Is this content reviewed by a doctor before it's published?
Yes. Every clinical page on this site is reviewed by William Kel Vasileff, MD, before it goes live.
Dr. Vasileff is an orthopedic surgeon who completed residency in orthopaedic surgery and a fellowship in sports medicine and hip preservation at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan. Pages covering tendon injuries, hip conditions, and athletic injuries reflect that training directly, not a general-practice summary pulled from elsewhere.
Where do the medical facts on this site come from?
From named, checkable sources, not a writer's best guess.
Clinical descriptions on this site are drawn from Dr. Vasileff's own training and practice, from peer-reviewed orthopedic literature, and from recognized specialty organizations such as the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. When a page states a number, a recovery range, or a prevalence figure, the source for that figure is named in the text. If a claim cannot be traced to a source like this, it does not get published.
Does this website replace a visit with a doctor?
No. Nothing on this site is a diagnosis, and no page tells a reader what condition they have.
The purpose of this content is to explain conditions and treatment options clearly enough that a patient can have a more informed conversation with a physician, not to substitute for that conversation. Content on this site is educational and is not medical advice.
Why does this site focus on sports medicine and hip conditions?
Because that is where Dr. Vasileff's training is concentrated, and the content follows the training.
He completed fellowship training in sports medicine and hip preservation at Henry Ford Health System, and his practice centers on tendon injuries, hip injuries, bursitis, and athletic injuries, along with procedures like arthroscopy and platelet-rich plasma treatment. Pages on this site are built around what he actually sees and treats at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, not a generic list of every orthopedic topic.
How often is the information on this site updated?
Clinical pages are reviewed on an ongoing basis, not written once and left alone.
When a treatment guideline, a recovery range, or a source cited on a page changes, the page is updated to match it. If a statement on this site cannot currently be tied to a current source, it is removed rather than left to stand unsupported.
