Keep the uncertainty.

Three distinct kinds of information

Official record

A named council, professional registry or regulator. We state which field was observed; one record does not stand in for every required check.

First-party source

A hospital, practice or professional organization describing its own people or activities. We attribute the statement to that organization.

Secondary source

A directory or publication. A useful starting point, but not independent proof of an outcome or current legal standing.

What publication requires

A named person and a dated editorial publication decision. Luana Micheau confirmed prior review of the restored destination profiles on 8 September 2026. That date records the confirmation, not a new check of every source. Editorial review and credential verification are separate: a profile may be published while field-level checks remain incomplete. Available source findings keep their own dates and attribution. AI-assisted source research is disclosed separately from human editorial review; neither is described as independent clinical review.

What would count as full verification?

Separate official identity, license and specialty evidence, with dated human review. We do not infer this from a publish button, a society logo or a clinic claim. Until the required fields are confirmed, the profile says the check is incomplete.

No quality score and no invented reviews

We publish neither a surgical-skill ranking nor generated patient testimonials. Missing information stays missing. Source observations are dated; an old observation must be rechecked before a decision.

Conduct, corrections and right of reply

An incomplete search is not a clean-conduct finding. Internal research is kept outside public records. Concerns enter private moderation; allegations require appropriate primary evidence and editorial review before any public statement. Request a correction or provide a source.

Independence and funding

Clinicians cannot pay for a higher position, an evidence status or removal of factual findings. Any commercial support is separate from editorial decisions and must be disclosed. The directory is alphabetically ordered. Information for clinics.
