2. No doctor-patient relationship with Doctiplus
Using Doctiplus — including searching for doctors, reading health content, submitting a contact form, asking a question, or booking an appointment — does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and Doctiplus.

Doctiplus acts as a platform that connects patients with independent medical professionals. We are not a party to the clinical relationship that forms when you consult a listed doctor.
Any advice, treatment recommendation, or diagnosis you receive comes from the individual doctor you consult — not from Doctiplus. The doctor’s own professional obligations and standards of care apply to everything they tell you during a consultation.
