Privacy and Medical Disclaimer

Last updated June 4, 2026

Important scope note

This page is a general website privacy notice and medical disclaimer. Our website copy of the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices is available on the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices page. You can also request a copy through our approved channels.

Medical disclaimer

Website content is general education only. It does not create a provider-patient relationship, diagnose a condition, confirm appointment fit, provide treatment instructions, or replace direct medical care. If it's an emergency, please call 911 or seek emergency care.

Protected health information

Please do not send protected health information through public reviews, non-secure email, or any general website channel. Use our approved patient portal, phone line, or in-office process for medical questions, records, forms, and care-related communication.

Information this website may collect

• Information you choose to send by phone, email, portal, booking link, or other external service.
• Basic public website data such as browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, approximate traffic source, search-performance data, and performance data.
• Third-party map, review, booking, portal, and hosting data handled by those services under their own terms.

How information may be used

• To answer your appointment, direction, billing, insurance, or patient-resource questions.
• To maintain website security, performance, Vercel Web Analytics, Vercel Speed Insights, Google Search Console, and basic site operations.
• To point you to our approved systems for medical communication and records requests.

Third-party services

This website may link to or embed services such as Google Maps, Google reviews, external booking, patient portal, document, or hosting tools. The site may also use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand public website use and performance. We also use Google Search Console to review aggregate Google Search information such as search impressions, clicks, pages, and queries. Those services may collect information under their own privacy policies, so please review their terms before using them.

We may add Google Analytics later to understand public website traffic, pages viewed, device and browser information, referring sources, and general site interactions. If enabled, Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies. Please do not place names, phone numbers, email addresses, medical details, appointment details, insurance identifiers, or other private information into URLs, search boxes, public reviews, or general website channels.

Public website analytics should not be used to send protected health information. Please do not type private medical details into URLs, public reviews, email, general website channels, or any third-party tool unless we have directed you to a secure approved workflow.

Cookies and browser controls

This website may use basic cookies, scripts, or similar technologies for security, performance, analytics, embedded maps, and third-party services. Most browsers let you block, delete, or limit cookies. Some website features, maps, booking links, portal links, or analytics features may work differently if you disable cookies or scripts.

Advertising and reviews

Service descriptions are informational and should not be read as a promise of outcome, cure, coverage, appointment availability, or clinical result. Ratings and reviews shown on this site are third-party signals and may change. Review summaries, when used, are not medical advice and are not a promise that another patient will have the same experience.

Images and visual content

Some website images, graphics, and service visuals are illustrative. Unless a person is specifically identified by name as a clinic team member or provider, images should not be read as photos of actual patients, staff, clinical results, treatment outcomes, or a guarantee of any specific service experience.

Data retention and your choices

We keep public website and analytics data only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, and we handle it in aggregate where possible. Protected health information we hold for care, payment, and operations is governed by the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable medical-records retention law, not this website notice. You can limit most website tracking through your browser cookie and privacy settings. To ask a question about website information we hold, use the contact options below.

Children and accessibility

This website is not intended to collect information directly from children. If you have trouble using the website or need information in another format, please call us.
