- Follow-up communications after your visit
We do not use this channel for promotional or marketing content without your explicit consent.

When you provide your mobile number to us, you consent to receive text messages related to your care. The information you share through this system may be used to:
- Coordinate appointments and services
- Support your treatment experience
- Facilitate timely and efficient communication with our team
All data transmitted via Textel is handled in accordance with HIPAA regulations and industry-standard privacy and security practices.
Your Consent and Options

You can opt out of text messaging at any time by replying STOP to any message. Please note that opting out may limit our ability to communicate with you efficiently about your appointments or treatment.
Data Protection
We take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Our text messaging platform is integrated via Meevo and powered by Textel, both of which adhere to strict security standards designed to protect health information.
