Who Writes & Reviews
Our Content
We think you should know exactly who is behind what you read. This page is an honest account of who writes and edits My Medicine Advisor, how we try to keep our content accurate, and where our limits are.
“I’d rather tell you plainly who I am and how this site is made than dress it up as something it isn’t. Honest beats impressive.”— Sameer Patel | Founder & Editor, My Medicine Advisor
Who Writes & Edits the Content
My Medicine Advisor is a small, independent publication. The content is written and edited by one person — and we’re happy to put a real name to it.
Sameer Patel
Sameer founded My Medicine Advisor and writes and edits its content. He is not a doctor — his background is in banking, and he moved into health publishing because he wanted to make trustworthy medical information easier to understand. To be clear: he doesn’t diagnose, treat, or give medical advice, and nothing on this site should be read that way. What he does is research topics carefully from primary medical sources, write them up in plain English with help from AI tools, edit them, and point readers back to qualified professionals for their own care.
An Honest Note on Medical Review
We want to be straightforward about this, because it matters for how you should read our content.
My Medicine Advisor does not currently have a panel of doctors reviewing each article. Our content is written and edited by Sameer Patel, working from primary medical sources. We don’t think it would be honest to imply otherwise. Because there isn’t a clinician signing off on every page, we’re careful to treat our content as general educational information — not personal medical advice — and to always direct you to a qualified healthcare professional for decisions about your health. If we add qualified medical reviewers in the future, we’ll show clearly and honestly who reviewed what.
So how do we try to keep the content accurate without a review panel? With the things that are genuinely within our control:
We Start From Primary Sources
We base our content on recognised, authoritative sources — like the WHO, CDC, NIH, NHS, and peer-reviewed research on PubMed — rather than on other blogs, and we link to them so you can check for yourself.
A Human Edits Everything
AI helps with drafting, but a person reviews and edits every article before it’s published — and checks the claims against the sources cited. AI is never the final word.
We Stay in Our Lane
We write general educational explainers, not diagnoses or treatment plans. Throughout the site we remind you that what you read isn’t a substitute for your own doctor.
We Fix Mistakes Openly
If something’s wrong, we want to know and we’ll correct it. Reader corrections are genuinely welcome — see our Corrections Policy for how we handle them.
We’re Independent of Advertising
Ads help keep the site free, but they don’t shape what we write. Earning ad revenue around a topic never changes how we cover it.
We Revisit Content
Medical understanding changes. We aim to update key pages as guidance evolves, and we date our content so you can see when it was last reviewed.
Are You a Qualified Clinician?
This is a genuine, open invitation — not a claim that it’s already happening.
We’d Welcome Real Medical Reviewers
If you’re a licensed doctor, pharmacist, dietitian, psychologist, or other healthcare professional and you’d be willing to review content in your area of expertise, we’d love to hear from you. We’re committed to doing this the honest way: any reviewer would be a real, consenting professional, named with their actual credentials, attributed only to the specific content they genuinely reviewed — never a stock photo or an invented persona.
How to Get in Touch
If that’s you, email or reach us through our Contact page. We’re happy to start small — even occasional review of a few articles in your specialty would meaningfully improve what we offer readers, and we’d be glad to credit you properly for it.
Sources We Rely On
These are some of the authoritative, publicly available sources we draw on when researching our content. We link to specific pages within articles wherever we can.
Found a Mistake? Tell Us
We’d genuinely rather hear about an error than not. If something on the site looks inaccurate or out of date, let us know and we’ll look into it.
Report an inaccuracy
Email — if you can, include the page address (URL) and what looked wrong. See our Corrections Policy for how we handle reports. We reply as soon as we reasonably can.
A Real Name. An Honest Process.
