Effective Date: 12/15/2025
Thank you for visiting our website. We value your trust and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Website Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected in connection with this website.
1. Scope of This Policy
This Website Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through this website. It does not replace or modify your rights under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA), the Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR), or other applicable privacy laws.
This website is not intended for the transmission of Protected Health Information (PHI). Please do not submit medical, genetic, or other sensitive health information through this website.
Email communications are not encrypted by default. Patients should avoid sending medical, genetic, or other sensitive information via unencrypted email. If a patient chooses to communicate medical information by email after being informed of the risks, such communication may be permitted at the patient's request or authorization; however, encrypted email may not always be available. Whenever possible, patients are strongly encouraged to use the secure patient portal for all clinical communications. Protected Health Information is collected and managed primarily through our secure patient portal, which is governed by its own privacy and security practices.

At this time, we do not actively collect personal information through this website. The information described below applies only if and when data collection features are implemented in the future.

5. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information associated with this website. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
