How We Create Content

1

Clinical Experience

All content is based on Dr. Krishnan's direct clinical experience treating thousands of patients with neurological and spinal conditions. Real-world patient outcomes inform every piece of advice.

2

Evidence-Based Medicine

Every medical statement is supported by current peer-reviewed research, clinical guidelines from professional organizations (AANS, CNS, WFNS), and established medical literature.

3

Medical Review Process

Dr. Krishnan personally reviews all medical content before publication and updates existing content regularly to reflect current clinical guidelines and treatment protocols. Each page displays the date of last medical review.

4

Patient-Centered Language

While maintaining medical accuracy, we translate complex neurosurgical concepts into clear, accessible language that empowers patients to make informed decisions about their care.

5

Regular Updates

Medical knowledge evolves constantly. We commit to reviewing and updating our content at least annually, or more frequently when significant new research or treatment guidelines are published.

Why We Create Content

Our primary goal is to help and inform patients, not simply to attract them. We believe that:

  • ✓Informed patients make better healthcare decisions
  • ✓Clear, accurate information reduces anxiety and uncertainty
  • ✓Patients have the right to understand their conditions and treatment options
  • ✓Education empowers patients to participate actively in their care

We avoid promotional, alarmist, or exaggerated language. Instead, we provide balanced, evidence-based information that reflects the realities of neurosurgical practice.
