Where do people actually go for this, what does a consultation run, and do clinics take foreign insurance or is it cash only?

Aga Khan University Hospital, Sadar, cash upfront.

Cash only, yeah. Clifton branch too.

Worth noting the Clifton setup is a separate day-care building off Shahrah-e-Firdousi, not the main campus, and you'll want to book a gastroenterologist rather than a general physician.

Good to know. Any idea if the doctor's fee itself is separate from the hospital charges, or is it bundled? I've heard the bills can add up quickly if you need tests.

Some branches want the consultant paid separately from the facility fee, so ask at reception before you book.

Second this, though book the gastro a week ahead.

Getting there is half the battle: Saddar traffic is brutal midday, so book an early morning slot on Stadium Road side.

Their gastro OPD is in the main building, not the private wing, so follow the signs past the pharmacy.

Ask reception to itemise the consultant fee separately from lab work, or you'll pay twice without noticing.

I stopped by the Bahadurabad branch last year and it's tiny, maybe four stools, so plan to eat standing or take it away. Ask for the dabeli with extra masala and sev on the side so it doesn't go soft on the walk.

Extra green chutney on the side is the move, and go before 6pm since they sell out of the pav by evening.
