Your privacy is important to us, and we take it seriously.

This Notice of Privacy Practices presents the information that federal law requires us to give our patients regarding our privacy practices.

Beginning April 14, 2003, we must provide this Notice to each patient beginning no later than the date of our first service delivery to the patient, including service delivered electronically. We must make a good-faith attempt to obtain written acknowledgement of receipt of the Notice from the patient. We must also have the Notice available at the office for patients to request to take with them.

You may view and print a copy of this Notice of Privacy Practices form as well as the Acknowledgement of Receipt of the Notice forms from this website. If you wish, you may also fill out the printed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Notice form and bring it with you at your next appointment. For our patients with dependent children, you may list all their names on the one form and sign it. That one form will be sufficient for all your dependent children listed on the form.
