6. HIPAA & Medical Information Notice

This website is not intended to be used as a substitute for secure clinical communication.
Although we take reasonable precautions to safeguard information submitted through the website,
online forms, emails, and other website communications may not provide the same protections as
communications conducted through formal clinical systems.

Information submitted through this website may not be treated as protected health information in the
same manner as information collected during direct clinical care. For sensitive medical issues, urgent
concerns, or confidential treatment-related communications, please contact the office directly.

Nothing on this website is intended to alter or limit any legal duties applicable to patient information
that is collected and maintained within the practice’s clinical operations.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect information

10. Medical Disclaimer

All information, photographs, testimonials, case descriptions, videos, and other materials presented on
this website are intended for educational purposes only. They are not intended to present a guarantee or
warranty of any specific cosmetic or surgical result.

Surgical and non-surgical outcomes vary from patient to patient. Individual results depend on many factors,
including anatomy, tissue quality, healing characteristics, lifestyle factors, procedural details, and the
presence or absence of complications. Despite appropriate care and best efforts, complications may occur and
may require additional treatment or surgery.

Before-and-after photographs and patient testimonials appearing on this website are of actual patients of
Dr. William DeLuca and/or Dr. David Tauber, used with appropriate consent. Such images and statements are not
intended to represent typical results, nor do they imply that any other person will achieve the same outcome.
Images may be edited only to obscure personally identifying marks at a patient’s request.

Cosmetic plastic surgery is complex and continually evolving. Information contained on this website may become
outdated and may not reflect the current opinions, techniques, or recommendations of the physicians. The
content of this site is not a guide to treatment and should never replace personal consultation, examination,
assessment, and individualized medical advice from a qualified physician.

Information obtained from this website, including through forms or email communications, does not establish a
physician–patient relationship. A formal consultation with a qualified physician is required to determine
candidacy, risks, alternatives, and individualized treatment recommendations.

While we make reasonable efforts to ensure that website content is accurate and useful, we do not warrant
that any description, statement, or other content on the website is accurate, complete, reliable, current,
or error-free. Medical and surgical practices evolve, and website content may not always reflect the most
recent developments, preferences, or methods used by the practice.
