Anonymous, I have to respond: yes, the MAA Center IS sponsored by a law firm. However, we do not work FOR this firm - a number of law firms choose to sponsor websites in an effort to provide information to the public. All of the information on our site is accredited by the Health On The Net Foundation, which means we are in compliance with their 8 principles and provide well-researched, valid medical information. Becoming HONcode certified is no easy task, and we are reviewed annually. We are very upfront about law firm sponsorship; if the people we contact ask us, we are forthcoming as a rule. Despite law firm affiliation, our website provides important, up to date and reliable health information.
I certainly understand your concerns. If there are further questions about the MAA Center or what we do, please email me: [email protected].
