Electronic Communication & Online Inquiry Disclaimer
Last Updated: June 2026
Purpose of Online Forms
The online forms provided by DeLuca Plastic Surgery, including Consultation Requests, Instant Estimate Requests, Contact Forms, and other electronic inquiries, are intended solely to facilitate communication regarding our services and scheduling. Use of these forms is voluntary.
Medical Emergencies
Do not use these forms to communicate medical emergencies or urgent medical concerns.
- If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately or go to the nearest emergency department.
- If you have an urgent medical concern, contact your primary care physician or the appropriate healthcare provider without delay.
- Messages submitted through this website may not be reviewed immediately and should never be relied upon for emergency or time-sensitive medical care.
No Physician-Patient Relationship
Submitting an online form, sending an email, uploading photographs, or receiving a response from DeLuca Plastic Surgery does not establish a physician-patient relationship. A physician-patient relationship is established only after an appropriate evaluation by one of our providers and mutual agreement to provide care.
No Medical Advice
Information provided through our website, email, or other electronic communications is for general informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Any recommendations, comments, or educational information provided electronically are based solely on the information submitted and may be incomplete or inaccurate without an in-person medical evaluation.
Instant Estimates and Photograph Submissions
If you submit photographs or request an Instant Estimate:
- Any estimate, comments, or recommendations are preliminary.
- Photographs cannot replace an in-person examination.
- Lighting, image quality, camera angle, positioning, and incomplete medical history may significantly affect the assessment.
- Any estimate provided is not a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, guarantee of candidacy, or guarantee of pricing.
- Final recommendations, treatment plans, and fees can only be determined after an appropriate consultation and examination.

By submitting an online form, you authorize DeLuca Plastic Surgery to communicate with you using the email address, telephone number, or other contact information you provide. These communications may include information related to your inquiry, appointment scheduling, treatment options, and other healthcare-related matters.
Consent to Electronic Transmission of Health Information
By using these forms, you acknowledge and consent to receiving communications that may contain Protected Health Information (PHI) through electronic means, including email.
Although DeLuca Plastic Surgery takes reasonable measures to safeguard your information, electronic communications may not always be secure. Risks include interception, misdelivery, unauthorized access, delays in transmission, or technical failures beyond our control.
If you prefer not to communicate electronically, please contact our office by telephone.
Privacy
Please avoid submitting highly sensitive personal or medical information unless it is reasonably necessary for your request.
Your information will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws and our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Response Time
While we strive to respond promptly, we cannot guarantee that messages will be reviewed or answered within any specific period of time. Response times may vary depending on weekends, holidays, office hours, provider availability, and message volume.
Accuracy of Submitted Information
You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and complete. Inaccurate or incomplete information may affect our ability to respond appropriately.
