How Doctar Ranks These Doctors

Doctar's Kolkata nephrologist listings provide comparison information including verified patient ratings, review counts, years of experience, qualifications, consultation fees, hospital or clinic affiliation and appointment availability. The live page states that its rankings combine verified patient reviews, experience and qualifications. Hospital accreditation is displayed where available on individual listings, including NABH/JCI information for several hospitals.

Doctar's source page does not provide enough information to independently verify a separate pay-for-placement policy, so this page does not claim that individual doctors are ranked because of or independently of paid placement.
