Notice of Privacy ~Practices~

This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.

Our Duties

We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information, to give you this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to follow the terms of the notice currently in effect. We are also required to notify you if a breach affects your unsecured protected health information.

How We May Use and Disclose Your Information

For Treatment

We use your health information to plan and provide your care. That includes your medical history, your medications, your allergies and your progress photographs, all of which inform which treatments are safe and appropriate for you.

For Payment

We may use and disclose your information to obtain payment for services provided to you, including processing a card payment or resolving a billing question.

For Health Care Operations

We may use your information to run the practice, review the quality of care we provide, and train or evaluate staff.

As Required by Law

We will disclose your information when required to do so by federal, state or local law, including for public health activities, reports of abuse or neglect, health oversight activities, judicial proceedings, and law enforcement purposes where the law requires it.

Uses That Require Your Written Authorization

Most uses and disclosures beyond treatment, payment and health care operations require your written authorization. In particular, any use of your photographs for marketing, on this website or on social media requires a separate written authorization that names the specific use. You may revoke that authorization at any time in writing, and we will stop the future use, although we cannot retrieve a disclosure already made.

We will never sell your protected health information.
