Terms of use

Ari Ortho is published for the general information of patients and those seeking information about orthopaedic conditions and treatment. By using it, you accept these terms and the medical disclaimer.

You may read, print and share pages for your own personal, non-commercial use — including printing a page to take to another doctor, which is actively encouraged.

The clinical content on this site is general information, not advice for your individual situation, and it does not create a doctor–patient relationship. Please read the medical disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.

Appointments requested by phone, WhatsApp or email are confirmed by the practice; a request is not itself a confirmed booking until you have been told the date and time.

Consultation and surgical fees are quoted before you commit to anything. Where surgery is planned, you will be given a written estimate covering the surgeon's fee, hospital and theatre charges, anaesthetist, implants where applicable, and the expected length of stay. Hospital and implant charges are set by the hospital rather than by the practice and can change.

Insurance cover, and whether a cashless facility is available, depends on your own policy and on the insurer's pre-authorisation. The practice will support a claim you ask us to support, but cannot guarantee an insurer's decision.

The text, photographs, illustrations and design of this website are the property of Ari Ortho — Dr. Dipen Ariwala unless otherwise stated. The clinical content was written specifically for this site.

Please do not republish it as your own. If you would like to quote or reference something here, that is welcome — attribute it and link back.

The photographs on this site are from the practice itself. Clinical images are published only where they are informative and where any necessary consent has been given.

Every reasonable effort is made to keep this site accurate and available, and each clinical page shows the date it was last reviewed. Even so, no warranty is given that it is complete, error-free or continuously available.

If you spot something that appears wrong or out of date, please tell us so it can be corrected.

Links to other organisations are provided where the material is thought to be useful. Those sites are outside our control and we are not responsible for their content.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of Surat, Gujarat have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

Questions about these terms can be sent to drdipenariwala@gmail.com.
