Saurabh Maskara
Co-Founder · CEO
After graduating from law school and travelling across Africa in 2009, just after graduating from law school, Saurabh kept hearing the same question: is it safe to travel to India for treatment? That question became GapDoc — co-founded with Divyanu Gupta, whose family runs hospitals in India. Divyanu went on to develop and build large hospital networks across India — the relationships from those early days remain the backbone of GapDoc's hospital network today. The platform earned major media coverage across Nigeria and West Africa. He is also the founder of Mahabir Group, building gap marketplaces across food, publishing, timber and healthcare.

Dr. Tripti Lath
Co-Founder · Clinical Lead
A paediatric dentist and surgeon, Dr. Tripti co-founded GapDoc to close the gap she saw every day — patients who needed dental and medical treatment they simply couldn't access or afford. She leads GapDoc's dental vertical and the materials sourcing programme for African dental practices. Her clinical expertise is what gives patients the confidence that their case has been genuinely reviewed — not just processed.
"Countless people in Africa would ask — is it reliable, safe to travel to India, is it affordable? That question is still being asked. We built GapDoc to answer it, permanently."

Common Questions

Everything you want to know.
Honest answers.

No brochure speak. Just real answers from people who've lived in this industry.

00.
What does the concierge service actually include?
Everything. Flights advice, medical visa (we get the hospital letter for you), accommodation near the clinic or hospital, airport pickup in India, hospital liaison throughout your stay, family sightseeing and safari arrangements, and full medical records packaged and sent to your home doctor after you return. One WhatsApp number from the first message to the return flight. Nothing falls through the cracks because one team owns the whole journey.
Think of us as a very well-connected friend in the medical world — one who knows which hospitals are genuinely excellent, which doctors are the right fit, and how to get you there without the stress.
Concierge
01.
Can my family come with me? What will they do?
Yes — and this is one of the things that makes medical travel genuinely enjoyable rather than just a necessity. While you are in treatment or recovering, your family doesn't have to sit in a waiting room. We arrange day trips and experiences tailored to who has come with you and how long you'll be there.
Experiences we arrange
Taj Mahal day trip from Delhi · Kerala backwaters · Goa beach stay · Jaipur and Rajasthan tours · Mumbai city experiences · Kerala Ayurvedic wellness · And from South Africa — Kruger Park safari, Cape Town, Garden Route
If you are coming from South Africa, we can also arrange a short safari before or after your treatment — combining a family holiday with a medical trip. This is increasingly how our patients plan their visits.
Family & Travel
02.
Why is dental work so much cheaper in India?
The same reason a restaurant meal costs less in India than in London — the cost of running a practice is lower. The materials are often identical (many Indian dental labs manufacture for European brands), the training is comparable, and the clinics are modern. A single implant in South Africa costs $3,000–$5,000. In India, the same procedure at a BIS-certified clinic costs $500–$700. That is not a compromise. That is arithmetic.
Dr. Tripti Lath, our Co-Founder and a trained prosthodontist, reviews every dental case before you travel. She knows which clinics meet the standard and which don't. Her involvement is the quality filter.
Dental
03.
I'm a dentist. Can I source materials through GapDoc?
Yes — this is one of the new things we've built. If you run a dental practice in Africa or the Middle East, you're paying European import prices for materials manufactured to the same ISO and BIS standard in India at 30–60% lower cost. Dr. Tripti Lath, our Co-Founder, built and leads our materials sourcing vertical.
What we source
Dental implant systems · Zirconia and E-max blanks · Composite resins · Impression materials · Dental cements · Orthodontic supplies · Sterilisation consumables · Dental chairs and equipment · X-ray sensors · Anaesthetic supplies
No minimum order on a trial basis. We identify the certified manufacturer, handle quality checks, and manage shipping. Your first order typically ships within 3 weeks.
For Dentists
04.
Do you only cover India?
India is our primary destination and where we have the deepest hospital partnerships. We also operate in South Africa — where IVF, cosmetic surgery, and orthopaedics are strong draws for patients from across the African continent. For select treatments we also have partnerships in Thailand (cosmetic surgery, dental, orthopaedics), Dubai and the UAE (cardiac referrals for Gulf-based patients), and Singapore (complex oncology and neurology cases). We'll recommend the right destination based on your specific treatment and where you are travelling from.
Destinations
05.
Can I get a second opinion before committing?
Absolutely — and we'd encourage it before any major procedure. Send us your diagnosis, scans and current treatment recommendation. Dr. Tripti and our partner specialists review your case and respond with an independent view within 3–5 working days. For dental cases this is entirely remote. No travel needed for the second opinion itself.
What to send us
Dental: OPG X-ray, CBCT scan if available, photos, current treatment plan.
Medical: Diagnosis report, recent scans (MRI, CT), blood work, doctor's recommendation.
Second Opinions
06.
I'm a doctor. How does referring a patient work?
One WhatsApp. That's the referral. You send us the patient's name and diagnosis, and we take it from there. Hospital matching, cost estimate, visa, flights, accommodation, and follow-up. You don't fill out a single form. Your referral fee is paid within 30 days of the patient's treatment completion.
Ambassadors
07.
How much does it cost to use GapDoc?
The first consultation is always free. We earn a disclosed commission from partner hospitals and clinics when a patient completes treatment — they pay us, not you. Your bill is the same whether you came through GapDoc or found the clinic yourself. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Transparency is not a feature. It's how we sleep at night.
