At CTGDoctors, our goal is to help patients in the Chittagong division discover reliable and relevant medical professionals through transparent, data-driven insights. All doctors listed on our platform are qualified healthcare providers. However, some doctors may appear higher in lists such as “Top Doctors in Chittagong” based on a structured and continuously evolving ranking methodology.
This page explains how doctor rankings are calculated, what they represent, and how patients should use them responsibly.
Important Note About Rankings
A higher ranking position (such as #1) on CTGDoctors does not mean a doctor is objectively the “best” for every patient. Medical needs vary depending on condition, urgency, location, affordability, and personal preferences.
Our rankings reflect platform-based performance and engagement signals, not personal medical endorsements or guarantees.
We strongly encourage patients to:
- Conduct independent research
- Verify medical credentials where necessary
- Consult directly with doctors before making healthcare decisions
Core Principles of Our Ranking System
Our doctor ranking system is guided by four key principles:
- Transparency – Rankings are based on measurable and explainable factors
- Fairness – No doctor ranks higher solely due to payment or sponsorship
- User-Centric Signals – Patient interest and engagement are prioritized
- Continuous Improvement – Rankings update dynamically as data changes
Key Factors Used in Doctor Ranking
Doctor positions on CTGDoctors are determined using a combination of quantitative data, user behavior, and AI-assisted evaluation models.
1. Platform Popularity & Profile Views
Doctors who receive higher interest from users may rank higher. This includes:
- Total profile views
- Frequency of appearance in search results
- Click-through rates from listings
Higher patient interest often signals relevance and visibility.
2. Patient Reviews & Ratings
Verified and genuine patient feedback plays an important role, including:
- Overall rating scores
- Number of reviews
- Consistency of feedback over time
We actively monitor reviews to reduce spam, fake ratings, or manipulation.
3. User Engagement Signals
User interaction with doctor profiles helps indicate patient interest, such as:
- Profile shares and bookmarks
- Time spent on profile pages

Stronger engagement may positively influence ranking.

Doctors with complete, accurate, and up-to-date profiles may receive better visibility. This includes:
- Verified qualifications

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 Chittagong”)
- Specialty relevance
- Location proximity
A doctor may rank higher for one specialty search and lower for another.
6. AI-Based Quality & Trust Signals
CTGDoctors uses AI-assisted systems to analyze patterns such as:
- Content consistency
- Abnormal engagement behavior

These signals help maintain fairness and reduce manipulation.
