Infectious disease doctor in Almaty: 80 listings use the category, only 3 call it their main one

Our count as of October 3, 2026

In the 2GIS directory for Almaty, 80 active listings include "Infectious disease doctor" among their categories. Only 3 listings made it their main category, and 2 more listed themselves as hepatologists, doctors who treat the liver and handle some hepatitis cases. For the rest, a completely different sign comes first: massage therapist for 24 listings, dermatologist for 12, trichologist for 9, private dental clinic for 8. Hours are known for 63 listings: 58 open on Saturday, 33 on Sunday, 18 are open around the clock. Having "Infectious disease doctor" as a category does not mean an infectious disease doctor actually sees patients there

How many real infectious disease doctors are in Almaty by main category?

Three listings out of eighty. Search for a doctor using the word "infectious disease doctor" and the results mostly show you neighbors from other categories. The directory lets a listing owner pick several categories, and many pick generously

Here is how the main category breaks down across all 80 listings:

It looks like the schedule of one big clinic where every specialist somehow shares the same office. In reality it is just a list of categories, and each owner filled it in as they saw fit

Why does the category "Infectious disease doctor" show up in a list?

Look at what sits next to it. Almost all 80 listings also carry "Multidisciplinary medical center" (70 listings), "Medical diagnostics" (70), "General practitioner" (69), and "Medical tests" (66). The category gets added to a center's list of services, and it has nothing to do with how many doctors of that kind work there. A center can run tests and have a general practitioner, with no infectious disease doctor on staff, and the directory will not show that

That gives a simple rule: a listing tells you what a center does, and stays silent on who sees patients on your Saturday. Only the front desk can answer that second question

Does an infectious disease doctor work in Almaty on Saturday and Sunday?

Hours are known for 63 of the 80 listings; the rest do not publish them. The picture looks like this:

Almost every listing with hours includes Saturday. Just over half work Sunday. Few open early: on Saturday, 42 listings start seeing patients by 9:00, on Sunday only 28 do

It is easy to mix up two different facts here: "the center is open on Sunday" and "an infectious disease doctor sees patients on Sunday." The hours in a listing apply to the front desk and the center as a whole

Which districts of Almaty should you look in?

Bostandyk District has the most listings, followed by:

If you live in Turksib or Zhetysu District, you have three listings to choose from, and the trip to the center may end up mattering more than the appointment itself. Bostandyk District is lucky in this sense: it has 20 listings

What do the ratings and phone numbers show?

All 80 listings have a rating, averaging 4.14. 15 listings score 4.8 or higher. A phone number is listed for 77 of 80, and that is the main lever: one call tells you more than any number of categories

What should you ask on the phone?

Three questions clear up almost all the uncertainty:

1. Is there an infectious disease doctor or parasitologist on staff, and are they currently seeing patients
2. Which days and hours does that specific doctor work, not the center in general
3. Which tests are done on site, and which ones you need to get done elsewhere

Ask these before you travel, and write down the answers so you don't have to recall them from memory in the taxi. The call takes a minute; crossing Almaty on a day off sometimes takes longer

Which doctors can you book at KAZMED clinic?

KAZMED in Almaty is our partner. The clinic page lists six doctors in this specialty. The first-appointment price comes from the clinic's own price list. Check availability and booking times with the front desk

Four of the six doctors charge 12,600 ₸ for a first appointment, Abdurashitova charges 15,750 ₸. Gataulina's price is not in the list, so ask about it on the call. Two doctors, Astrakhanov and Utepbergenova, hold academic degrees, and Abdurashitova sees patients in three languages

Where can you see all the listings?

All the listings for infectious disease doctors and parasitologists in Almaty are collected on the Infectious disease doctors, Almaty page. It shows hours, district, and phone number; your part is to call and ask the three questions above

What we counted

The source is the 2GIS directory for Almaty, from the ooon.ai database, counted on October 3, 2026.
