How the site is funded
The site is funded by its independent publisher. It has no advertising sales team, no lead-generation product, and no marketplace that clinics can pay to join. If funding sources change materially, this page will be updated and the change dated.
Medical reviewer independence
Our medical reviewer is compensated on a professional-services basis for time spent reviewing content. Review fees are not contingent on which conclusions are reached, how favorable the content is to any procedure, product, or clinic, or on whether a page is published. The reviewer holds no equity or ownership stake in this site.
Editorial firewall
Editors and writers are prohibited from accepting benefits from parties whose products or services are discussed on the site. Any relevant external affiliation a contributor holds (for example, faculty position, professional society role) is disclosed on their contributor profile.
Outbound links
Links to clinics, laboratories, or manufacturers appear only where necessary to source a claim (for example, citing an accreditation registry) and are not endorsements. Outbound links do not carry affiliate or referral tracking.
Complaints and disclosures
If you believe a page reflects an undisclosed conflict of interest, contact us through the about page. Complaints are reviewed by the editorial team, and — where a clinical claim is in question — by the medical reviewer.
