Doctor Ranking Methodology 

Doctor Ranking Methodology  - Featured Image

At Khulna Doctor Finder, our mission is to help patients discover reliable and relevant medical professionals in Khulna through transparent, data-driven insights. All doctors listed on our platform are qualified healthcare providers. However, some doctors appear higher in ranking lists such as “Top Doctors in Khulna” based on a structured ranking methodology.

This page explains how doctor rankings are calculated, what they mean, and how patients should use them responsibly.


Important Note About Rankings

Being ranked #1 or higher on Khulna Doctor Finder does not mean a doctor is objectively the “best” for every patient. Medical needs vary based on condition, budget, location, urgency, and personal preferences.

Our rankings reflect platform-based performance and engagement signals, not personal medical endorsements.

We strongly encourage patients to:

  • Conduct their own research
  • Verify credentials independently
  • Consult directly with doctors before making healthcare decisions

Core Principles of Our Ranking System

Our doctor ranking system is built on four key principles:

  1. Transparency – Rankings are based on measurable, explainable factors
  2. Fairness – No doctor is ranked solely due to payment or sponsorship
  3. User-Centric Signals – Patient interest and engagement matter
  4. Continuous Improvement – Rankings update dynamically as data changes

Key Factors Used in Doctor Ranking

Doctor positions on Khulna Doctor Finder are determined by a combination of quantitative data, user behavior, and AI-assisted evaluation models.

1. Platform Popularity & Profile Views

Doctors who receive higher visibility and interest from users may rank higher.
This includes:

  • Total profile views
  • Frequency of appearance in searches
  • Click-through rates from listings

Higher patient interest often signals relevance and trust.


2. Patient Reviews & Ratings

Verified and genuine patient feedback plays a critical role, including:

  • Overall rating scores
  • Review volume
  • Review consistency over time

We monitor reviews to prevent spam, fake ratings, or manipulation.


3. User Engagement Signals

Engagement reflects how users interact with a doctor’s profile:

  • Shares and bookmarks
  • Time spent on profile
  • Contact button interactions

Strong engagement suggests higher patient confidence and interest.


4. Profile Completeness & Accuracy

Doctors with complete, up-to-date, and well-structured profiles may rank higher.

This includes:

  • Verified qualifications
  • Specialization details
  • Chamber address and visiting hours
  • Contact information

Incomplete or outdated profiles may negatively impact ranking.


5. Specialty Relevance & Search Matching

Rankings adjust dynamically based on:

  • User search intent (e.g., “Cardiologist in Khulna”)
  • Specialty relevance
  • Location proximity

A doctor may rank high in one specialty search but lower in another.


6. AI-Based Quality & Trust Signals

We use AI-assisted models to analyze patterns such as:

  • Content consistency
  • Abnormal engagement behavior
  • Review credibility signals

These systems help maintain fairness and reduce manipulation.


7. Activity & Responsiveness (Where Available)

Doctors or clinics that:

  • Update information regularly
  • Respond to patient inquiries (if enabled)

may receive a slight ranking advantage.


What Rankings Do NOT Mean

To ensure clarity, doctor rankings on Khulna Doctor Finder:

  • Are not medical endorsements
  • Do not guarantee treatment outcomes
  • Do not replace professional medical judgment
  • Are not based on personal bias

Ranking positions may change over time as new data becomes available.


Sponsored Listings & Advertising Transparency

Some doctors or healthcare providers may appear in clearly labeled sponsored sections.

Important clarifications:

  • Sponsored listings are always marked
  • Sponsorship does not directly influence organic rankings
  • Editorial and ranking systems remain independent

How Often Rankings Are Updated

Doctor rankings are dynamic, not fixed.

Updates may occur due to:

  • New patient reviews
  • Changes in engagement data
  • Profile updates
  • AI quality re-evaluations

This ensures rankings remain relevant and current.


Responsibility of Patients

Khulna Doctor Finder is an information and discovery platform, not a healthcare provider.

Patients are responsible for:

  • Verifying doctor credentials
  • Confirming chamber timings
  • Discussing risks, costs, and treatment plans directly

Always seek professional medical advice before starting any treatment.


Our Commitment to Ethical Healthcare Information

We are committed to:

  • Accuracy and neutrality
  • Patient safety and awareness
  • Ethical data use
  • Continuous platform improvement

If you believe a doctor profile contains incorrect information or violates our policies, please contact us for review.


Final Disclaimer

All doctors listed on Khulna Doctor Finder are respected professionals. Rankings are generated using platform-based signals and AI-assisted analysis and should be used only as a reference, not as the sole basis for choosing a healthcare provider.

Your health decisions should always be made with care, research, and professional consultation.
