Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about finding doctors and using DoctorReviews.

How do I check a doctor's rating and reviews online in India?

Three useful sources for 2026: (1) DoctorReviews.in — profiles marked ✓ NMC Verified are cross-checked against the NMC public register; submitted reviews are human-moderated; optional ✓ Verified Visit badge via prescription/bill upload. (2) NMC register at nmc.org.in — confirms registration, qualification, council, and disciplinary history (but no patient reviews). (3) Google reviews — high volume but not licence-verified. Read 3-5 specific reviews, not just the average rating.

Are DoctorReviews.in different from Google reviews of doctors?

Three core differences: (1) NMC cross-check on profiles marked ✓ NMC Verified. (2) ✓ Verified Visit badge — patients optionally upload prescription or bill as proof of consultation; the proof is never public and is deleted after moderation. (3) Human moderation before publishing. See our full side-by-side comparison.

Why are 5-star doctor reviews on Google often unreliable?

Five red flags: (1) Only 5-stars, no 3- or 4-star reviews — real patient experience is bell-shaped. (2) Generic praise with no specific incidents, dates, or hospital names. (3) Identical phrasing across multiple "patients" (copy-paste from paid services). (4) Reviews posted in batches within days of each other. (5) Reviewer accounts with no other review history. A brand-new doctor with 50+ 5-star reviews and zero negatives is statistically implausible. Full guide: spotting fake reviews.

How do I write a useful review for a doctor?

Cover six things: (1) Diagnosis accuracy — was it correct? (2) Treatment outcome — did it work? (3) Doctor behaviour — patient and clear, or dismissive? (4) Wait time — actual vs scheduled. (5) Staff and cleanliness. (6) Fee transparency — were charges as published? Avoid vague praise ("great doctor"), other patients' identifiable details, and your full medical history. Be specific — name the condition, the procedure, the fee. Write a review →

What makes a good review for hospital and doctor?

Specifics beat superlatives. A good review names: (a) the condition or symptom you went in with, (b) whether the diagnosis was accurate, (c) the treatment plan and outcome, (d) the wait time and staff handling, (e) the fee and whether it matched the published list, (f) whether you would recommend and why. Two to four sentences with one specific incident beats a long paragraph of generic praise. Full guide →

How do I verify a doctor's NMC registration?

Two minutes on nmc.org.in: search by name or registration number. The result shows registration number, council, qualifications, year of registration, and any disciplinary actions. On DoctorReviews.in, the green ✓ NMC Verified badge means we've already done this check. The NMC register is the only authoritative source — every other review platform can be manipulated. Full walkthrough: NMC verification guide.

What is the consultation fee for specialist doctors in India?

Specialist fees vary by city and doctor seniority. In metros: many private consultations fall around ₹500–₹3,000, while senior specialists at premium hospitals may charge more. Government hospital OPD fees are usually much lower. DoctorReviews displays fee information where publicly checked; always confirm the current fee with the clinic or hospital before visiting.

Are these doctor reviews verified?

Submitted reviews are human-moderated before publishing. Reviewers may additionally upload a prescription or consultation bill to earn a green ✓ Verified Visit badge — proof that they actually saw the doctor. The proof file is never shown publicly and is deleted after moderation. Doctor profiles marked ✓ NMC Verified are cross-checked against the NMC public register. Suspicious or paid review patterns are rejected.

Common Health Questions, Plain-English Answers

General information our editors compile from public medical guidance. Not a substitute for consulting a qualified doctor.

🔴 Can chest pain be due to acidity rather than a heart attack? How do I know the difference?
Acidity-related chest pain (GERD) usually worsens after eating, feels like burning, and improves with antacids. Heart-related chest pain is often a pressure or squeezing sensation, may radiate to the arm or jaw, and doesn't improve with antacids. Rule of thumb: if you're sweating, breathless, or the pain is severe — go to a hospital immediately. Don't self-diagnose chest pain.
Gastroenterologist / Cardiologist📖 Editorial guidance · always consult a doctor
💊 Is it safe to take paracetamol every day for chronic back pain?
Daily paracetamol for more than 2–3 weeks is not recommended without medical supervision. Chronic use can cause liver stress, especially if combined with alcohol. For ongoing back pain, you need a proper diagnosis — physiotherapy, targeted exercises, and sometimes anti-inflammatory medication are far better long-term options. Visit an orthopaedic specialist or pain management doctor.
Orthopaedic Surgeon📖 Editorial guidance · always consult a doctor
🩺 My fasting blood sugar is 118 mg/dL. Am I diabetic? Should I see a doctor?
A fasting blood sugar of 100–125 mg/dL is classified as "pre-diabetes." Above 126 mg/dL on two separate tests confirms Type 2 diabetes. At 118, you are in the pre-diabetic range — this is reversible with diet changes, exercise, and weight management. You should see a diabetologist or endocrinologist immediately. An HbA1c test will give a better 3-month average picture.
Diabetologist / Endocrinologist📖 Editorial guidance · always consult a doctor
👶 My 18-month-old has not started speaking yet. Is this a delay? Which doctor should I see?
By 18 months, most children say 10–20 words. If your child uses fewer words, points at objects, and responds to their name, mild delay is possible but treatable. Visit a developmental paediatrician or child neurologist. A hearing test is also recommended as hearing loss is a common cause of speech delay. Early intervention (speech therapy) significantly improves outcomes — don't wait.
Paediatrician / Child Neurologist📖 Editorial guidance · always consult a doctor
🧠 I have constant anxiety and panic attacks. Is this a mental illness? Should I be embarrassed to see a psychiatrist?
Anxiety disorder is a medical condition, not a character weakness. Panic attacks are among the most treatable mental health conditions — over 90% of patients respond well to CBT therapy or medication. Seeing a psychiatrist is no different from seeing a cardiologist for a heart issue. There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. Early treatment prevents anxiety from worsening into depression.
Psychiatrist / Psychologist📖 Editorial guidance · always consult a doctor
🌡️ I've had a fever of 101°F for 3 days. When should I go to hospital vs. stay home?
A fever under 102°F that responds to paracetamol and has no other alarming symptoms can usually be managed at home for 3–5 days. Visit a doctor immediately if: fever exceeds 103°F, you have rash, stiff neck, difficulty breathing, severe headache, or the fever does not come down with medication. In India, 3-day fevers should always be tested for dengue, malaria, and typhoid — especially during monsoon season.
General Physician / Internal Medicine📖 Editorial guidance · always consult a doctor

Finding the Best Doctor in India — Complete Guide 2026

Choosing the right doctor is one of the most important healthcare decisions you will make. In India, with over 13 lakh registered doctors and thousands of hospitals, finding an experienced specialist in your city can be overwhelming. DoctorReviews helps you compare doctor profiles, patient reviews, and NMC-check signals where available — making healthcare decisions more transparent.

How to Find the Best Cardiologist in India

India has over 10,000 cardiologists, but quality varies significantly. When searching for the best cardiologist in Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore, look for: NMC registration, FACC or DM Cardiology qualification, hospital affiliation with a cath lab, minimum 10 years post-specialisation experience, and at least 4.5 rating on DoctorReviews with 50+ reviews. Top cardiac hospitals include AIIMS, Apollo, Medanta, Fortis Escorts, and Narayana Health. Consultation fees for cardiologists in India range from ₹500 (government) to ₹3,000 (senior specialist at private hospital).

Best Dermatologist in India — What to Look For

For skin problems — acne, psoriasis, hair loss, pigmentation, or cosmetic procedures — always verify that the doctor is a qualified Dermatologist (MD Dermatology or DVD) and not just a general physician offering skin treatments. In metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore, specialist dermatologists charge ₹800–₹2,500 per consultation. For cosmetic procedures (laser, PRP, Botox), always request before/after photos and verify the clinic is equipped with FDA-approved devices. Read DoctorReviews reviews focusing on treatment outcome, not just bedside manner.

Finding the Best Gynaecologist for IVF in India

India is one of the world's most affordable destinations for IVF and fertility treatment, with success rates of 40–60% per cycle at top centres. When choosing a gynaecologist for IVF, check: DM/DNB Reproductive Medicine qualification, clinic's published success rates (not just "success" claims), egg quality and embryo grading protocols, and patient reviews specifically mentioning IVF outcomes. Top IVF centres in India: Nova IVF, Indira IVF, Manipal Fertility, and hospital-based fertility units at Apollo and Fortis. DoctorReviews's gynaecologist reviews include IVF-specific ratings.

Best Orthopaedic Surgeons in India — Knee & Hip Replacement

Knee replacement surgery in India costs ₹1.5–₹4.5 lakhs at private hospitals versus ₹30,000–₹60,000 at government hospitals — a massive difference. When choosing an orthopaedic surgeon for joint replacement, verify: MCh or DNB Orthopaedics, fellowship in joint replacement, minimum 500 joint replacement surgeries performed, hospital with dedicated orthopaedic physiotherapy, and implant brand used (Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, and DePuy are internationally certified). Patient reviews on DoctorReviews frequently mention post-surgery recovery experience and physiotherapy quality.

Mental Health in India — Finding a Psychiatrist or Psychologist

India has fewer than 9,000 psychiatrists for 1.4 billion people — making mental healthcare access a critical challenge. When seeking help for depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, or bipolar disorder, verify: MD Psychiatry qualification for prescribing medication (psychologists cannot prescribe in India), registration with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) for psychologists, experience with your specific condition, and whether they offer online consultations (many psychiatrists now offer telepsychiatry). DoctorReviews is one of the few platforms with verified reviews for psychiatrists and mental health professionals across India.

NABH vs Non-NABH Hospitals — Why Accreditation Matters

NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) is India's highest hospital quality standard, benchmarked against international ISQUA standards. NABH-accredited hospitals must maintain strict protocols for infection control, patient safety, medication management, and staff training. JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation is the global gold standard — currently held by about 30 hospitals in India. When choosing a hospital for surgery, always prefer NABH-accredited facilities. All hospitals listed on DoctorReviews display their accreditation status clearly.

Doctor Consultation Fees in India — City-Wise Comparison 2026

Consultation fees vary significantly by city, doctor seniority, hospital, and appointment type. Publicly listed fees can become outdated quickly, so DoctorReviews shows fee information only where available and patients should always confirm the current fee before visiting.

How to Write a Helpful Doctor Review on DoctorReviews

A helpful doctor review mentions: (1) Diagnosis accuracy — did the doctor correctly identify your condition?; (2) Treatment outcome — did the prescribed treatment work?; (3) Doctor behaviour — was the doctor patient, did they explain clearly?; (4) Wait time — actual wait time vs. appointment time; (5) Staff behaviour — was the clinic/hospital staff helpful?; (6) Fee transparency — were charges explained upfront? Reviews that include these details help other patients make genuinely informed decisions. Avoid vague reviews like "very good doctor" — specific experiences are more valuable.
