Information you give us
When you use the “Book a consultation” form, we collect the information you enter: your name, email address, phone number, the treatment you are interested in, and any message you write. We use it only to respond to you, schedule a consultation, and answer your questions.
Please do not include detailed medical information in the form. A short description of what you would like to discuss is enough; we will go over your history with you directly. Do not use the form for emergencies. If you have an urgent medical problem, call 911.
Information collected automatically
Like all websites, our hosting provider automatically receives basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request, and the date and time. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure, and fix problems.
This website does not currently use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics services. If that changes, we will update this notice first.
Service providers and other websites

How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We share it only with the service providers above so they can run the website for us, when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our patients, staff, or others.
