How we rank these doctors

This page pulls directly from Doctar's live Kolkata pediatrician directory (181 verified profiles as of August 21, 2026). Doctar's own ranking combines three factors shown transparently on each profile: verified patient reviews, years of clinical experience, and documented qualifications (MBBS plus MD/DCH/MRCPCH or equivalent). Two separate rankings appear below — "top-rated by reviews" and "top 5 by experience" — because a doctor with more reviews isn't always the most experienced, and parents may weight these differently. Ratings, fees, and availability change as new bookings and reviews come in, so figures here reflect a snapshot; check the live Doctar page for the current numbers before booking.
