Appointments are arranged on WhatsApp: message the clinic, say what you’re seeing, and the team comes back with a time. One conversation, and the fee is on this page before you start it.
The clinic’s diary is worked from this one conversation. Send what you’re seeing and a photograph if you have one; the team replies with a time and tells you what to bring.
For directions, timing or what to bring. A time agreed on the phone is confirmed back to you on WhatsApp, so there is one record of it and not two.
Verified reviews on Practo are attached to real appointments and cannot be edited by the clinic, which is what makes them worth reading before you message anyone.
Dr. (Lt Col) Khagendra Varada
Reg. No. 10461, Hyderabad State Medical Council
Full background →“Dr. Varada is an incredibly patient, knowledgeable and wonderful doctor. He sorted out an issue that I had been dealing with for years in one appointment and there’s been no looking back since!”
“Dr. Varada was excellent. Clearly knowledgeable and thorough, took time to explain what they saw and why. Office staff were friendly and the visit felt unrushed. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a dermatologist who really knows their craft.”
Two fees, both fixed. Knowing them before you start a conversation is the point — nobody should have to ask what a consultation costs after they have already described their problem to a stranger.
₹1,299
History and photographs are taken on WhatsApp first, so the doctor has read your case before the call begins rather than during it.
₹1,499
The full examination, including the two instruments that cannot travel over video: the Wood’s lamp and the dermatoscope.
Fees are for the consultation itself. Where an online consultation turns out to need an examination in person, only the difference of ₹200 is charged, not a second full fee. Medication, tests and procedures are separate and are quoted after examination, in writing.
One consulting location. The address the practice has held for years, under the name BNR Skin & Vitiligo Hospital until recently.

For a rapidly spreading rash with fever, blistering across large areas, or swelling of the lips or tongue, go to a hospital emergency department. Do not wait for a clinic appointment.
Message the clinic on WhatsApp at +91 80088 55330. Say what you’re seeing, attach a photograph if you have one, and the team replies with a time. That is the whole process.
An online video consultation is ₹1,299. An in-person appointment at the clinic in Secunderabad is ₹1,499. Both cover the consultation itself; medication, tests and procedures are separate and are quoted after examination.
Before. Send your history and photographs on WhatsApp, settle the fee, and you then choose a date from the slots that are open. Paying in advance is what holds the slot — it is a video appointment with a doctor, not a callback queue.
No. Only the difference of ₹200 is charged. Being told a video consultation cannot settle your problem is a legitimate outcome, and you should not be charged twice for finding that out.
Because a form is a second queue, and a second queue is where appointments get lost. One WhatsApp conversation holds the booking, the photographs, the reschedule and the reminder, in one place both sides can see.
Message on WhatsApp instead. Practo is used inside the clinic and its reviews are worth reading, but appointments made there are not the queue the team works from. WhatsApp is.
No. Repeat prescriptions for an existing plan can be reviewed at a consultation, including a video consultation, but nothing is prescribed without an examination.
Yes. Ask on WhatsApp and a video consultation is arranged. It suits second opinions, chronic condition reviews and patients outside Hyderabad.
Send a message on the same WhatsApp thread. Doing it there frees the slot immediately for someone else.
Yes: that is the clinic’s former name, and it is still what the Google listing shows. The doctor, the address in Secunderabad and the patient records are unchanged.
Not a treatment plan sold on the spot. Message the clinic and bring your history.
