## Medical Review

MMJ.com is a private telemedicine clinic that connects patients with state-licensed physicians for medical marijuana evaluations. We are NOT a government entity, a state-run program, or a regulatory body.

State-specific medical content is reviewed by Dr. Kevin Kargman, DO (NPI 1407810302), the MMJ.com content reviewer, in the states where he holds an active medical license. Content for other states carries organization-level editorial oversight by John Progar, CEO and Founder.

Patient evaluations are conducted by state-licensed certifying physicians, published with their federal NPIs on `/doctors/`, including Dr. Johnathan Miller, MD (NPI 1235623372); Dr. Rajashree Kantha, MD (NPI 1417991381); Dr. Carla Antola, MD (NPI 1568654101); Dr. Gaurav Patel, MD (NPI 1023571379); Dr. David Okonkwo, MD (NPI 1457796062); Dr. Zachary Kramer, MD (NPI 1891015152); Dr. Sakib Maya, MD (NPI 1790196749); Dr. Sean Lowe, MD (NPI 1679716559, Georgia); Dr. Natasha Stinson, MD (NPI 1841438520, Georgia); and Dr. Naureen Adam, MD (NPI 1518174457, Georgia). The roster page is the authoritative list. Certifying physicians evaluate patients; they are not content reviewers.
