How We Create Our Medical Content
Our commitment to medical accuracy, evidence-based information, and patient safety drives every piece of content we publish.
Our Commitment to You
At drrajarshimitra.com, we understand that when you search for medical information online, accuracy is not optional — it is essential. Health decisions should never be based on incomplete, outdated, or unverified information. That is why we have developed a rigorous editorial process to ensure that every article, guide, and resource on this website meets the highest standards of medical accuracy and clinical relevance.
Our content is designed to empower patients with trustworthy medical knowledge while making it clear that online information should complement — never replace — a personal consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
Who Writes and Reviews Our Content
Dr Rajarshi Mitra, MS, FACS, FIAGES, FICS, Dip.Lap
Specialist Laparoscopic Surgeon & Proctologist
All medical content on this website is written and/or personally reviewed by Dr Rajarshi Mitra. With over 20 years of clinical experience, more than 5,000 total surgeries (including 2,000+ gallbladder procedures), and active surgical practice in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Dr Mitra brings direct, hands-on expertise to every article published on this site.
Dr Mitra’s qualifications include fellowship with the American College of Surgeons (FACS), the Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endo Surgeons (FIAGES), the International College of Surgeons (FICS), and a Diploma in Laparoscopic Surgery from France. These credentials reflect advanced training and recognised expertise in the surgical specialties covered on this website.
Our Content Creation Process
Every article on drrajarshimitra.com goes through a structured multi-step process before publication:
Topic Selection Based on Patient Needs
Topics are selected based on questions Dr Mitra frequently encounters in clinical practice, common patient concerns in Abu Dhabi and the UAE, and gaps in available online medical information. We prioritise topics where patients need clear, accurate guidance to make informed decisions about their health.
Research and Evidence Gathering
Before any article is drafted, we conduct thorough research using peer-reviewed medical literature, current clinical practice guidelines, and established medical references. Sources include major guideline bodies such as the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), the American College of Surgeons (ACS), the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), the World Health Organization (WHO), and relevant peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed.
Content Drafting with Clinical Expertise
Articles are drafted to combine evidence-based medical information with practical clinical insights drawn from Dr Mitra’s 20+ years of surgical experience. We write in clear, accessible language so that patients without medical training can understand their conditions, treatment options, and what to expect. Where AI-assisted tools are used during the drafting process, all content is substantively reviewed, edited, and validated by Dr Mitra before publication.
Medical Accuracy Review
Every article undergoes a medical accuracy review by Dr Mitra prior to publication. This review verifies that all medical claims are supported by referenced evidence or established clinical practice, that treatment recommendations reflect current best practices, that no information contradicts accepted medical consensus, and that the content is appropriate for a patient-facing audience. Each published article displays a “Medically Reviewed By” badge with Dr Mitra’s credentials and the date of the most recent review.
Publication and Ongoing Updates
After passing medical review, content is published with proper references, disclaimers, and review dates. We actively monitor published content and update articles when new clinical guidelines are released, when medical consensus evolves, or when patient feedback highlights areas that need clarification. Each article displays a “Last Updated” date that reflects genuine content updates, not superficial edits.
Our Evidence Standards
We hold ourselves to strict evidence standards for all medical claims made on this website:
Primary Sources: We reference peer-reviewed medical journals, clinical practice guidelines from recognised medical societies, and official health authority publications. Specific sources are cited inline and listed in a references section at the bottom of each article.
Clinical Experience: Where content draws on Dr Mitra’s direct surgical experience (for example, typical recovery timelines or surgical outcomes), this is clearly identified as practice-based observation drawn from over 20 years of surgical practice and 5,000+ cases across Dr Mitra’s career.
No Unsubstantiated Claims: We do not publish medical claims that cannot be supported by referenced evidence or established clinical practice. When medical opinion varies or evidence is evolving, we clearly state this.
Regular Updates: Medical knowledge evolves. We review and update our content to incorporate the latest clinical guidelines, surgical techniques, and medical evidence. Articles that have not been reviewed within the past 12 months are flagged for priority review.
What Our Content Is — and What It Is Not
✓ Our Content IS:
• Educational information based on medical evidence and clinical experience
• Reviewed by a qualified, practising surgeon (FACS)
• Referenced with medical literature and clinical guidelines
• Regularly updated to reflect current medical practice
• Written for patients in accessible, clear language
✗ Our Content Is NOT:

Use of Technology in Content Creation
In keeping with our commitment to transparency, we acknowledge that AI-assisted tools may be used during the research, drafting, and optimisation phases of content creation. However, we want to be clear about what this means in practice:
Every piece of medical content on this website is substantively reviewed, edited, and approved by Dr Rajarshi Mitra before publication. AI tools may assist with initial research compilation, language clarity improvements, or formatting — but they do not replace the medical expertise, clinical judgement, and direct patient care experience that Dr Mitra brings to every article. No medical claim is published without verification against peer-reviewed sources and clinical practice standards by a qualified surgeon.
Cultural Sensitivity and Local Relevance
Serving a diverse patient population in Abu Dhabi and the UAE, our content is developed with cultural sensitivity as a priority. This includes respectful consideration of Islamic practices (such as fasting during Ramadan and its impact on surgical patients and chronic conditions), awareness of the multicultural demographics of the UAE’s resident population, and locally relevant healthcare information including UAE-specific emergency numbers, hospital systems, and insurance considerations.
Editorial Independence
All content on drrajarshimitra.com is editorially independent. We do not accept payment from pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, or any third party to influence the medical information presented on this website. Product or treatment mentions are based solely on clinical evidence and Dr Mitra’s professional assessment. We do not run advertisements or sponsored content.
