Information you choose to provide
The appointment email tool asks for a first name and one contact method: email or telephone. The details remain in the current page until you choose to open your email app. The website does not transmit those fields to a practice database or store them in browser storage. Your email application receives the prepared message; you decide whether to send it. If sent, the office and email providers process the message to respond to your request.
Please do not include symptoms, diagnoses, medical history, insurance numbers, payment details or other sensitive information in ordinary email. Call the office to ask how to share clinical information securely. We do not enroll you in marketing or text messages through this form.
Patient forms and health information
Medical and dental history, financial consent and HIPAA consent are available through an external form service. Selecting a linked form opens the form service, where you verify your email and complete the form. Information entered there is processed by that provider under its own policies and the practice’s configured account settings; this marketing website does not receive the completed form. Contact the office for current forms, delivery instructions or questions about access to completed records.
This website policy is not the practice’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices. Please contact the office for its current Notice and questions about access to, corrections to or disclosure of your medical records.
Technical information and hosting
The website’s own code does not use analytics, advertising pixels, session replay, cookies or persistent browser storage. Hosting and access-control services may process IP addresses, browser information, request logs and necessary session information to deliver and protect the site. Their infrastructure practices are separate from the code described here. Do not use this site to send medical records.
Google Maps and other services
Google Maps loads automatically on pages that display a map. Your browser connects to Google, which may receive your IP address, browser and device information and use cookies or similar technology under its own policies. This happens when the map loads, without first selecting a website button. You can control cookies in your browser or contact the practice by phone.
Google reviews and directions are external links. Telephone and email links use your chosen device services. These providers apply their own policies. No advertising or analytics providers are loaded by this website code.
Choices, retention and requests
You can call instead of using email or the map. The site does not keep a copy of appointment form entries. Messages you send and hosting records may be retained under applicable service settings, business needs and legal obligations. Contact the office about a message, privacy concern or applicable data rights; do not include sensitive details in an initial email. We cannot promise deletion of records that must legally be retained.
Children and updates
The site is intended for adults arranging care; a parent or guardian should contact the office on behalf of a child. Do not enter a child’s medical details here. We may update this policy when website features change; the update date above identifies this version.
