Your
privacy is of prime importance to us. As providers of
medical services to you, we are committed to maintaining
the confidentiality of your personal medical information,
while still being able to provide you with the professional
service you have become accustomed to. We have described
below the way that we deal with your personal information
in keeping with the professional standards of confidentiality
of our profession.
Sources of Nonpublic Personal Information We Collect
We collect nonpublic personal information about you that
is provided to us by you directly or indirectly:
- In
writing via regular mail, email or over the Internet.
- Verbally
via the phone or personal conferences.
- From
third parties, with your authorization.
- From
transactions with our affiliates or us.
Parties
to Whom We Disclose Information
We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information
obtained in the course of our practice except as required
or permitted by law.
Permitted disclosure of your nonpublic personal information
is restricted to employees and other parties who need
to know that information to assist us in providing services
to you. In all such situations, we stress the confidential
nature of information being shared and that they are
bound either by our professional standards of confidentiality
or nondisclosure agreements where applicable.
Protecting the Confidentiality and Security of Nonpublic

We retain records relating to professional services

guard your nonpublic personal information, we maintain
physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that
comply with our professional standards.
Your privacy, our professional ethics, and the ability
to provide you with quality medical services are very
important to us. Please contact us if you have any questions
