We collect information through clinic websites, patient testimonials, direct communication with clinics, and analysis of publicly available protocols and pricing.
All information is verified through multiple sources and cross-referenced against industry standards and peer-reviewed medical literature.
Each clinic is scored independently across all dimensions using our standardized criteria, ensuring consistent and objective evaluations.
Clinic evaluations are regularly updated as new information becomes available, protocols change, or patient feedback indicates shifts in quality.
