Editorial Policy

Our health writers and editors research and draft every article. We’re adding medical review by licensed doctors, guide by guide.

• Each article names its writer at the top of the page, next to the date it was last updated. When a doctor has reviewed it, their name and the review date appear there too.
• Doctors on our platform sometimes write articles themselves. Those articles are published on the doctor’s own profile and clearly credited to them.
• When a clinic supplies text, such as a doctor’s biography, our editors rewrite and fact-check it before publication. We remove claims that can’t be verified.

No. Clinics and doctors on our platform don’t write, edit or approve our articles. Our editorial team decides independently what we cover and how we cover it.

• Biographical or clinic-supplied text is edited by our team before publication, the same as any other source material.
• Coordinators are paid the same way regardless of which verified clinic a patient chooses, so there is no financial incentive to steer you toward one over another.

Medical facts on our pages come from peer-reviewed research and established medical and public health organizations. Clinic marketing material and advertising are never used as a source for a medical claim.

1. We cite peer-reviewed journals and guidance from recognized bodies, including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).
2. Where an article cites a specific source, it is listed with the title, the publisher and a link at the end of the page.
3. Prices shown on the site come from two sources: prices that clinics publish, and prices that verified clinics in our network share with us. For each treatment and country, we show the median price for the treatment only, in US dollars with the relevant unit (such as per graft) and the month we last checked it. These prices are estimates, not binding offers. Your coordinator gives you a personal, written quote before any booking, and How we price explains our method.
4. We present risks alongside benefits for every procedure. We never describe a single doctor, clinic or treatment as the right choice for everyone, and we don’t promise results.
5. Medical decisions always belong to you and your doctor. Our articles are written to help you prepare better questions for that conversation, not to replace it.

Every article displays the date it was last updated. As a rule, our editorial team reviews each published article at least once every three months. We update sooner whenever one of our sources changes, when clinic pricing changes, or when a reader reports something that looks wrong.

When we update an article, an editor checks the changes against our sources, and the “last updated” date at the top of the page changes to reflect the edit.

If something on Hollywood Patient Care looks wrong, outdated or unclear, we want to know. Message your coordinator or email our editorial team directly, and tell us which page and which claim you are questioning.

An editor reviews every report we receive. When a correction is needed, we fix the page, note the change internally and update the “last updated” date — we don’t quietly dismiss a reported error without checking it first.
