Frequently asked questions
Is BuddyDoc a doctor?
No. BuddyDoc is an AI chat assistant that provides general health information for research and reference only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a replacement for your doctor.
Can BuddyDoc diagnose my condition?
No — and it will never claim to. BuddyDoc explains general information about symptoms, lab results, and medications in plain language. Only a qualified clinician can diagnose or treat you.
What can I ask about?
Anything health-related you're curious about: what a lab result means, why you might feel a certain symptom, how a medicine generally works, sleep, stress, nutrition, and more.
What if I have an emergency?
Call your local emergency number (911 in the US) immediately. BuddyDoc is not designed for emergencies and will point you to emergency services if your question sounds urgent.
Does BuddyDoc give medication dosages?
No exact dosages — especially not for children. For dosing questions, please consult your pharmacist or doctor.
Is my health information private?
We don't sell data. Chat history is kept in your browser rather than on our servers, and you can delete your account anytime. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Why do you show a disclaimer everywhere?
Because your health matters too much for guesswork. BuddyDoc is honest about being an information tool — when it comes to your health, a real clinician should always have the final word.
