Content on this site is produced under the clinical review of Dr. Miachel Suk, FACLM, an orthopedic surgeon practicing in Danville, Pennsylvania whose clinical focus is trauma. Dr. Suk earned his medical degree at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, completed residency at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein School of Medicine, and completed a trauma fellowship at Hospital for Special Surgery. Pages that touch on trauma care are checked against that training line directly, and every other page on the site is held to the same standard of accuracy and sourcing regardless of subject. Because most new patients reach this practice through a referring physician rather than self-directed search, editorial review also asks whether a page answers the question a referring clinician would bring to it, not only the question a patient would. Dr. Suk is accepting new patients.

Who writes the medical information on this page?
A clinician with training in orthopedic trauma writes and checks it.
Dr. Miachel Suk treats trauma patients at this Danville, PA practice. He completed residency at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He completed fellowship training in trauma at the Hospital for Special Surgery Trauma Fellowship. Content on this site is written to reflect that training, not to replace it.
Is this content reviewed by a doctor before it is published?
Yes. Dr. Suk reviews clinical content related to his focus area, orthopedic trauma, before it goes on the site.
Review covers whether medical terms are used correctly, whether treatment options are listed in the right order, and whether a statement can be traced to a real source.
Does reading this page replace an appointment with a doctor?
No. Nothing on this site diagnoses a condition or tells a reader what they have.
Pages describe conditions and treatment options in general terms so a patient can prepare questions for a visit. An exam with a physician is still the only way to get a diagnosis.
Where do the facts and numbers on this site come from?
Each one comes from a named source, not a guess.
Recovery ranges and similar figures are drawn from established medical organizations, with the source noted in the text. If a fact cannot be traced to a source, it is left off the page.
Does this site claim that a doctor is the best or the only option?
No. This site does not use words like best, leading, or top rated without being able to back them up.
Where a physician's training is described, such as Dr. Suk's fellowship in trauma at the Hospital for Special Surgery Trauma Fellowship, the page names the program and institution directly instead of using a label like top rated.
