Editorial & Medical Review Policy
Mayflower Clinic publishes health information to help patients understand procedures, alternatives, recovery, limitations and potential risks before consultation. This policy explains how we aim to keep that information accurate, transparent, clinically responsible and clearly separated from individual medical advice.
Our central rule:
a page should not display a new “medically reviewed” date simply
because wording, formatting or design was changed. A medical-review
date should represent a genuine human review of the relevant clinical
information.
Health information requires accountable human review.
Evidence · clinical context · limitations · correction
Human Review
Clinical accountability remains with qualified professionals
Evidence First
Sources should support the claim actually being made
No Fabrication
No invented citations, reviews or medical credentials
Corrections
Material errors should be corrected when identified
Page Guide
How Mayflower Clinic approaches health information
The policy applies to procedure pages, treatment hubs, patient guides, doctor-authored educational content and other clinical information published on cosmeticsurgerynagpur.com.
Evidence check
Important clinical claims should be supported by an appropriate source or clearly identified as clinical perspective.
Medical review
Relevant clinical information is intended to undergo accountable human medical review before it is represented as medically reviewed.
Update & correction
Material factual or clinical issues should be corrected rather than left online merely to preserve old wording.
Editorial Principle
Useful medical content must include uncertainty, not hide it.
“A patient deserves to understand not only what a treatment may help, but also what it cannot reliably achieve, how recovery varies and what complications should be considered.”Dr. Pawan Shahane, M.Ch. Plastic Surgery · Mayflower Clinic, Nagpur
Editorial Standards
What every clinical page should aim to do
1
Answer the patient’s actual question
Pages should address a clear patient need rather than creating multiple near-duplicate pages simply to target keyword variations.
2
Use plain medical language
Necessary terminology should be explained. Content should educate, not overwhelm or deliberately frighten readers.
3
Describe candidacy carefully
Website information may explain general indications but should not diagnose an individual visitor or declare someone suitable for surgery online.
4
Explain limitations
Readers should be told what treatment cannot reliably accomplish, not merely what improvement is hoped for.
5
Discuss risks and recovery
Important complications, expected recovery, aftercare and warning signs should not be omitted merely because they are less promotional.
6
Separate evidence from opinion
Dr. Shahane’s clinical approach or practice protocol may be useful, but it should be identified as clinical perspective rather than portrayed as universal scientific consensus.
Evidence Hierarchy
Which sources receive priority?
The appropriate evidence depends on the question, but this hierarchy guides selection when a medical claim needs external support.
1
Indian regulator or government guidance
Used where applicable to Indian professional practice, patient-safety or public-health requirements.
2
Recognized professional-society guidance
Relevant specialty guidance, professional recommendations and consensus documents may help frame accepted practice.
3
Systematic reviews, consensus statements & high-quality research
Higher-level peer-reviewed evidence is preferred when discussing effectiveness, complications, comparisons or evolving techniques.
4
Standard medical textbooks
Textbooks may be used for stable anatomy, basic surgical principles and established background information.
5
Clearly labelled clinical perspective
Dr. Shahane’s personal surgical approach or clinic protocol may be described when useful, provided it is clearly identified as clinical perspective rather than stronger external evidence.
Citation Integrity
A citation is useful only when it actually supports the statement.
We aim to
- Read the relevant source before relying on it.
- Match the strength of the wording to the strength of the evidence.
- Prefer primary guidelines and high-quality research where appropriate.
- Identify when evidence is uncertain, mixed or limited.
- Distinguish stable background facts from newer or evolving treatment claims.
- Recheck time-sensitive claims when a page is substantively reviewed.
We do not permit
- Invented journal citations, DOI numbers or guidelines.
- Referencing a paper that has not actually been checked.
- Claiming that research proves more than it actually demonstrates.
- Using a single weak study to imply settled medical consensus.
- Hiding uncertainty merely to make a treatment sound more impressive.
- Fabricating patient cases, reviews or clinical statistics.
Medical Review Workflow
From draft to publication
The exact depth of review depends on the page, but the following workflow is the standard for substantive clinical content.
1
Define the page
Establish the patient question, intended audience, canonical page and clinical scope before writing.
2
Prepare content
Create educational copy covering relevant indications, alternatives, recovery, limitations and risks.
3
Check evidence
Verify important medical facts, supporting references and any time-sensitive authority claim.
4
Medical review
A qualified human reviewer assesses relevant clinical statements before a page is represented as medically reviewed.
5
Compliance check
Remove guarantees, unsupported superlatives, misleading outcome claims or inappropriate diagnostic language.
6
Technical QA
Check canonical URL, schema, internal links, mobile layout, accessibility, images and contact pathways.
7
Publish
Display authorship and review information only to the extent it is accurate for that version of the page.
8
Maintain
Update material information when evidence, services, factual details or clinical guidance meaningfully changes.
Review-Date Integrity
What does “medically reviewed” mean on this website?
A medical-review label should indicate that a qualified human reviewer has actually considered the relevant medical content.
Automatically changing a date merely because a page was uploaded, redesigned, reformatted, spell-checked or technically modified can mislead readers into believing that a new clinical review occurred.
Locked website rule:
The “medically reviewed” date should change only after a genuine review of the relevant clinical content. A purely technical or cosmetic website edit is not a medical review.
Authority-Claim Verification
Credentials and achievements also require fact-checking
Medical accuracy is not limited to treatment descriptions. Claims about a doctor or clinic should also be verifiable.
Qualifications
Degrees, specialty qualifications and fellowships should correspond to verifiable professional records.
Memberships
Society and professional memberships should not be stated unless supported by appropriate evidence.
Awards & recognition
Awards, rankings or recognition should be accurately described, including relevant limitations or dates where necessary.
Years of experience
Experience claims should follow a defined, consistently applied calculation rather than arbitrary inflation.
Procedure counts
Numerical procedure claims require a defensible source and should be updated when necessary rather than guessed.
Devices & technology
Equipment names and technical capabilities should be described factually without converting the device name into an unsupported effectiveness claim.
Digital & AI-Assisted Workflows
Technology may assist the editorial process. It does not become the doctor.
Modern editorial workflows may use software, search tools, automation or artificial-intelligence systems to help organize information, compare drafts, identify missing sections, format structured data or assist with research workflows.
These tools do not independently establish patient suitability, replace clinical judgment or qualify as the human medical reviewer whose name appears on a page.
Appropriate assistance
- Draft organization
- Language and readability support
- Reference discovery for later verification
- Technical formatting and structured data
- Consistency and omission checks
Human responsibility remains required
- Clinical accuracy
- Medical interpretation
- Treatment recommendations
- Review of important claims
- Final responsibility for published clinical content
Patient Images & Clinical Stories
Patient privacy comes before content value
Identifiable information
Patient identity, photographs, messages or clinical details should not be published without explicit consent appropriate to the intended use.
Before-and-after photographs
Images should be genuine and consented. Neutral cropping or lighting correction must not be used to materially change the apparent clinical result.
Individual outcomes
Before-and-after photographs represent individual patients and should never imply that the same result is guaranteed for another person.
Case education
Educational cases should preserve privacy, use consent where required and include balanced discussion rather than functioning as a disguised outcome guarantee.
Intimate procedures
Female and male intimate-procedure content should use clinical, non-explicit, privacy-first presentation without coercive or stigmatizing language.
Withdrawal or questions
Questions concerning previously supplied media or personal information can be directed to Mayflower Clinic for review of the applicable consent and publication circumstances.
Testimonials & Reviews
Authentic patient feedback must remain authentic
Permitted approach
- Use genuine reviews from identifiable review inventory.
- Preserve the reviewer’s meaning.
- Truncate long reviews where necessary without changing the meaning.
- Identify reviews as individual patient experiences.
- Keep testimonial presentation separate from objective medical evidence.
Not permitted
- Fabricated patient names or quotations.
- Composite reviews made from multiple patients.
- Rewriting a review to create a stronger result claim.
- Presenting a testimonial as proof that a treatment will work for everyone.
- Inventing review counts or ratings when current data has not been verified.
Verified Patient-Feedback Examples
Why we preserve patient wording
The examples below are from the clinic's verified Google-review
inventory. They describe individual experiences and are not evidence
that every patient will have the same outcome.
★★★★★
“From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Shahane demonstrated exceptional skill, professionalism, and a genuine care for my well-being.”Nishant Menghare Verified Google reviewer · Rhinoplasty
★★★★★
“He explains everything and how to take care. He support at every stage and do the surgery as planned.”Kunal Thakur Verified Google reviewer · Rhinoplasty patient family
★★★★★
“We met with Dr. Shahane and discussed the issue. We got best result. Thanks to Dr. Shahane.”Ratnesh Mudgal Verified Google reviewer · Rhinoplasty patient family
Medical-Advertising Guardrails
Clear information instead of exaggerated promises
No guaranteed results
Surgical and non-surgical outcomes vary. Clinic-authored content should not promise a guaranteed result.
No “risk-free” claims
Safety measures may reduce avoidable risk but cannot make a procedure completely free of complications.
No unsupported superiority
Promotional language should not substitute for verifiable qualifications, experience, evidence and transparent information.
No online diagnosis
A website may explain general possibilities but cannot determine the diagnosis or correct procedure for an individual visitor.
No artificial urgency
Medical decisions should not be driven by fake countdowns, fabricated scarcity or pressure tactics.
No shame-based messaging
Content should not exploit insecurity, stigma, fear or sexual pressure to persuade a patient to undergo treatment.
Corrections Policy
What happens when something needs to change?
Not every edit has the same significance. The response should reflect whether the issue is cosmetic, factual or clinically meaningful.
| Type of change | Typical examples | Editorial response |
|---|---|---|
| Minor editorial change | Spelling, punctuation, grammar, spacing or formatting that does not change meaning. | May be corrected without representing the change as a new medical review. |
| Technical change | Broken link repair, responsive layout, image compression, accessibility markup or schema repair. | Update the technical implementation. Do not automatically change the medical-review date. |
| Factual update | Clinic hours, contact details, verified qualification data, equipment information or service availability. | Correct after verification and update the relevant page information. |
| Clinical update | Changed evidence, altered recommendations, revised risk information or correction of an important medical statement. | Requires appropriate medical review before the revised content is presented as medically reviewed. |
| Material error | Information that could meaningfully mislead a patient about treatment, risks, recovery or suitability. | Correct promptly. Consider a dated correction/update note where transparency would help readers understand the change. |
Report an Error
Readers can help us identify information that needs review.
Medical information and clinic details can change. If you believe a page contains a factual error, outdated information, broken reference or potentially misleading statement, please tell us.
When reporting an issue, identifying the exact page and the statement you are concerned about helps us review it more efficiently.
Privacy-Aware Publishing
Medical content should not require unnecessary personal disclosure.
Data minimisation
Website contact pathways should collect only information reasonably needed to arrange contact or respond to the patient.
Sensitive photographs
Ordinary public website forms should not encourage unnecessary intimate-image submission.
Not for emergencies
Website forms, email and routine WhatsApp communication should not be represented as emergency medical services.

Editorial & medical-review questions
Who is responsible for medical content on the Mayflower Clinic website?
Mayflower Clinic is responsible for the website's published
content. Clinical material should undergo appropriate human medical
review, with Dr. Pawan Shahane, M.Ch. Plastic Surgery, serving as
the medical reviewer for plastic, cosmetic, reconstructive and
hair-restoration content where applicable.
Does every website edit count as a new medical review?
No. A medically reviewed or updated date should change only after a
genuine review of relevant clinical content. Minor spelling,
formatting or technical changes do not by themselves constitute a
new medical review.
What sources are preferred when medical claims are written?
The preferred hierarchy is applicable Indian regulator or
government guidance, recognized professional society guidance,
systematic reviews and high-quality peer-reviewed research,
standard textbooks for stable facts, and clearly labelled clinical
perspective or practice protocol.
Can a citation be added if the source has not been checked?
No. Citations should not be fabricated, and a source should not be
represented as supporting a stronger claim than it actually
supports.
How does Mayflower Clinic handle differences between published evidence and clinical experience?
Established evidence and a clinician's individual perspective
should be distinguished. A practice preference or clinical
perspective should be labelled as such rather than presented as
universal evidence.
How are patient photographs and before-and-after images handled?
Patient photographs or identifiable clinical information should be
published only with appropriate explicit consent. Before-and-after
images should be genuine, consented, not materially altered and
should not imply that another patient will obtain the same result.
Are patient testimonials rewritten to sound better?
No. Testimonials should be authentic and should not be edited or
combined in a way that creates a misleading clinical or outcome
claim.
What happens when Mayflower Clinic finds an important error?
Material medical or factual errors should be corrected promptly.
Where a correction substantially changes the meaning or clinical
advice of a page, a dated correction or update note should be
considered so readers can understand that the content changed.
Can artificial intelligence help prepare website content?
Digital and AI-assisted tools may support drafting, organization,
formatting, research workflows or quality checks, but they do not
replace accountable human medical review. AI is not presented as
the treating doctor or medical reviewer.
Does website content provide an individual diagnosis or treatment recommendation?
No. Website information is educational and cannot replace
consultation, examination, relevant investigations or individualized
medical advice.
How are claims about qualifications, awards, experience or procedure numbers handled?
Claims about qualifications, memberships, awards, rankings, years
of experience, procedure numbers, devices or similar authority
facts should be verified before publication and reviewed when the
underlying information changes.
How can a reader report a possible error on the website?
Readers may contact Mayflower Clinic through the clinic's contact
page, telephone or email and identify the page and information they
believe should be reviewed.

If you believe a Mayflower Clinic webpage contains outdated, inaccurate or unclear information, contact the clinic and identify the specific page. We would rather review an important concern than leave potentially misleading information unexamined.
Editorial & Medical Disclaimer:Website content is provided for general educational purposes. It does
not diagnose an individual, establish suitability for a procedure or
replace consultation with an appropriately qualified medical
professional. Evidence, recommendations, clinical techniques and
services can evolve. A displayed medical-review date should represent a
genuine review of relevant clinical content rather than an automatic
website update.
