Separately, our Notice of Privacy Practices governs how we handle your Protected Health Information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as part of your care with us. A copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices is available [here / at our office] and should be read together with this policy for a complete picture of how your information is handled.

Protected Health Information (HIPAA)

If you become a patient of the Practice, information related to your diagnosis, treatment, and care is considered Protected Health Information (PHI) and is governed by HIPAA and our Notice of Privacy Practices, not solely by this website Privacy Policy. We use and disclose PHI only as permitted by HIPAA, including for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations, or as you authorize in writing.

Information submitted through general website contact forms (before you are an established patient) is handled under this Privacy Policy until a patient relationship is established, at which point applicable clinical information becomes subject to HIPAA protections.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:

  • Remember your preferences
  • Understand how visitors use our Site (analytics)
  • Support advertising and marketing efforts (if applicable)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate our Site, scheduling, billing, and communications (e.g., hosting providers, EHR/scheduling software, payment processors), under confidentiality obligations
  • Business associates, as defined under HIPAA, who assist with healthcare operations and are bound by Business Associate Agreements
  • Legal and regulatory authorities, when required by law, subpoena, or court order
  • Successors, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of practice assets

We do not share PHI for marketing purposes without your written authorization, as required by HIPAA.

Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • Request restrictions on certain uses/disclosures of your PHI
  • Opt out of marketing communications by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails or contacting us directly
