Editorial Process

How We Create Trusted Health Content

At Dr. Good Deed, our mission is to deliver medical information that is rigorous, transparent, and genuinely helpful. We exist because too much health content online is confusing, inaccurate, or driven by clicks, not care. Our editorial process sets a high standard of integrity so that every word you read serves your best health interest.

1. What We Stand For

Our content isn’t generated for traffic. It’s created with purpose:

We operate by a defined set of non-negotiable principles:

  • Medical accuracy over popularity: Content is driven by evidence and clinical consensus, not trends or algorithms.
  • Clarity without oversimplification: Complex health topics are explained clearly, without sacrificing scientific integrity.
  • Ethical responsibility to readers: We avoid fear-based messaging, exaggerated claims, and unverified advice.
  • Human-centered perspective: Health information is delivered with context, empathy, and real-world relevance.

This approach is shaped by our founders, Dr. Chandril Chugh and Dr. Nivedita Pandey, whose clinical and public-health backgrounds demand rigor, accountability, and compassion.

We envisioned a site where healthcare information is both expert-led and patient-centered, bridging the gap between clinical science and real life. 

2. Who Creates Our Content

Every piece of content on Dr. Good Deed is authored or reviewed by qualified health professionals:

✦ Medical Professionals

Licensed doctors, specialists, researchers, and practitioners with clinical experience contribute insights rooted in real practice.

✦ Medical Writers With Editorial Oversight

Experienced health writers craft drafts that are medically sound, structurally clear, and reader-friendly, always under supervision by clinicians.

✦ Expert Review Board

Before publication, each article goes through a medical integrity check by a second clinician to confirm:

  • factual accuracy
  • appropriate use of terminology
  • alignment with current research and clinical standards

This layered system stops surface-level information from passing as medical guidance.

3. How We Evaluate and Fact-Check Content

We apply a structured, evidence-forward process:

1. Topic Selection

Every topic is chosen because it’s relevant, common, or potentially misunderstood. not because it’s trending.

2. Evidence First

Authors begin with a review of peer-reviewed studies, clinical guidelines, and reputable research institutions. No claim is published without sourcing verifiable evidence.

3. Drafting With Context

Medical concepts are translated into reader-friendly language, but never at the expense of accuracy.

4. Clinical Review

Licensed clinicians vet the draft to ensure it:

  • reflects current medical understanding
  • doesn’t overstate benefits or underplay risks
  • uses balanced, unbiased language

5. Final Editorial Approval

A senior editor checks for clarity, structure, and alignment with our editorial values before publication.

This review sequence is mandatory for every article, webinar summary, and health guide we publish.

4. Our Standards for Reliability

We hold our work to objective quality benchmarks:

  • Evidence-Based: Claims must be backed by scientific consensus or credible clinical research.
  • Current: Medical information changes rapidly; updates are made when evidence evolves.
  • Transparent: Sources, contributor credentials, and review history are clear or available on request.
  • Non-Commercial: We do not allow content that prioritizes products, gimmicks, or sponsored claims over health outcomes.

These standards make Dr. Good Deed a resource you can trust, not just another health blog.

5. Guest Contributions: What We Accept

We welcome expert voices who share our commitment to evidence and clarity. However:

  • Articles must be original and unpublished elsewhere.
  • Contributors need verifiable expertise in their topic area.
  • Submissions are reviewed by our editorial team and medical reviewers.
  • We maintain the right to edit for accuracy, clarity, and compliance with our standards.

This policy ensures that guest content upholds the same quality as content written by our in-house team.

6. Your Safety First

Medical information influences decisions about care, lifestyle, and well-being. We never:

  • offer diagnosis or personalized treatment plans online
  • oversell interventions
  • publish unverified remedies

If an article references symptoms or treatments, it always comes with a reminder: talk to a qualified healthcare provider about your specific condition.

7. Continuous Improvement

We regularly audit published content to:

  • correct outdated information
  • enhance clarity
  • integrate new evidence
  • refine educational value

Your feedback (through comments, questions, or corrections) is part of this improvement cycle.

8. Commitment to You

Dr. Good Deed exists because healthcare should care. Our editorial process reflects an unwavering commitment to accuracy, transparency, and practicality. Every article you read is the result of thoughtful scrutiny, clinical insight, and a clear mission: help people make informed, safe health decisions.
