About DoctorReviews.in

To make every doctor-patient connection in India safer and more informed. We cross-check every listed doctor against the National Medical Commission (NMC) register, every hospital against its own published accreditation status (NABH/JCI), and every patient review through a human moderation queue.

Our goal: when you choose a doctor through DoctorReviews.in, you have the same information you'd have if a senior physician in your family vetted them for you.

1. NMC verification (doctors). Every doctor listed is cross-checked against the National Medical Commission's online register at nmc.org.in. Where verified, the doctor's profile carries a green ✓ NMC Verified badge. Bios use public-record information only (hospital websites, Padma Awards directorate, professional society directories).
2. Accreditation cross-check (hospitals). NABH and JCI accreditation status comes from the official NABH and JCI databases. We display only the accreditations a hospital has actually been awarded.
3. Human-moderated patient reviews. Every review goes to a moderation queue before publishing; turnaround is typically 24-48 hours. Reviewers may optionally upload a prescription or consultation bill to earn a ✓ Verified Visit badge — the proof file is permanently deleted within 7 days. Spam, defamation, and privacy-breach reviews are rejected.
4. Phone hashing for review integrity. Reviewer phone numbers are stored only as SHA-256 hashes (never plain text). The hash is used to deduplicate and rate-limit (max 3 reviews per number per 24 hours). We do not run OTP at present and do not display the OTP-verified claim.
5. Cited blog content. Trend and news articles cite mainstream press, official government bulletins (IMD, MoHFW, WHO, NHA), and dated sources. Patient-cost guides are based on published hospital websites and reputable data sources. We do not yet have in-house clinical reviewers — see our editorial team page for full disclosure.
6. Content updates. Each article carries a publication date and a "Last updated" date when materially refreshed.

→ We don't accept paid rankings. Doctors and hospitals cannot pay to rank higher or to remove negative reviews.

→ We don't sell patient data. We collect only a phone-number hash (never the raw number) for review deduplication. We do not collect or store reviewer email addresses by default. We never sell user data to third parties.

→ We don't write fake reviews. Every review comes from a real patient submission, moderator-checked before publishing. We never plant reviews. Our review count is currently 0 across the platform — we publish honestly while inviting real submissions.

→ We don't claim non-existent reviewers. We do not list fictitious in-house physicians or fabricated team members. See editorial team for our honest staffing disclosure.

→ We are not a medical service. We do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or provide medical advice. All articles are educational only — see our medical disclaimer.
