Anil Tangotra, 53, portrayed himself as an eligible young bachelor and used chat-up lines and poetry to seduce two women on Shaadi.com.
The "sexual predator" told a string of lies to persuade the women, both in their early 30s, back to his home in Ilford, Essex, where he spiked their food and drink before subjecting them to brutal attacks.
advertisementA mature student from India told Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London that she was treated "like a call girl" during a night of "pain and devastation".
The other woman, a teacher, wept as she described waking from a drug-induced coma to find the married GP trying to have sex with her.
A sedative found in her bloodstream matched one found at Tangotra's home after his arrest.
Tangotra, who had a GP practice in Plaistow, east London, insisted that any sexual contact had been instigated by the women.
He was convicted of raping the student in April 2006, attempted rape and causing her to engage in sexual activity.
He was found guilty of attempting to rape the second woman in May last year, sexual assault and "assaulting her by penetration".
The court heard that in between the attacks another jury had acquitted the father of two for the first assault but could not reach verdicts on a string of other offences.
While on bail awaiting a retrial Tangotra used the same online marriage bureau to strike again.
The GP, who is going through a divorce, showed no reaction as Judge William Kennedy told him: "You were engaged in caring for the public in general practice.
"You were also a sexual predator determined to have sexual intercourse with young Indian women by whatever seduction, trickery or force became necessary.
"Had the jury not been sure of your guilt upon the evidence, the reputation of each woman within her community would have been utterly and irrevocably destroyed."
Det Sgt Adam Lowe said outside court that he was "delighted" by the sentence but believed more victims had been prevented from coming forward by fear of social stigma.
The General Medical Council has barred Tangotra from practising and he could be struck off the register.
