A guide to checking care Review desk

Read a review for the question it raises

Separate a person’s account of a visit from a claim that a treatment works. Each needs a different kind of check.

The question to open with

When a review catches your eye, note the part that matters to you. Was it about being heard, the bill or a claimed change in health?

Then turn it into a question for the service. Keep the review beside the answer so the missing detail stays visible.

What supports this review’s claim: a license record, a study or a written bill?

Do not make a personal account carry more than it can.

Match the claim to the check

A claim about the visit

Ask who handles questions, how follow-up works and what happens if the clinician needs an examination in person.

A claim about healing

As of September 2026, no completed trial comparing BPC-157 with a dummy treatment for an injury has reported results.

Ask for the human study that supports the claimed result for your concern.

A seal or badge

The Federal Trade Commission warns that health-site seals and official-looking logos can be faked.

Use a license record to check a license claim.

Read the account, name the claim, then ask for the kind of proof it needs.

Make a note without giving a score

Try these headings on a blank page: the claim, what I asked, the answer, and the record I checked.

Leave a blank when a detail is missing. A gap is a useful next question. It does not need to become a rating.

Open the source drawer
