Website Terms of Use & Consent to Electronic Communication
Acceptance of Terms
By using this website, including any contact form, appointment request form, or other form that collects your information, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please contact our office by phone instead of submitting information online.
No Medical Advice, No Provider Relationship
Content on this website is for general information only and is not a substitute for professional dental or medical advice. Using this website, or submitting a form, does not create a dentist-patient or orthodontist-patient relationship. That relationship begins only once you have been seen in our office.
Submitting Information Through This Website
When you submit a form on this site (for example, to request an appointment or ask a question), you may be providing personal information and, in some cases, limited health information. We use that information only to respond to your request, schedule care, and communicate with you about your treatment.
Consent to Electronic Transmission of Information
Standard email and web forms are not fully encrypted end to end. By submitting information through this website, you acknowledge and consent that:
- Information you send may be transmitted over the internet and is not guaranteed to be completely secure.
- We take reasonable steps to protect your information but cannot guarantee the security of any electronic transmission.
- You should avoid including sensitive details (such as full medical history or payment card numbers) in open web forms; our staff will collect that information securely once you are a registered patient.
Consent to Electronic Communications
By providing your email address or mobile number, you consent to receive appointment reminders, account and billing notices, and practice communications by email and/or text message. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of non-essential communications at any time by contacting our office; we will still need to reach you by phone or mail for matters required by law.
Minors and Parental or Guardian Consent
Because we treat both children and adults, any form submitted on behalf of a patient under 18 must be completed by a parent or legal guardian, who is consenting on the minor's behalf to the terms of this page and to the transmission of the minor's information as described above.
Privacy
Our use and disclosure of health information is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices. This page addresses the website and electronic-communication piece specifically; the Notice of Privacy Practices governs your health information more broadly.
Third-Party Links & Site Analytics
This site may link to third-party sites we do not control and are not responsible for. We may also use standard website analytics to understand site usage; this does not include health information you submit through our forms.
Changes to These Terms
We may update this page from time to time. The version posted here is always the current one.
