How we verify

Everything we report about a provider's credentials comes from a public record we can link to. This page describes how we do that, and — just as importantly — what we don't claim.

What counts as a source

• State medical, nursing, and osteopathic board licensee registries
• State statutes and administrative rules governing scope of practice and medical direction
• Secretary of State business registrations and corporate filings
• Federal agency records and guidance (FDA, FTC)
• Court filings and published enforcement records

Every fact is dated

A license verified today can lapse tomorrow. So we date every record-derived claim — "as of July 2026" — and we re-check them on a schedule. If you are making a decision, confirm current status directly with the issuing board. We link the registry so you can.

We state records; we don't conclude beyond them

We report what a document says and show you the document. We do not infer competence, intent, or quality of care from a record, and we do not characterize a provider beyond what the record supports.

What we do not do

• We do not host patient reviews. There is no way to submit one, and we do not publish user-submitted accounts of care.
• We do not aggregate third-party ratings. We do not store, cache, or blend scores from Google, Yelp, or any other platform. Where we link to those platforms, they are plain links — the rating lives there, not here.
• We do not rate or rank providers. We report verifiable facts and let you weigh them.
• We do not give medical advice.

Corrections

If we've published something inaccurate — or a record we cited has changed — tell us and we will fix it. See corrections.
