For your protection, we cannot answer any personal information about your medical condition via this web site. We would be happy to answer any general questions you may have about our services, our physicians or our general knowledge of a particular disease or medical condition; however, our response to your telephone calls or e-mails concerning our general services or resources should not be interpreted as a recommendation for specific treatment or diagnosis of a medical condition.
Privacy
We respect all our patients’ and prospective patients’ privacy. Unless required for law enforcement purposes or otherwise required by statute, we will not share any information you supply to us via this Site with any other outside, unaffiliated entity without your consent.

For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of users of the Site and the most frequented resource pages.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to work with third parties who provide services that may include, but are not necessarily limited to, website hosting, data analysis, hosted e-mail and other administrative and technical services that assist us in maintaining the Site. In the event that we elect to work with third parties for these purposes, we reserve the right to share information you supply to us with such third parties, but only to the extent necessary for the provision of such services.

We want each Site visitor to find useful information about the services of The American Center for Spine & Neurosurgery, LLC and its physicians. In working toward that goal, we may count our visitors and keep track of which pages our visitors select throughout the Site. To do this, we must use software called a “cookie.” The “cookie” maintains numbers in aggregate form and does not obtain personal information about any of our visitors. This information helps us know what sections of our Site are visited frequently so we can continue to provide relevant information of most use to our users.
