How Our Medical Review Process Works
Medical review is one stage of our editorial process. It helps improve the quality of selected articles, but it does not replace an individual consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
Editorial Content Creation
Healthcare content is prepared by the editorial and content team.
Medical Review
Relevant content may be reviewed by a medical professional chosen for the subject and specialty.
Accuracy & Clarity Review
The reviewer assesses medical terminology, accuracy, clarity, and general medical context.
Editorial Updates
Relevant feedback is incorporated into the content by the editorial team.
Review Attribution
The article shows the reviewer's name, specialty, and last reviewed date where applicable.
Medical review does not replace an individual consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. Only your own doctor can advise on your diagnosis and treatment options.

Reviewers are selected according to the medical subject of the article. An article is marked as medically reviewed only when a reviewer with relevant expertise has reviewed it.

Medical Review & Editorial Standards
Clear scope of review
Reviewers check medical terminology, accuracy, clarity, and general medical context within their area of expertise.
Verified reviewer information
Qualifications, affiliations and experience are shown only when confirmed from official sources, such as hospital or institutional profiles.
Dated reviews
Every reviewed article shows the date of its most recent medical review, so readers can judge how current it is.
No endorsement
A reviewer's name on an article does not mean they recommend any treatment, hospital, doctor or healthcare provider mentioned in it.
Separate roles
Articles show the author and the medical reviewer separately, so it is always clear who wrote the content and who reviewed it.
Corrections welcome

Frequently Asked Questions
About our medical reviewers and how review works on this website.
What does a medical reviewer do?
A medical reviewer reads selected healthcare articles related to their specialty and checks them for medical terminology, accuracy, clarity, and general medical context. Their feedback goes to our editorial team, who update the article.
Does medical review mean the article provides medical advice?
No. A medically reviewed article is still general health information. Editorial medical review is not an individual consultation, diagnosis, or treatment recommendation, and it cannot take your personal medical history into account.
How are medical reviewers selected?
Reviewers are selected for their professional medical specialty and its relevance to the content. For example, an IVF article is reviewed by a fertility specialist and a spine article by a spine surgeon.
Does every article have a medical reviewer?
No. Medical review is applied to selected articles. A reviewed article shows a “Medically Reviewed By” box with the reviewer’s name, specialty, and last reviewed date. If an article does not show this box, it has not been medically reviewed.
Can I consult a medical reviewer directly?
The Medical Reviewer Board is not a consultation service, and reviewers cannot answer personal medical questions through this page or through the articles they review. For advice about your own health, please speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
What does “Last reviewed” mean?
It is the date on which a medical reviewer last checked the article. Content may be updated by the editorial team after that date; a new medical review updates the date.
