Welcome to Doctor Appointment BD, a healthcare directory designed to help people across Bangladesh find doctors, hospitals, medical specialists, and healthcare services with clear, useful, and reliable information.
We are committed to maintaining accurate, transparent, and responsibly presented healthcare information. Our editorial, verification, and data-management practices are designed to protect users from misleading information while helping healthcare professionals maintain accurate profiles on our platform.
1. Editorial Standards & Medical Content Review
Our health articles, guides, and educational content are developed with a focus on accuracy, clarity, and practical value.
- Research & Preparation: Health content is researched using reliable medical and public-health sources, including government health authorities, recognized international organizations, medical journals, and established clinical references.
- Medical Review: Where appropriate, medically sensitive or clinically focused content is reviewed by qualified healthcare professionals, including BMDC-registered doctors or relevant specialists.
- Fact-Checking: Medical claims, statistics, treatment information, and other clinically significant information are reviewed against reliable and current sources before publication.
- Content Updates: Healthcare knowledge changes over time. We periodically review published content and update information when significant medical guidelines, recommendations, or evidence change.
Our content is intended to provide useful health information and should not replace individualized advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
2. Sources & References
We prioritize authoritative and evidence-based sources when developing healthcare content.
Depending on the subject, our editorial team may refer to:
- Bangladesh government health authorities and official healthcare guidelines
- Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS)
- World Health Organization (WHO)
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Recognized medical associations and professional organizations
- Peer-reviewed medical research and established medical literature
- Standard medical textbooks and clinical references
When appropriate, relevant sources and references are provided within or at the end of an article so readers can understand where important medical information comes from.
3. Directory Data Integrity
Doctor Appointment BD is designed to provide practical and useful information about healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities.
We prioritize:
- Accuracy of doctor and facility information
- Relevant professional and academic credentials
- Current chamber and consultation information
- Clear presentation of specialties and services
- Timely updates and corrections
- Transparency about information that has been verified or provided by healthcare professionals
Because healthcare information can change frequently, we cannot guarantee that every detail will remain accurate at all times. Users should confirm important information, such as appointment availability, consultation fees, chamber hours, and locations, directly with the healthcare provider before visiting.
4. Doctor Profile Submission & Verification
Doctor profiles may be submitted or updated by the doctor, an authorized representative, medical assistant, chamber staff, hospital or clinic representative, or our internal team based on available professional information.
Where verification is applicable, our team may review information such as:
- Doctor’s name and professional designation
- Academic qualifications
- Medical specialty
- Professional experience
- Workplace, hospital, clinic, or chamber information
- Professional registration information, including BMDC registration where applicable
Verification status reflects the information and documentation available to us at the time of review. A verified profile does not represent an endorsement of a doctor or guarantee of treatment outcomes.
5. Profile Updates & Data Maintenance
Doctor and healthcare facility information can change regularly, including chamber locations, visiting hours, consultation fees, contact numbers, and appointment arrangements.
To improve data accuracy, Doctor Appointment BD uses multiple methods to maintain directory information, including:
- Direct communication with doctors and their authorized representatives
- Information submitted through profile owners
- Routine data review by our internal team
- User-submitted corrections and reports
- Cross-checking information against available reliable sources
Doctors and authorized representatives can contact us to request changes or corrections to their profiles.
6. Community Reporting & Corrections
We encourage patients, healthcare professionals, clinics, hospitals, and other users to report inaccurate or outdated information.
If you notice an incorrect:
- Doctor name or qualification
- Specialty
- Chamber address
- Visiting schedule
- Consultation fee
- Contact information
- Hospital or clinic information
- Other important profile details
you can contact our team through our official contact channels.
Reported information is reviewed by our team, and where necessary, we may contact the relevant healthcare professional, clinic, hospital, or authorized representative before making an update.
We aim to process legitimate corrections as quickly as reasonably possible, although verification time may vary depending on the nature and complexity of the information.
7. Advertising, Sponsored Listings & Editorial Independence
Doctor Appointment BD may offer advertising, sponsored listings, promotional placements, and other commercial services to support the operation and development of the platform.
We maintain a clear distinction between commercial activities and editorial or verification decisions.
- Sponsored placements are identified where applicable.
- Payment or sponsorship does not guarantee verification of professional credentials.
- Commercial relationships do not determine whether information is factually accurate.
- Advertising or sponsorship does not constitute an endorsement of a doctor, hospital, medical product, treatment, or healthcare service.
- We do not allow commercial interests to override legitimate data corrections or editorial standards.
Search and directory results may be influenced by factors such as relevance, location, profile completeness, availability of information, and platform features. Commercial participation does not automatically guarantee a higher position in organic search results.
8. User Reviews & Ratings
Doctor Appointment BD may allow users to submit reviews and ratings based on their experiences with healthcare professionals or services.
To maintain the integrity of the review system:
- Reviews may be moderated before or after publication.
- Spam, promotional content, abusive language, personal attacks, fabricated content, and clearly irrelevant submissions may be removed.
- Reviews suspected of being fraudulent, manipulated, paid, or artificially generated may be investigated and removed.
- Reviews should describe the user’s own experience rather than make unsupported allegations about a doctor or healthcare professional.
- We do not remove legitimate negative feedback simply because it is unfavorable to a healthcare professional.
- Reviews that violate our policies or appear to be submitted with malicious intent may be removed following appropriate review.
Doctors and healthcare professionals may report reviews that they believe violate these standards. Our team may request additional information when necessary to assess a report.
User reviews represent the opinions and experiences of individual users and do not necessarily represent the views of Doctor Appointment BD.
9. Transparency & Editorial Responsibility
We recognize that healthcare information can directly affect people’s decisions and wellbeing. For this reason, we aim to distinguish between:
- Editorial and educational content
- Directory information
- Information provided by healthcare professionals
- User-generated reviews and ratings
- Sponsored or promotional content
We continuously work to improve the quality, accuracy, and usefulness of information available on Doctor Appointment BD. When we identify significant errors or outdated information, we take reasonable steps to correct or update it.
