Transparency & accuracy
Verification, claims, and corrections
This page explains how listings are verified, how practices can claim or update their profile, and how to report information that appears to be wrong.
For patients and visitors
Here is what we check before a listing appears in the directory, how often we update it, and what our verification labels mean.
What we verify
Every listing goes through a manual review before it appears in the directory. We check the following against publicly available sources including state licensing boards, practice websites, and direct provider outreach.
Contact details
Phone number, office address, and zip code are confirmed against the practice's own website or state licensing records. We do not publish contact details we cannot independently verify.
Active license status
We check that the provider holds an active license with the South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners or the relevant state licensing authority for their specialty.
Specialty and practice name
The listed specialty and practice name are matched to the provider's own public-facing materials. We do not infer specialties from general descriptions.
Accepting new patients
Accepting-patients status is confirmed at the time of listing or last verification. This status can change — call ahead to confirm before visiting.
Insurance accepted
Insurance information is self-reported by the practice or sourced from the practice website. Insurance networks change frequently — always confirm with the provider's office before your appointment.
Office hours
Hours are sourced from the practice website or direct confirmation. Holiday hours and seasonal changes may not be reflected immediately.
What we do not assess
HiltonHeadMedical.com verifies contact and licensing information only. We do not evaluate, rate, or endorse the clinical quality of any provider. We do not verify patient reviews, outcomes data, or malpractice history. Our directory is a starting point for finding care — not a substitute for your own research or your primary care provider's referral.
How often we update listings
Each listing shows a "Last confirmed" date indicating when our team last verified the core contact and licensing details. We aim to re-verify active listings at least once every 12 months. Sponsored and featured listings are re-verified more frequently. If you notice outdated information, use the "Report incorrect information" link on any profile — we review reports within 3 business days.
Sponsored and featured listings
Some listings are marked "Sponsored" or "Featured." Sponsored listings are paid placements — the provider or practice has paid for increased visibility in search results. Sponsorship has no bearing on our verification process; all listings, paid or unpaid, go through the same verification steps.
For practices
If your practice is listed in this directory, you can claim your profile to keep information current, or request a correction if something is wrong. Submitting a claim does not immediately grant editing access — we verify authority before making any changes.
Claim your listing
Claiming a listing lets you request updates to your practice information — address, phone, hours, website, insurance, and accepting-patients status. We verify that you are authorized to represent the practice before applying any changes.
- 1
Submit a claim request using the Get Listed form, selecting "Claim an existing listing" as your inquiry type.
- 2
Include your name, role at the practice, and the practice name and address exactly as it appears in the directory.
- 3
We will contact you at the practice's verified phone number or email to confirm authority. This typically takes 2–5 business days.
- 4
Once confirmed, we apply your requested updates and send you a confirmation.
Request a correction
If specific information in your listing is wrong — a phone number, address, specialty, or hours — you can submit a correction request without going through the full claims process. We review corrections within 3 business days.
- 1
Use the contact form and select "Correction request" as the subject.
- 2
Identify the listing by practice name and city, and describe exactly what is incorrect and what the correct information is.
- 3
Include a source we can verify against — your practice website URL, a licensing board record, or similar.
- 4
We will update the listing and note the correction date, or contact you if we need more information.
Add a new listing
If your practice is not yet listed, you can submit a request to be added. We verify contact details and license status before publishing. Free listings include core contact information; sponsored placements offer additional visibility.
- 1
Complete the Get Listed form with your practice name, specialty, address, phone, and official website.
- 2
We verify your contact details and active license status against public records.
- 3
Once verified, your listing is published — typically within 5 business days of submission.
