How We Rank These Doctors

DOCTAR's Kolkata ophthalmologist page states that its top-doctor list is ranked by patient rating. Doctor profiles also display qualifications, experience, patient ratings, consultation fees, availability and hospital affiliation, allowing patients to compare profiles before booking.

The page does not publish a separate weighted formula combining experience, hospital accreditation and credentials, so DOCTAR should not imply that such a formula determines the ranking. NABH/JCI accreditation is displayed on individual listings where applicable. The fetched page also does not provide a verified statement that doctors cannot pay for placement; therefore, no unsupported “no pay-for-placement” claim is made here.
