About
Who reviews Livist Medical content
Dr. Mecit ŞANLI is the medical reviewer behind every clinical page on Livist Medical. His role is to make sure that what patients read is accurate, sourced and written without overselling outcomes. He trained in general surgery and has spent more than a decade in clinical practice across Türkiye and the Gulf. That background shapes how he reads our procedure guides, cost pages and recovery articles — he looks for the same evidence he would expect in a hospital briefing. When a claim cannot be traced to a guideline, peer-reviewed study or official health authority, it does not go live. When guidance changes, pages are reopened for review. The goal is simple: trustworthy information for people planning care abroad.
