Editorial policy
Why you can trust what you read here
None of the medical articles on this site carry a "medically reviewed" label; this is a deliberate choice. Below is how the content is produced and which principles are applied.
These are not statements of intent
Most of the rules below are checked by a validator. An article that breaks one cannot be published; the publish button does not work and the rule it broke is shown on screen. For this reason, compliance is not left to choice but enforced technically.
No article claims physician review
In health content that byline is among the heaviest claims you can make, because it can change a patient's treatment decision. These articles were produced by a content pipeline; Dr. Gümüşçü has not yet read and signed off on them individually. Until he does, the byline stays hidden. The mechanism is already built: approving an article switches it on for that article automatically.
No invented figures
Success rates, satisfaction percentages, "this many patients saw this result" — none of it is published. The validation script scans the text for percentage signs and similar patterns and blocks publication if it finds them.
Sources are verified first
Citations come from a closed list: patient-information pages from the NHS, DermNet, the American Academy of Dermatology, MedlinePlus, the World Health Organization and Türkiye's TİTCK. Every address on that list was opened and checked for reachability and content — a third of the initially proposed links turned out to be broken and were dropped.
Topics without sources are not hidden
For some newer procedures no institutional patient-information page exists yet. Rather than invent a source, the gap itself is written: where the evidence stands and what is not known. Not stating uncertainty does not remove it; it only hides it from the reader.
No prices
Price and campaign advertising for health services is prohibited by regulation. But the deeper reason is this: two procedures under the same heading may not be the same thing. Product, quantity, the scope of the examination and whether follow-up is included all vary. Comparing figures makes different things look identical.
No unconsented images or reviews
Patient photographs and patient quotes are health data; publishing them requires written, revocable consent. That is why the testimonials page currently stands empty and the before/after section uses representative imagery.
Content informs, it does not diagnose
The notice at the foot of every article is not a formality: nothing here replaces an examination. These articles aim to help you ask the right question, not to make the decision for you. That is why many of them end with "this is determined by examination".
Errors get corrected
If you find something wrong or out of date in an article, contact the clinic. When a correction is made, the article's date is updated. The field moves, and so does the content; an accurate text today is not guaranteed to stay accurate.
Something you'd like to ask?
