Who is the best doctor in Delhi?

A good doctor’s skill rests on years of training and practice, and on understanding how the body works. But every person’s body works a little differently: the same illness behaves differently in a young person and an old one, in someone with diabetes and someone without, in someone on five medicines and someone on none.

So the right doctor is the one whose training fits your problem, who takes the time to understand you, and whom you can reach again when you need to.

India’s medical ethics rules also do not allow doctors to advertise themselves as better than others. So instead of a name, here is how to choose well.

A physician looks after most adult illness and keeps the whole picture together. You need a specialist as well when a procedure is needed (such as an endoscopy, an angiography, dialysis or an operation), or when an illness stays uncontrolled despite the right treatment. A physician should tell you when, and to whom, and keep looking after the rest.
