Medical and Health Information Notice
The Website’s contact form and chat feature are not intended for medical emergencies or urgent medical concerns. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately or go to the nearest emergency department.
We do not represent that this Website, by itself, is a HIPAA-covered platform.

- LeadConnector — the chat and messaging widget available on the Website.
- Financing providers, including Cherry, CareCredit, and PatientFi.
- Replit — our website hosting provider.
- Social media platforms, such as Instagram, where we maintain a presence.
Each provider maintains its own terms and privacy policies governing how it collects, stores, and uses information.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Website may use cookies, pixels, embedded scripts, and similar technologies to support functionality, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. Some of these technologies may be set by the third-party tools embedded on the Website.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the Website function.
How Information Is Shared
We may share information in the following circumstances:
- With service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as scheduling, communications, and hosting.
- With financing providers if you choose to click through to or apply for financing.
- When required to comply with applicable law, legal process, or a governmental request.
- In connection with a business transfer, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

SMS, Phone, and Email Communications
If you provide your contact information, we may contact you by phone, text message, or email to respond to your inquiry or coordinate your care. You may opt out of non-essential communications at any time by letting us know or by following any opt-out instructions provided in a message. Message and data rates may apply.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we handle. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
