Editorial Policy

This policy explains how information on Go Surgery is collected, written, reviewed and corrected. It covers directory pages (doctors, hospitals, specialities, cities), treatment and condition guides, FAQs and cost and insurance information.

• Doctor and hospital details come from information supplied by the provider and from public sources.
• We show registration details where available. Where they are not available, the profile says so. See how listings work.
• Numbers such as "doctors listed" are counted from our directory and show how many profiles we hold. They do not measure quality.
• Doctors are listed alphabetically, and hospitals by the number of doctors we list at them. Payment does not change the order.

• Our editorial team writes guides in plain language.
• Each guide is reviewed for medical accuracy by a registered medical practitioner. Our Medical Head is Dr. Suyog Sharad Shetye (MBBS, MS General Surgery; Reg. No. 2010/10/3119, Maharashtra Medical Council).
• Figures such as duration, hospital stay and recovery are typical ranges. They differ from patient to patient, and guides say so.
• Guides explain risks and alternatives. We do not use words like "best", "top", "painless", "guaranteed" or "100% success".
• We do not publish procedure prices. We explain what affects cost and recommend a written estimate.

Some pages are drafted with the help of AI tools and are reviewed by our editorial team before publishing. We do not use AI to create testimonials, reviews, patient stories, or images or voices of doctors or patients. Our symptom and speciality tools, where available, give general information and do not diagnose.

We do not publish sponsored articles or paid doctor profiles, and no provider can pay to change what a guide says or where a listing appears. Patient reviews and ratings are written by patients and checked by our team before they appear; we do not write or buy them, and we do not publish testimonials written by or for a doctor.

Team members who are registered doctors do not promote their own practice through Go Surgery. If they are listed in the directory, they are listed like any other doctor.

• We review guides at least every 12 months and when guidelines change.
• If you find an error, use Claim, correct or remove a profile or the Grievance redressal page. We aim to correct confirmed errors promptly.

Information on Go Surgery is general and does not replace a doctor's advice. Always talk to a qualified doctor about your condition.
