Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to remember things between pages or visits — for example, that you’re logged in. They can’t run programs or read files on your device.

Cookies this website uses

• Essential cookies. Set by WordPress, the software that runs this site, to make basic features work — for example, remembering a comment form entry or keeping clinic staff logged in to manage the site. These are strictly necessary and don’t track you across other websites.
• Preference cookies. If we add a language choice (English/Español), a cookie may remember your selection so you don’t have to pick it on every visit.
• Basic visit statistics. If we measure site traffic, we use privacy-respecting, first-party counting only (for example, which pages are read most). We do not use advertising pixels or third-party ad trackers anywhere on this site.

What we never do

• We never store health information in cookies. Medical questions, records, results, and appointments live in the secure patient portal, which is protected under HIPAA.
• We never sell or share cookie data with advertisers.
• We never use cookies to build a profile of your health interests based on the pages you read.

Third-party content

Some pages embed a Google Map to help you find the clinic. When the map loads, Google may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy. The patient portal (eClinicalWorks healow) is a separate, secure service with its own cookie practices; we link to it, but it isn’t part of this website.

How to control cookies

You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings (usually under Privacy or Site settings in Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox). Blocking essential cookies may affect small conveniences, but every page on this website remains readable without any cookies at all.
