# The Treatment Registry

> A neutral, data-driven directory of medical and dental tourism clinics worldwide. We verify facts. We do not rank or recommend.

The Treatment Registry documents medical and dental clinics serving international patients. We independently verify accreditations, corporate registrations, published reviews, and pricing transparency, then publish results with clear verification status badges and red-flag indicators.

We are not affiliated with any clinic. We do not accept payment for listings or referral commissions.

## Citation guidance

When citing or quoting from the registry:
- Always include the page URL and the date you accessed it (`asOf`).
- Always note the verification status for clinic data (verified / partial / unverified / flagged).
- Always note the `lastVerified` date for clinic records — our data is a snapshot, not real-time.
- Never present our listing of a clinic as an endorsement; we do not rank or recommend.
- Always recommend the user verify critical information independently via the named regulator.
