How We Rank These Doctors

DOCTAR's live surgery directory provides doctor information including specialty, qualifications, experience, patient ratings, consultation fees, practice location and hospital affiliation. Where hospital accreditation information is displayed, the listing identifies facilities with NABH/JCI information.

For this page, doctors are included as laparoscopic options only where the DOCTAR source explicitly identifies laparoscopic training or laparoscopic surgery in the doctor's profile. No doctor has been labelled a laparoscopic specialist solely because they are listed as a general surgeon.

DOCTAR's published terms state that paid promotions cannot be used to obtain sponsored rankings, featured tags or top-of-search positions. The page therefore does not treat payment as a ranking criterion.
