How to book an appointment at Starcare Hospital Calicut
The hospital currently provides both an online appointment-request route and a phone route. Online submission is a request rather than a guarantee that the requested date or doctor is available.

Doctor OP days and hours vary by specialty. A department may have more than one consultant with different schedules.
Use the hospital’s Book an Appointment page and enter the requested patient, contact, department and date information.
The hospital says its team will get back to the patient after the appointment form is submitted. Do not treat form submission alone as a confirmed consultation slot.
The hospital’s website FAQ gives 0495 2489000 for appointment booking, while 0495 3069000 is shown as the general query/help line.
Confirm whether you need to arrive earlier for registration, billing, insurance approval or a diagnostic test before consultation.
Starcare Hospital OPD timings: what patients should know
There is no verified single hospital-wide OPD schedule on the current pages checked. Starcare publishes consultation timing on individual department or doctor pages, and those timings can be different.
| OPD question | What current hospital pages show | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Is there one OPD time? | No single universal specialty schedule was found on the pages checked. | Confirm the exact doctor or department. |
| Do timings vary? | Yes. Different specialists publish different consultation days and hours. | Check again close to the visit date. |
| Can a timing change? | At least one current department page specifically warns that doctor OP timing may vary because of emergency work. | Call before a long-distance trip. |
| Does appointment time equal reporting time? | Not necessarily. | Ask when registration and billing should be completed. |
