Clinic Accessibility

Our clinic is designed to be welcoming and accessible. Features include wheelchair-accessible entrances and exam rooms, visual notification systems, assistive listening devices available on request, and staff trained to communicate clearly with patients who have hearing or balance concerns. If you have specific accessibility needs, please let us know when scheduling your appointment so we can ensure your visit is comfortable.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some third-party integrations, such as patient portal platforms or online payment systems, may not fully conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We actively monitor these services and advocate for improvements with our technology partners.

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly audit our website, train our staff, and update our practices to ensure we meet or exceed accessibility standards. Our goal is to provide an inclusive experience for every patient and visitor.
