Questions about the guide
Does the guide replace a visit to the doctor?
No. The articles give you good information, but they’re not a diagnosis. If you have symptoms or you’re not sure, come see us – that’s what we’re here for.
How often are new articles published?
Usually once or twice a month – whenever a topic keeps coming up with patients.
Can I suggest a topic?
Yes, please. Send me your idea through the contact form – the best articles start with real patient questions.
How reliable is the content?
Every article is based on current medical guidelines and research, and I check each one myself. Where the proof is weak, I say so.
May I share the articles?
Please do – share them with family and friends. Health knowledge works best when it’s passed on.
