this website. The information they provide us allows us to make this site as rewarding and
personalized as possible. To guarantee the privacy of our
visitors, we will:
-
Never sell personally identifiable
information to third parties for marketing purposes unless
you request otherwise;
-
Never disclose your identity

In certain areas on our site, we may have joined forces with a
reputable third-party source of specialized information and
other content to bring you additional resources of medical or
healthcare information. We recommend that you always review their
privacy policies and terms of use before you complete any

II. Internet Communication: Given inherent problems
with Internet security, clients must agree to utilize our
service at their own security risk. Highly sensitive and
personal subjects such as infectious and sexually transmitted
diseases, mental health issues, substance abuse, etc., may
best be handled through face-to-face healthcare encounters.
III. Medical advice and consultation provided via
the Internet or telephone will be based upon information made
available by the patient as well as previous encounters
documented in the patient's chart. This interaction may not be
an adequate substitute for an office visit. It is possible
that an office visit or referral to another medical care
provider will be suggested for proper evaluation.
IV. Internet and telephone communication should be
used for non-urgent concerns only. Any emergent or potentially
life-threatening symptom such as, but not limited to, chest
pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, numbness, weakness,
slurred speech, high fever, severe headache, severe abdominal
pain, profuse bleeding or severe injury, should NOT be dealt
with via e-mail communication. Clients should call our office
or call ‘911’ with any of these medical issues.
V. Website content: Every effort is made to keep the
information on and links from this website current, reliable
and accurate. However, given the nature of medicine and
the Internet, the contents herein can not be guaranteed
accurate. All medical information and decisions are best
made in direct consultation with a licensed physician.
