Editorial Policy
Last updated: September 7, 2026
Doctor Online Now is committed to publishing clear, useful, and medically responsible health information. This Editorial Policy explains how our educational medical content is created, reviewed, updated, and corrected.
Our Editorial Purpose
Our goal is to help patients understand medical conditions, symptoms, laboratory results, and common healthcare questions in language that is accessible without sacrificing medical accuracy.
Our content is intended for patient education. It does not replace individualized medical assessment, diagnosis, or treatment.
Medical Authors
Medical articles are written or medically reviewed by qualified healthcare professionals where appropriate to the subject.
Our medical team includes Dr. Albana Greca, Family Physician, and Dr. Ruden Cakoni, Endocrinologist.
Author and reviewer information is displayed where appropriate so readers can understand who is responsible for the medical content.
Sources and Evidence
When preparing medical content, we aim to rely on appropriate authoritative sources, which may include clinical guidelines, government and public-health organizations, recognized medical institutions, peer-reviewed research, and established medical references.
Sources are selected according to the subject being discussed. We aim to distinguish established medical knowledge from areas where evidence is limited, evolving, or uncertain.
Medical Review
Content involving diagnosis, treatment, medications, laboratory interpretation, disease management, or other clinically significant subjects may receive additional medical review when appropriate.
Medical review considers whether the information is clinically reasonable, whether important limitations or warning signs have been included, and whether the article could reasonably mislead a patient.
Updates
Medical knowledge and clinical recommendations can change. Important articles may therefore be reviewed and updated when new evidence, guidelines, safety information, or other clinically significant developments make an update necessary.
Where appropriate, pages display publication or modification information.
Corrections
If we identify a factual or medical error, we aim to correct it promptly. Material corrections may also result in additional medical review of the affected content.
Readers who believe they have identified an error can contact us through our Contact Us page.
Editorial Independence
Medical information should be determined by clinical evidence and patient-education needs. Advertising, commercial relationships, or other financial considerations should not determine our medical conclusions.
Artificial Intelligence
Digital and artificial-intelligence tools may be used to assist with research organization, drafting, editing, translation, or technical publishing workflows. Such tools are not presented as physicians and do not replace professional medical judgment. Medical responsibility for published clinical content remains with the identified human author or reviewer where one is named.
Personal Medical Consultations
Our general editorial content is separate from individual online consultations. Recommendations made during a consultation depend on the information provided by the individual patient and should not be generalized to other readers.
For additional limitations concerning online medical information and consultations, read our Medical Disclaimer.
