Editorial and Medical Review Policy

At ER of Irving, people across Irving and the surrounding area count on our website for clear health information, often during stressful moments. Because that information can shape real health decisions, we hold every page to a clear standard for how it is written, reviewed, and kept current. This page explains how we work.

Who writes our content

Our articles and service pages are written and maintained by the ER of Irving editorial team. Our writers research each topic using trusted medical sources, then write it in plain language so it is easy to follow when it matters.

How our content is medically reviewed

Before we publish anything that covers a medical topic, our clinical team reviews it for accuracy and clarity. The team includes emergency physicians and registered nurses who care for patients at ER of Irving.

Our reviewers check that the content reflects current medical guidance, that symptoms and treatments are described correctly, and that nothing could mislead you about when to seek emergency care.

Our editorial decisions are guided by accuracy and patient safety, never by advertisers or sponsors.

The sources we rely on

We base our health content on respected, authoritative sources, including:

  • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
  • National Institutes of Health (NIH) and MedlinePlus
  • American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP)
  • American Heart Association (AHA)
  • Peer-reviewed medical journals and established clinical guidelines

When we state a fact or a statistic, we aim to link it back to the original source so you can read more.

How often we update our content

Medical guidance changes over time. We review our health content regularly and refresh it at least once a year, or sooner when new research or guidance appears. Where possible, a page shows when it was last reviewed or updated.

Corrections and feedback

If something looks inaccurate or out of date, we want to hear about it. Reach out through our contact page and our team will look into it promptly.

A note about medical emergencies

The information on this site is for general education only. It is not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a substitute for advice from a medical professional who knows your situation. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or come straight to ER of Irving. We are open 24 hours a day, every day.
