Cookies & Analytics
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are most visited). This helps us improve the experience for patients. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some site functionality but will not prevent you from contacting us by phone.
Third-Party Services
Our site may include embedded content from third parties, such as Google Maps for directions to our office. These services have their own privacy policies governing any data they collect, and we encourage you to review them.
Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade information collected through our website to third parties for marketing purposes. Information submitted through our contact or appointment forms is used solely to respond to your request and, if you become a patient, may become part of your medical record subject to our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information submitted through our website from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
