Our Advisers
Each of our Health.com Health Journeys retains independent (i.e., not employed by us) nationally recognized medical advisers who specialize in the condition covered in that Journey. We consult with these advisers about difficult, complex health issues and ask them to periodically review content. Health.com content is not produced by our advisers. To read more about each adviser, click the Start Here link in each Health Journey (find all Health Journeys from this page).
Accuracy and Review of Content
Hundreds of doctors, experts, patients, and advocates have been interviewed during the production of our original content. Our content is also fact-checked and reviewed periodically for accuracy.
