How we selected these doctors
A doctor appears on this page when their listed specialty maps to Paediatric Cardiology and their profile names heart surgery (or a matching term) among the procedures they perform. Doctors are not ranked by a proprietary "best" score — the order follows years of listed experience (highest first), the same field shown on each doctor's profile. This page does not display aggregate star ratings.

How GAF Healthcare selects doctors
Doctors may be included when they meet relevant criteria for heart surgery. This is a transparent listing methodology, not a clinical recommendation or paid ranking:
Relevant specialty
paediatric cardiology expertise is mapped from the doctor's listed specialty and profile information.
Procedure relevance
heart surgery is listed among the doctor's procedures or areas of expertise, using matching terms where appropriate.
Hospital affiliation
The doctor is currently affiliated with a recognised hospital in the GAF directory. Hospital details and availability can change, so confirm them before booking.
Professional experience
Experience is displayed from the doctor's available professional profile and is used as the ordering signal when the page lists doctors.
Data verification
Doctor and hospital information is checked against the records available to GAF and updated when new information is supplied. It is not a substitute for confirming credentials directly.
No paid ranking
Being featured does not automatically mean the doctor is ranked number one. GAF does not sell position on this page.
