The bar every treatment must clear.
"Trust us" is a claim, not an argument. This page is the argument: the evidence a treatment needs before a doctor here will consider it, the physician behind our standards, how your information is handled, and the times the honest answer is no.
What it takes to be considered here.
This is not a catalog. There is nothing here to add to a cart, and no treatment enters a physician's protocol because it's having a moment. Before a clinician here will consider a treatment for any patient, our clinical standards require it to clear the same three tests:
- Meaningful human evidence. Published studies in people: randomized trials where they exist, solid clinical data where they don't. Not rodent studies extrapolated into promises, and never "everyone online is talking about it."
- Real clinical standing. Support from specialty-society guidelines, FDA labeling, or long-established medical practice: the kind of track record that survives contact with actual patients.
- The family test. A physician would comfortably offer it to their own family, at the same dose, with the same monitoring. If that sentence makes a doctor hesitate, it doesn't clear the bar.
And when the evidence is thinner than we'd like, we say so out loud instead of rounding up. Our peptide standards are the clearest example: it's one of the most over-sold corners of medicine online, and that page says so plainly, including that much of what's marketed in the category isn't FDA-approved for the uses it's advertised for. We publish that where anyone can read it, because a standard you only apply when it's flattering isn't a standard.
Physician-led, in practice.
"Physician-led" gets stamped on a lot of telehealth websites. Here is what it means at everydaymd, concretely. Our standards set the floor; every decision about your treatment belongs to the physician who evaluates you.
Behind every standard
- + Every clinical standard is authored and reviewed under our Medical Director, Gerard Myers, DO (a board-certified physician with more than 25 years in practice)
- + Standards follow the evidence and default to conservative: start low, monitor, adjust
- + When the evidence changes, the standard changes in either direction
- + Nothing enters our standards because a growth team wanted it
Behind every visit
- + Every patient is seen by a licensed clinician on a private video visit, never a quiz that ends at a checkout
- + No treatment decision without a real evaluation. Ever.
- + Follow-up is part of the care you're paying for, not an upsell: your doctor reviews how you're doing, takes side effects seriously, and answers your questions
- + If online care isn't the safe setting for you, your doctor says so and points you toward care that fits
Privacy and payment.
Medical care runs on trust, and trust runs on how carefully your information is handled:
- Your visits happen on a HIPAA-secure video platform. Private, confidential, and judgment-free. How online care works is spelled out in our telehealth consent before your first visit.
- Your records are handled under HIPAA. The details of your rights are in our HIPAA Notice.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. everydaymd never sees or stores your card number.
- We don't sell your data. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. Our Privacy Policy says exactly what we collect and why, in language you can actually read.
When the answer is no.
The most important standard on this page is the least marketable one: some visits end in a no, because that's the honest answer. If it won't help you, your doctor will say so. A visit that ends in "no" is still a real evaluation, with a real explanation and a plan for what to do instead.
Your doctor will tell you no when the evidence, the law, or your own history says they should. When the thing you're asking about isn't safe to manage over video. When the evaluation doesn't support what you arrived wanting. When the decision needs lab results and there aren't any yet. When something has a great story behind it and no human evidence underneath it. For anyone under 18, on anything at all. We'd rather lose your business than earn it wrongly.
One more honest boundary: telehealth is never crisis care. If you're in emotional crisis, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. In an emergency, call 911.
Now you know the bar.
A private video visit with a licensed physician, usually within 24 to 48 hours. It's held to everything on this page.
