Medical Review Program
How clinical accuracy will be handled on Fertility Clinic Finder — and what review looks like today.
Where We Are Today
We do not yet have named clinicians reviewing our content. That is the honest state of this site, and we think you deserve to know. No article on Fertility Clinic Finder carries the label "Medically reviewed by" or "Clinically reviewed by" today, and the codebase that publishes articles is built to refuse those labels until a verified medical credential is on file for the reviewer.
What you will see instead is the label "Editorially reviewed by Fertility Clinic Finder editorial team" — meaning a human reviewed the piece against peer-reviewed research, CDC and SART data, and ASRM practice guidelines before it went live. That is fact-checking, not clinical review.
Our Editorial Fact-Checking Process
- Claims are checked against peer-reviewed journals (e.g. Fertility and Sterility, Human Reproduction), CDC ART Surveillance data, SART clinic-level data, and ASRM/ACOG practice guidelines.
- Articles covering treatment protocols, medication, or success rates carry explicit caveats about variability and individual prognosis.
- Source citations are listed at the bottom of every article.
- Any article that cannot be substantiated against a reputable source is not published.
What the Medical Review Program Will Add
We are recruiting board-certified reproductive endocrinologists to review clinical content before publication. When that review exists for an article, the byline will show "Medically reviewed by {Name}, {Credentials}" with a review date and a linked reviewer profile — not a generic "Board" or "panel." If no such reviewer has looked at an article, it will continue to carry the editorial label.
If you are a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, fertility specialist, or OB/GYN with fertility expertise and are interested in joining this program, contact [email protected].
Directory Data (Clinic Listings)
Clinic listings in our directory are not medically reviewed. Listing data comes from Google Places, the CDC ART Surveillance System, state medical board registries, and claimed owner submissions — each clearly labeled in our methodology. CDC success rates are sourced, not re-verified: we display the figures exactly as reported to the CDC, with the applicable reporting year noted on every clinic profile.
Independence
If and when named clinicians review our content, they will be compensated for their time and will have no financial relationship with any clinic listed in our directory. Reviewer compensation will not be tied to article conclusions, treatment recommendations, or clinic ratings. Our Editorial Policy governs how content is created and reviewed.
