1. Collected Information I collect information that you voluntarily provide to me, such as name, email address, phone number, and any information you submit via contact forms, appointment requests, or intake forms.
- Website Usage Data: Like most websites, I may use cookies or analytics tools to understand how visitors use my site, such as pages visited and time spent, but this is generally non-identifiable data.

3. Data Protection and Security I implement, and maintain, reasonable, commercially acceptable security procedures—such as encryption—to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet-based service is 100% secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.

- Confidentiality: I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
- Service Providers: I may share information with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., secure EHR systems, website hosts) who assist me in operating the site, provided they agree to keep this information confidential.
