The doctors behind your care

Every prescription, and every word we publish, carries a named clinician's registration number.

Treatment at Karespot is prescribed and supervised by doctors registered with a State Medical Council in India, and our educational content is written by a research academic and independently reviewed by a registered physician before it is published. Below is every person in those two groups, with their qualifications and council registration number, so you can verify them yourself.

Why this page exists

A named, registered doctor — not an algorithm

Weight-loss medication is prescription-only in India for good reason, and a service that will not tell you who is prescribing is not one you should hand your history to. Karespot publishes the qualifications and council registration of every clinician involved in care and in content, because that is the minimum a patient needs to make an informed choice. Not everyone who applies is found suitable, and being told no is a legitimate outcome of a proper assessment.

Common questions about our clinicians

Are Karespot's prescribing doctors registered in India?

Yes. Every doctor who prescribes through Karespot holds an MBBS and an MD in Internal Medicine, and is registered with a State Medical Council. Registration numbers are published on this page and on each doctor's own profile: Dr. Jainendra Kumar (Reg. 3461) and Dr. Ratnil Joshi (Reg. 10178), both with the State Medical Council, Uttarakhand, and Dr. Shivani Jain (Reg. 32876) with the Madhya Pradesh Medical Council.

Who decides whether I am eligible for GLP-1 treatment?

A registered doctor does, not an algorithm and not a salesperson. The eligibility check collects your history and measurements, and a prescribing physician reviews it before any medication is considered. Not everyone who applies is found suitable.

Is Karespot's health content written by doctors?

Karespot's educational articles are written by Dr. Prakrati Garg, a PhD researcher and Assistant Professor, and medically reviewed by Dr. Sana Umar, FRCP, a clinical pathologist registered with the Uttarakhand Medical Council (Reg. 8506), before publication.

What is the difference between a prescriber, a reviewer and an advisor at Karespot?

Prescribers assess patients and issue prescriptions. The content team writes and medically reviews published guidance but does not prescribe. Advisors contribute specialist or operational expertise and are not involved in individual treatment decisions.
