provider.

5. Listings are not endorsements

Listing a healthcare provider, product, company, or conference on DOkTM does not constitute a medical endorsement, a guarantee of quality, or a recommendation by DOkTM. A listing indicates that the entity appears on the platform for discovery purposes, subject to its stated verification status.

6. Price comparison is not a recommendation

Where price information is available, price comparison is provided to help users understand cost differences. It does not constitute a recommendation. A lower price does not necessarily mean better or equivalent clinical care. Price is only one of many factors to consider when choosing a healthcare provider.

7. Why prices and quotations vary

Prices and quotations shown on DOkTM may vary because of factors including, but not limited to:

  • Clinical requirements specific to the patient's condition
  • Consumables and materials used
  • Implants and devices selected
  • Room category and length of stay
  • Investigations and tests required
  • Additional or concurrent procedures
  • Complications or extended care
  • Applicable taxes
  • Insurance coverage and government health schemes
  • Individual provider policies and negotiated rates

A final price can only be confirmed by the provider after clinical assessment. A quotation requested through DOkTM is an enquiry and does not guarantee a fixed final price.

8. Price and rate provenance

DOkTM shows several kinds of rate information. Provider-submitted rates are submitted by providers and reviewed by DOkTM before publication. DOkTM-reviewed rates have passed DOkTM's review. External reference prices are prices observed at public external sources and are clearly identified as external reference — an external reference price is not a provider's rate and may be outdated or inapplicable. Sponsored placements are commercial placements and say nothing about a provider's rates. Always contact the provider for the current rate.

9. Appointment availability

Where appointment requesting is available, submitting a request is an enquiry — it is not a confirmed booking. Appointments are confirmed only by the provider, and availability may change at any time. DOkTM does not guarantee that a provider will confirm any requested appointment.

10. No reliance

You use DOkTM at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, DOkTM is not liable for any decision made, or action taken, in reliance on information displayed on the platform.

These policies are provided for general informational purposes and should be reviewed and finalized by appropriate legal counsel before commercial launch. They are not legal advice.

DOkTM uses privacy-friendly first-party analytics with random, short-lived anonymous identifiers to measure reach and improve the platform. No personal data, no logins required, no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking — identifiers are never linked to your identity. See our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
