How we rank these doctors

DOCTAR's Kolkata oncology listing says rankings combine verified patient reviews, experience and qualifications. Individual profiles also display the doctor's practice location, hospital or clinic affiliation, consultation fee and available appointment information. Where hospital accreditation is explicitly displayed in the listing, it can be considered as an additional comparison signal; for example, Manipal Hospitals (AMRI Hospitals) is shown with NABH / JCI accreditation on Dr. Ashutosh Daga's listing.

DOCTAR does not publish a separate scoring formula on the live oncology page or state that hospital accreditation is a weighted component of the ranking. This page therefore does not claim a hidden ranking score or pay-for-placement arrangement that cannot be verified from the source.
