Health information we create or receive while providing your dental care is protected under federal law (HIPAA) and is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. If this policy and the Notice of Privacy Practices ever conflict about your health information, the Notice of Privacy Practices controls.

Information collected automatically: like most websites, our hosting provider and the services described below may automatically receive technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit and the page that referred you.
Please do not include detailed medical information in website forms. If you need to share health details, call our office at (305) 266-0341.
