About DoctorReviews.in

India has 1.3 million registered doctors and 70,000+ hospitals. Most patients still pick a doctor based on a Google search or a friend's recommendation — without any way to verify credentials, see real patient experiences, or compare options. DoctorReviews.in exists to fix that.

Our Mission

To make every doctor-patient connection in India safer and more informed. We verify every doctor against the National Medical Commission (NMC) register, every hospital against NABH and JCI accreditation databases, and every patient review through OTP confirmation.

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.

Our Verification Methodology

  1. NMC verification (doctors). Every doctor listed is cross-checked against the National Medical Commission's official register at nmc.org.in. We display the registration number, qualification, and registration year — exactly as in NMC records.
  2. NABH / JCI accreditation (hospitals). Hospital quality ratings come from the official NABH and Joint Commission International databases. Accreditation status is updated quarterly.
  3. OTP-verified patient reviews. Reviewers must confirm via SMS OTP that they consulted the doctor. Anonymous and unverified reviews are rejected. Suspicious patterns (e.g., 50 reviews from one IP) trigger automatic removal.
  4. Medical content reviewed by physicians. Articles about treatments, costs, and conditions are reviewed by Dr. Anjali Sharma (MD Internal Medicine) and specialty consultants before publication. See our editorial team.
  5. Quarterly content refresh. Treatment costs, accreditation data, and NMC verification rules are reviewed every 90 days. Last refresh: May 14, 2026.

What We Don't Do

We don't accept paid rankings. Doctors and hospitals cannot pay to rank higher. Our ranking algorithm uses verified review counts, average rating, and accreditation status only.

We don't sell patient data. Reviewer phone numbers and email addresses are stored encrypted, used only for OTP verification, and never sold to third parties.

We don't write fake reviews. Every review on this site comes from a real OTP-verified patient. We never plant reviews to boost or harm any doctor.

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.

Affiliate & Commercial Disclosure

DoctorReviews.in does not currently accept advertising or affiliate commissions. The platform is funded by founder investment with the goal of becoming a sustainable reader-supported medical information service.

If we add any commercial partnerships in the future (e.g., teleconsultation booking, lab tests), they will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Partner" and never affect ranking algorithms or content recommendations.
