How SoCal Interventional sources, reviews, labels, updates, and corrects patient-education content.
Effective July 20, 2026. Last editorial update July 20, 2026.
SoCal Interventional publishes patient education about benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate artery embolization (PAE), genicular artery embolization (GAE), uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), and related image-guided care. This policy explains how clinical content is prepared, sourced, labeled, and corrected.
Website content is intended to help patients prepare informed questions for qualified clinicians. It is not medical advice, a diagnosis, a guarantee of candidacy, or a substitute for individualized care. Online information cannot account for a patient’s examination, imaging, laboratory results, medicines, anatomy, or treatment goals.
Emergency symptoms should not be submitted through an appointment form. Patients who cannot urinate, have severe pain, fever or chills with urinary symptoms, significant bleeding, difficulty breathing, neurologic symptoms, or another emergency should seek prompt medical care.
Clinical pages should identify sources close to the relevant claims and include a source list when practical. Preferred sources include:
Individual studies should not be presented as universal proof. Population, comparator, follow-up period, outcome measure, and limitations matter. Quantified outcomes should not be published without a traceable source and enough context to interpret them.
Content should distinguish potential benefits from guaranteed outcomes. Words such as “safe,” “best,” “permanent,” “risk-free,” or “proven” require context and ordinarily should be avoided in patient-facing marketing. Treatment comparisons should discuss meaningful tradeoffs, including expected symptom and urinary-flow improvement, recovery, anesthesia, catheter use, sexual effects, complications, and possible retreatment.
PAE content should make clear that urinary symptoms have multiple possible causes; candidacy requires clinical and imaging evaluation; results and durability vary; surgical or medical treatment may be more appropriate; and additional treatment can be necessary.
Pages should identify the publishing organization and the date of the latest substantive editorial update. A page should state “medically reviewed” only after a named qualified clinician has actually reviewed that version. Content without that completed review should not imply physician approval and may be labeled as editorially prepared from cited clinical sources.
Clinical services described on this site are associated with Dr. Nathanael Sabbah. A service description does not mean that every website sentence represents an individualized recommendation from Dr. Sabbah.
Research, drafting, grammar, or content-management tools may assist the editorial process. Tools do not replace source verification, clinical judgment, or responsibility for what is published. Clinical claims should remain traceable to cited sources, and content should not fabricate credentials, patient outcomes, publications, or first-party data.
Testimonials describe individual experiences. They are not clinical evidence and do not predict another patient’s outcome. Testimonials may contain statements written by the reviewer that are not independently verified by SoCal Interventional. Results, recovery, complications, and satisfaction vary.
The website describes services offered by SoCal Interventional and therefore has a commercial purpose. Treatment pages should still present material limitations and reasonable alternatives. Sponsored relationships, material industry support, or paid placement should be disclosed when applicable. Advertising performance should not determine whether a medical claim is published.
High-impact clinical pages should be reviewed when a relevant guideline changes, important new evidence becomes available, a service changes, or a material error is identified. The displayed update date should reflect substantive review or revision rather than an automatic date change.
Readers and clinicians may report a possible factual error, outdated source, inaccessible link, or misleading statement by emailing info@uroir.com. Please include the page URL and the specific passage. Material corrections should be made promptly and, when useful to patient understanding, explained on the affected page.
