  • General practice notifications related to your care or requested services

Message frequency varies depending on your appointments, treatment coordination, and practice communications. Message and data rates may apply.

Information Sharing and Mobile Data Protection

We may engage service providers who process information on our behalf to support practice operations, such as website hosting, appointment scheduling, communications delivery, payment processing, and customer service. These providers are permitted to use information only as needed to provide services to us and not for their own marketing purposes.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors in support services is permitted only as necessary to operate the practice and deliver requested communications.

Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except aggregators and providers of the text message services necessary to deliver the messages you have requested.
