Privacy Notice .

This notice covers both the personal information our practice handles in the course of care and the information collected through this website, yasmehspine.com. It is a summary — for the practice's complete HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, contact our office.

When you contact our office, request an appointment, or receive care, we collect personal information such as your name, contact details, demographic information, insurance information, and protected health information (PHI) related to your evaluation and treatment.

Through this website, the only personal information we receive is what you choose to send us — for example, your name, contact details, and message when you use the contact form (which sends through your own email application) or email us directly. Please do not include detailed medical information in website messages; email is not a secure channel.

We use your information to coordinate care, schedule appointments, process insurance claims, communicate with you about your visits, and provide follow-up care. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We maintain physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to protect your information consistent with HIPAA and applicable state law. Access to your records is restricted to authorized personnel.

We may share your information with: other healthcare providers involved in your care, your insurance carrier for billing, our business associates who help operate the practice, and as required by law. You may request a copy of your records at any time.

You have the right to access your medical records, request corrections, request restrictions on certain uses, request confidential communications, and receive an accounting of disclosures. Contact our office for a copy of our full Notice of Privacy Practices.

This website does not currently use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics. The interactive map on our Locations page is provided by Google Maps, which may set its own cookies when the map loads; Google's handling of that data is described in the Google Privacy Policy. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time without losing access to this site. If we add analytics tools in the future, we will update this notice.

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website. Health information for minor patients is collected in the course of care with a parent or guardian and is protected under HIPAA like all other patient records.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you submitted through this website by calling (323) 264-7600 or emailing info@yasmehspine.com. Medical records are subject to retention requirements under HIPAA and California law and generally cannot be deleted on request, but you may always request copies, corrections, and restrictions as described above.

For privacy questions, contact our office at (323) 264-7600 or info@yasmehspine.com. See also our Terms of Use.
