If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, please discuss your concerns with any staff member. You may also deliver a written complaint to Donna Vesel at our office and/or file a complaint with the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.

To Report Suspected Abuse or Neglect to public authorities.
f. To Correctional Institutions if you are in jail or prison, as necessary for your health and the health and safety of others.

a. If you choose to communicate with us via e-mail, please note that we cannot ensure the confidentiality of the information contained in e-mail messages. For example, most employers have access to employee e-mail content, so if you use your work e-mail, your employer may be able to read the messages sent to/from our office.
b. We encourage the use of e-mail for routine communication, but never for urgent or emergent concerns.
c. E-mail is preferred over SMS (text) messaging as we are required by law to include all correspondence in your medical record. Also, at present, there is no reliable “out of office” function for SMS messaging, and this may create dangerous communication errors.
