Last reviewed: by Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan, FCPS Cardiology
Key takeaways
- Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan offers online video consultations to patients anywhere in Pakistan, Monday to Saturday, 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM, for Rs. 2,500.
- Online visits work best for report reviews, follow-ups, second opinions and medicine adjustments, where the work is documents and conversation.
- An online consultation is never for emergencies: active chest pain or a suspected heart attack means calling 1122 immediately.
- Clear photos of reports, a week of blood pressure readings and a complete medicine list, prepared before the call, make the consultation far more useful.
- If the video call reveals something needing hands-on assessment, Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan advises an in-person visit at one of his two Abbottabad clinics.
You do not have to be in Abbottabad to consult Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan. The online video consultation is open to patients anywhere in Pakistan, Monday to Saturday, 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM, for Rs. 2,500. It suits report reviews, follow-ups, second opinions and medicine adjustments. Emergencies are the one thing it is not for.
How does the online video consultation work, step by step?
None of it requires technical skill beyond making a video call.
First, request a slot. Use the appointments page and choose the online option, or send a WhatsApp message using the option shown there. Mention your city and a rough preferred time in the 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM window, Monday to Saturday.
The team then confirms your day and time, and tells you how the call will be made.
Before the call, get your papers together. Photograph your reports clearly, one page per photo, in daylight if you can, and have your medicine list and home blood pressure readings ready. There is a full checklist further down this page.
At your slot, Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan connects by video. He takes your history, looks at the reports you share, watches the things a camera can genuinely show, such as breathing effort, ankle swelling and general condition, and asks the questions an examination room would ask.
The consultation ends with a plan: which medicines to continue or change, which readings to track, whether a test is needed, and whether anything requires you to be seen in person.
What is an online cardiology consultation good for?
Video suits the parts of cardiology built on documents, numbers and conversation, which is a surprisingly large share of the work.
Report reviews are the clearest case. An ECG, echo or blood report from any lab in Pakistan can be read and explained in plain Urdu and English, and you find out what the words on it actually mean.
Follow-ups are the next. Stable patients being treated for high blood pressure or heart failure can be reviewed without a journey, which is the difference between attending a follow-up and quietly skipping it.
Second opinions get a calm, independent look at a diagnosis or a recommended procedure before you commit to it. And medicine adjustments work well over video, because doses are tuned against your home readings; this is where a decent record of numbers pays for itself, particularly in hypertension management.
When is an online consultation the wrong choice?
Two situations, and they matter more than everything else on this page.
An emergency. Crushing chest pain right now, pain spreading to the arm or jaw, cold sweats, severe breathlessness, fainting. This is possible heart attack territory. Do not open an app. Call 1122 immediately, or get to DHQ Hospital Abbottabad Emergency, or the nearest hospital Emergency in your own city. Minutes decide outcomes in a heart attack, and no video call shortens them.
A problem that needs hands and instruments. New or unexplained symptoms often deserve a stethoscope, an examination couch and same-room testing such as echocardiography or a formal chest pain evaluation. Video can begin that story. Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan will tell you honestly when it cannot finish it.
How should you prepare before the call?
A few minutes of preparation changes what the consultation can achieve. Before your slot:
- Photograph every report clearly: ECGs, echo reports, blood tests, discharge slips. Flat page, good light, one page per photo.
- Write down your blood pressure readings from the last week or two, each with its date and time, if BP is part of your story.
- List every medicine with its dose, or keep the strips beside you and show them on camera.
- Note the questions you actually want answered. Consultations drift; a written list does not.
- Sit somewhere quiet and well lit, with the phone charged, and put the patient in front of the camera rather than only the attendant.
What does it cost, and when is it available?
The online video consultation costs Rs. 2,500; an in-clinic visit is Rs. 2,000. Slots run Monday to Saturday, 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Pakistan time, with no Sunday consultations. That span is wider than any single clinic's hours, which is deliberate: it has to work around ordinary working days in whatever city the patient is sitting in.
What happens after the call?
You act on the plan. Some patients simply continue their adjusted medicines and send updated readings at the next follow-up. Others are told to come in person, at Abbottabad Diagnostic Center (ADC) for the afternoon, 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, or IDC Abbottabad on the Mandian side for the evening, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Both clinics are by appointment only, so that visit is booked the same way this one was.
Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan, Consultant Cardiologist, runs both halves of this from Abbottabad: the online desk that reaches the rest of Pakistan, and the clinics that receive the patients who really do need to travel.
Frequently asked questions
Can patients anywhere in Pakistan consult Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan online?
Yes. The video consultation needs only a phone with a camera and a working internet connection, so patients join from cities and towns across Pakistan, and families abroad sometimes sit in on the call alongside a parent at home. The fee is Rs. 2,500 and slots run Monday to Saturday, 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Pakistan time.
Can I get an online second opinion before agreeing to an angiography or a stent?
Yes, and second opinions are one of the most common reasons people book. Share clear photos of your reports, plus the angiography film or CD images if you have them, and Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan will explain what they show and go through the options. For some decisions he may still want to see the original films in person before anything is final.
Can the family set up a video call for an elderly patient?
That is how many of these consultations happen. A son or daughter, sometimes in another city, books the slot, gathers the reports as photos, and either sits with the parent during the call or joins remotely. The patient should be on camera so Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan can see them, hear the history in their own words and watch their breathing.
What happens if Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan decides I need an in-person visit after the video call?
He will say so directly, explain why, and tell you what the visit is for, whether that is an examination, an echo or another test that cannot be done over video. You can then book at whichever of the two Abbottabad clinics suits your timing. You travel once, with a clear purpose, instead of travelling to find out whether you needed to.
