How we write and review our articles
Every medical article on FutureClinic is written or reviewed by a licensed U.S. physician, named on the page. Here is how our articles are made, checked and corrected.
The short answer
Every medical article on FutureClinic's blog is written or reviewed by a physician licensed in the U.S. (MD, DO or MBBS), who approves it before it goes live and is named on the page. Doctors' articles start from the doctor's own answers. FutureClinic's articles are checked against their sources and reviewed by a physician.
Key facts
- Only physicians write or review our medical articles: MDs, DOs and MBBS doctors licensed in the U.S., never nurse practitioners or physician assistants.
- A doctor's article starts from the doctor's own answers, in their own words, and the doctor approves it before it is published.
- No company pays to appear on this blog.
Every medical article on FutureClinic's blog is written or reviewed by a physician licensed in the U.S., who approves it before it goes live. Their name is on the page and links to their profile. Only news about FutureClinic as a company, with no medical content, appears under the FutureClinic name alone.
Only physicians
Every doctor on FutureClinic is a physician with an MD, DO or MBBS degree, licensed to practice medicine in the U.S. Before a doctor can see patients on FutureClinic, we verify their credentials and run a background check. Our medical articles are written or reviewed only by these physicians, never by nurse practitioners, physician assistants or anyone without a medical degree.
Articles by our doctors
Doctors on FutureClinic write articles under their own names, and the substance comes from them. They answer questions about a topic in their own words, and AI helps turn those answers into an article. The doctor reviews the article and approves it before it is published under their name.
Articles by FutureClinic
FutureClinic also publishes its own articles, such as how to reach a doctor from your AI app and how our care compares with other services. We write them with the help of AI tools, which we use to research a question, outline the answer and draft the text. People at FutureClinic decide what each article covers, check every fact against its source and edit the draft. Then a physician reviews the article for medical accuracy and agreement with established medical consensus, and approves it before it goes live. Today that physician is Dr. Usama Syed, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and FutureClinic's CEO. His name and the review date appear at the top of each article.
Where the facts come from
- About FutureClinic: our own product and records. Doctor counts and prices come from our live directory, and we update them when they change.
- About other companies: their own public pages, such as pricing pages, help centers and terms of service. Where it matters, such as who treats you, we use their exact words, link the page and give the date we read it.
- About health: established medical guidance, checked by the physician who wrote or reviewed the article.
Comparisons with other services
People compare their options, so we write comparisons. FutureClinic has an obvious interest in how those comparisons turn out, so we hold them to facts we can source. We use each company's own words and prices, show the date we checked them, and say plainly where another service is the better fit. No company pays to appear on this blog.
Keeping articles current
Prices, services and the states we serve change. We re-check our comparisons regularly and show the date each one was checked. The review date on an article changes only when a physician has reviewed the change.
Not medical advice
Our articles explain options in general. They are not medical advice for your situation; for that, a doctor needs to review your case. FutureClinic is not for emergencies. In an emergency, call 911. In a mental health crisis, call or text 988.
