Editorial policy

Everything on this site — blog posts, condition pages, FAQs, and patient education — follows the standards below. If you spot a factual error, please tell us. We issue corrections quickly and publicly.

Who writes our content

All clinical content is written or edited by Bidwell Cranage, APRN, FNP-C, AANP board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, with 19 years of clinical experience. Where another provider contributes, they are named and credentialed on the byline.

We do not use ghostwritten content from freelance writers without clinical credentials. We do not publish AI-generated articles without human clinician authorship and review.

What qualifications our reviewers hold

Every clinical article carries a named byline linking to a provider bio page listing that provider's:

Full name and credentials (APRN, FNP-C, etc.)
Board certification (AANP)
State licenses (publicly verifiable via each state's board of nursing)
Years of clinical experience and areas of focus

Review cadence

Every clinical article is reviewed at least once every 12 months, or sooner if guidelines change materially. When we review, we update the "Last reviewed" date at the bottom of the article. We do not re-date content we haven't re-reviewed.

How we source

Clinical claims in our content are sourced from:

U.S. government agencies — CDC, NIH, FDA, HHS
Professional society guidelines — IDSA (infectious disease), AAFP (family medicine), AUA (urology), AAD (dermatology), ACOG (women's health), AANP (nurse practitioners)
Peer-reviewed journals — JAMA, NEJM, Lancet, PubMed-indexed publications
Current FDA prescribing information — DailyMed for drug-specific content

We cite sources inline with the relevant claim. We do not cite blogs, content farms, or aggregator sites.

What we don't do

We don't accept paid placements, sponsored content, or affiliate partnerships for clinical content.
We don't cherry-pick studies to support predetermined conclusions.
We don't fabricate patient testimonials, quotes, or statistics.
We don't publish AI-only content.
We don't pretend to be what we're not — we're a 2-provider telehealth practice, not a research institution or a hospital system.

Correction policy

If we publish something factually wrong, we:

Correct the error as soon as we confirm it
Add a dated correction note at the bottom of the article explaining what was wrong and what we changed
Do not silently edit away errors after publication

To report an error, contact us.

Commercial disclosure

Bidwell Health LLC generates revenue from $45 flat-fee patient visits. We do not sell medication, we do not receive kickbacks from pharmacies or drug manufacturers, and we do not accept advertising on this site. Where our content discusses competitors (Hims, Ro, Wisp, etc.), we disclose the competitive relationship and aim for honesty over marketing.

Feedback

This policy evolves. If you think we're falling short — or if there's something missing from this page you'd like to see — tell us.
