Frequently Asked Questions

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

How do I find the best doctor in my city in India?

Use DoctorReviews's search to select your speciality and city. Filter results by rating (4.5+), years of experience, consultation fee, and hospital affiliation. Read detailed patient reviews — focus on doctor behaviour, diagnosis accuracy, and wait times. Always verify the doctor's MCI/NMC registration number before booking. Top-rated doctors on DoctorReviews have a minimum of 20 verified reviews.

Are the doctor reviews on DoctorReviews verified?

Yes. Every review is checked by our human moderation team before it appears on the site — usually within 24-48 hours. Reviewers may optionally upload a prescription or consultation bill to earn a ✓ Verified Visit badge (proof that they actually saw the doctor). Doctors cannot pay to remove reviews or boost their rating. This combination — moderation + optional visit proof — makes DoctorReviews India's most trustworthy source of doctor reviews.

What is the consultation fee for specialist doctors in India?

Consultation fees vary significantly: Government hospitals (AIIMS OPD) — ₹30–₹200. Private clinic in metro city — ₹500–₹3,000. Senior specialists at premium hospitals — ₹1,500–₹5,000. Tier-2 cities — generally 30–40% lower than metros. Online/telemedicine consultations — ₹200–₹800. DoctorReviews displays the consultation fee on every doctor profile so you can compare before booking.

Which hospital is best for heart surgery in India?

Top NABH/JCI-accredited hospitals for heart surgery in India: AIIMS Delhi (highest volume, most affordable), Apollo Hospitals (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai — JCI accredited), Medanta The Medicity Gurugram (Dr. Naresh Trehan), Fortis Escorts Heart Institute Delhi, Narayana Health Bangalore (affordable cardiac surgery), and Kokilaben Hospital Mumbai. All have verified patient reviews on DoctorReviews with procedure-specific ratings.

How do I verify if a doctor is registered with MCI/NMC in India?

Visit nmc.org.in (National Medical Commission website) and use the "Indian Medical Register" search. Enter the doctor's name or registration number. DoctorReviews displays each doctor's NMC registration number on their profile — you can cross-check directly on the NMC website. A valid NMC registration confirms the doctor holds a recognized medical degree (MBBS or above) and is legally qualified to practice medicine in India.

What is the best hospital for cancer treatment in India?

Leading cancer hospitals in India: Tata Memorial Hospital Mumbai (largest cancer centre in Asia, government), AIIMS Delhi (Oncology), Apollo Cancer Centres (multiple cities), Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute Delhi, HCG Cancer Centre Bangalore, and Amrita Hospital Kochi. For affordability, government hospitals like Tata Memorial offer world-class treatment at subsidised rates. Compare patient reviews and treatment costs on DoctorReviews.

Can I book an online doctor consultation (telemedicine) in India?

Yes. Telemedicine is legal in India under the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020 (Ministry of Health). Through DoctorReviews, you can book video or phone consultations with verified doctors for follow-ups, prescription renewals, second opinions, and non-emergency issues. Telemedicine rates are typically 30–50% lower than in-person visits. Note: Physical examination is required for first-time consultations for serious conditions.

What should I look for when choosing a doctor in India?

Key factors: (1) NMC/MCI registration — non-negotiable, always verify; (2) Specialisation — ensure the doctor's specialty matches your condition; (3) Experience — minimum 5 years for general issues, 10+ years for complex surgery; (4) Hospital affiliation — NABH-accredited hospitals follow quality standards; (5) Patient reviews — read 10+ reviews focusing on diagnosis accuracy and doctor behaviour; (6) Consultation fee — compare across 2–3 doctors; (7) Waiting time — DoctorReviews reviews often mention average wait time. DoctorReviews displays all of the above on each doctor's profile.

Real Health Questions, Expert Answers

Join 10 lakh+ Indians who get their health questions answered by verified doctors — free, fast, and reliable.

🔴 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✓ Answered by Dr. Verified · 2,841 views
💊 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.

🩺 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.

👶 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✓ Answered by Dr. Verified · 2,017 views
🧠 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✓ Answered by Dr. Verified · 4,882 views
🌡️ 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.

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 a verified, experienced specialist in your city can be overwhelming. DoctorReviews's verified patient review platform helps you compare doctors across 12 specialities in 50+ cities — making healthcare decisions data-driven and 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 and doctor seniority. In Delhi NCR: General Physician ₹300–₹800, Specialist ₹700–₹2,500, Senior Specialist ₹1,500–₹4,000. In Mumbai: 10–20% higher than Delhi. In Tier-2 cities (Jaipur, Nagpur, Lucknow): 30–40% lower than metros. AIIMS OPD: ₹30–₹100 (government rate). Telemedicine: ₹200–₹800 across India. DoctorReviews displays consultation fees on every doctor profile — always confirm the fee before your appointment as it may have changed.

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.
