Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 16, 2026
Information We Collect
When you submit a contact form on this website, we collect the personal information you voluntarily provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry.
We also collect certain non-personally identifiable information automatically when you visit this site, including your IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This data is gathered through analytics tools and standard web server logs.
This website does not collect, store, or process any protected health information (PHI) or medical records. It is not a patient portal and should not be used to transmit health-related information.
How We Use Your Information
Information you submit through the contact form is used to respond to your inquiry, answer questions about the practice, and assist with scheduling an initial consultation. We do not use your contact information for unsolicited marketing purposes.
Automatically collected data is used in aggregate to understand how visitors interact with the website, identify technical issues, and make improvements to content and user experience. This data is not linked to any individual's identity.
We may also retain information as necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations or to resolve disputes.
Information Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third party.
We may share information with trusted service providers who assist in operating this website, including web hosting and email delivery services, solely for the purpose of fulfilling those services. These providers are required to keep your information confidential and are not permitted to use it for any other purpose.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or in response to a lawful request from a government authority. We may also share information with your explicit consent.
Cookies and Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about site usage, including pages viewed, session duration, and referral sources. Google Analytics may set cookies in your browser to distinguish returning visitors and track sessions. No personally identifiable information is included in this data.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by disabling cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.
On a limited set of non-clinical pages only (the home page, About, Areas Served, the blog index, Contact, Events, FAQ, this policy, and Terms), this website also loads the Meta Pixel, an advertising tool from Meta Platforms, Inc. It records that the page was viewed, along with your IP address and browser information, so that we can measure and target advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The pixel is deliberately absent from every condition, symptom, treatment, and procedure page on this site, and from every individual blog post, so the specific health topic you read about is not reported to Meta. The pixel records page views only. Meta's automatic collection is switched off in the page code, so the pixel is not given the contents of the contact form and does not report the buttons you click or the medical topics described in a page's underlying metadata.
You can limit Meta advertising tracking through your Facebook or Instagram ad preferences, by blocking cookies in your browser, or by using a browser extension that blocks advertising trackers.
Data Security
This website is served over HTTPS using SSL/TLS encryption, which protects data in transit between your browser and our servers. Contact form submissions are transmitted through encrypted channels.
Access to collected information is restricted to authorized personnel who need it to respond to your inquiry. We use reputable hosting infrastructure with standard security controls in place.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security against all threats.
Your Rights
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, and to request deletion of your information where it is no longer needed for a legitimate purpose.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact the practice directly using the information at the bottom of this page. We will respond to all reasonable requests in a timely manner.
HIPAA Notice
This website is not a patient portal and is not covered under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the context of this website. No protected health information (PHI) is collected or stored through this website.
Do not submit medical history, symptoms, test results, or any other health-related information through this website's contact form. For questions about your medical records, appointment documentation, or any health-related matter, please contact the practice directly by phone at (860) 325-2869 or by email at [email protected].
HIPAA-compliant communications take place through the practice's designated patient communication channels, not through this website.
Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to external websites for informational purposes, such as medical references, professional organizations, or affiliated facilities. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external website you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of this website following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
