Publishing health content is the easy part. Knowing that every clinical claim in it will survive a reader, a regulator, or a physician who actually knows the subject is the part that keeps people awake at night. That is the work I do. I am an MBBS physician working as a medical reviewer and medical editor, and my job is to find what is wrong before your audience does. I flag misleading, overstated, outdated and unsupported claims, check how clinical studies have been interpreted, verify citations against the primary source, and return corrections you can act on in a single pass. Where you need it, I sign off on content and allow it to carry a "Medically reviewed by" credit that anyone can independently verify. I am not here to rubber-stamp anything. If a claim cannot be supported, I will tell you plainly, with the evidence and the wording I would use instead. That is the only version of this service worth paying for. WHO I WORK WITH - Telehealth, wellness and health technology brands publishing patient-facing content - Medical education, certification and EdTech companies validating course content and question banks - Health publishers producing books, guides and blogs for a general readership - Physician authors, researchers and doctoral candidates preparing manuscripts for peer review - Healthcare AI teams who need clinical judgement applied to model outputs, rubrics and evaluation sets WHAT I DO - Medical accuracy review and clinical fact-checking of articles, guides and web copy - Medical content review with written sign-off and reviewer credit - Medical editing and scientific editing of manuscripts, abstracts and clinical documents - Manuscript editing and journal submission support, from author instructions and formatting through to response-to-reviewer letters - Medical education content review against current clinical standards and guidelines - Evidence summaries and literature reviews with graded, cited findings - Clinical review of AI-generated and AI-assisted drafts before publication HOW THE WORK COMES BACK TO YOU - A written review that flags each issue, explains why it matters, and gives you suggested wording - Tracked changes in Microsoft Word, or suggestions and comments in Google Docs - A priority triage where volume is high, so you fix the red items first - A sign-off statement once revisions are made, if you need one for your records TOOLS AND STANDARDS Microsoft Word Track Changes, Google Docs, Excel and Google Sheets review registers, PDF annotation, PubMed and peer-reviewed literature, clinical trial registries, EndNote, ScholarOne and Editorial Manager, ICMJE, APA 7 and Chicago style, AI-content and plagiarism screening, Zoom. BACKGROUND MBBS, University of Jos. MPH in progress at Miva Open University. HIPAA certified. Confidentiality agreements mean I describe the manuscript work rather than name the papers, and authors keep every right to them. I also work in clinical AI evaluation, which is where a growing share of unverified health content now originates. Most clients start with one article or one manuscript, then keep me on retainer once they see what comes back. Send me a message with what you are publishing and the deadline you are working to, and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right reviewer for it.
