Editorial policy
What we publish
Three kinds of thing: statistics computed from the records we hold, short explanations of what a procedure physically involves, and review text as patients originally wrote it. Every statistic carries the number of records behind it, so you can see whether a figure came from 6 cases or 600. Explanations are written by our editorial team from published clinical literature, not from clinic marketing material.
What we do not publish
Copy supplied by clinics is not published. Promotional phrasing — "the best", "number one", "guaranteed results" — is deleted rather than rewritten, because rewriting it would make it our sentence. We do not state whether a procedure works, how long any effect lasts, or whether it is safe for you; those are answers for the doctor who examines you. We also publish no clinic ranking, because an order we invented would carry more weight than the underlying data can support.
Why some numbers are missing
When a figure would rest on fewer than five records, we leave the field empty and mark the data as insufficient. A median price built from two receipts is not a price, and "88% satisfaction" derived from three reviews is not a satisfaction rate. Pages therefore differ from one another: some carry eight statistics, some carry three. That difference describes the state of the data, not a shortcut in the page.
This site has no physician reviewer
No doctor reviews, approves or signs off anything here. The common practice in this market is to list physician names with no working relationship behind them; we do not do that, and we write plainly that there is no reviewer. It means everything here is reading you do before a consultation, never a replacement for one — and if your treating doctor contradicts this site, the doctor is right and we are wrong.
Reporting an error
Send the URL and the problem to hello@medisou.com. Factual errors — a price, a clinic name, an address, a mistranslated procedure name — are fixed at the next rebuild, and the page update date moves with the fix. If a review on this site is yours, or you are the person in a before/after photo, the privacy page explains how to have it taken down.
