For Doctors
DocBD is a doctor directory built to help patients find doctor information. Some profiles are created from public or submitted information. If a profile belongs to you, you can claim it so DocBD can review and link it to your doctor account.
Create a doctor account or log in, verify your email, submit your BMDC number and phone number, search for your existing profile, and submit a claim. DocBD reviews the claim before linking the profile to your account.
No. If your profile already exists, please claim the existing profile instead of creating a duplicate.
For a one-time correction, you can use the Update / Removal Request page or contact DocBD. For ongoing updates, dashboard access, and editor-assisted profile changes, you should claim your profile and activate Profile Management.
