Corrections and error reports

We’d rather hear about a problem than let it stand. If something on a page looks wrong, out of date, confusing, or unsafe, please tell us.

Report an issue

Email us the page and what you noticed. Please don’t include personal medical details.

Please protect your privacy. Please do not include names, medical record numbers, dates of birth, addresses, or other identifying medical information in your report.

What kind of problem is it?

Any of these help us route your report — a factual error, a citation problem, a broken link, outdated information, unsafe or unclear wording, duplicate content, an accessibility problem, or anything else.

What’s helpful to include

The page address or title, the specific wording or fact in question, and — if you have it — a source that shows what the page should say. A short note about what felt wrong is enough; you don’t need to write a lot.

How we handle reports

We read every report. Concerns that could affect someone’s safety are prioritized and looked at first. If a page needs to change, we update it and, where relevant, note that it was corrected. If a page needs a closer look before it can stay up, we can hold it from search and site indexes while we review.

What we can and can’t do

We can fix errors, clarify confusing wording, update stale information, and repair broken source links. We can’t give medical advice, interpret your personal results, or tell you what to do about your own health — that’s a conversation for your care team. For the limits of what this site is for, see our medical disclaimer.
