Messages we send

All messages are transactional and relate only to the recipient's own appointment:

We do not send marketing or promotional messages. Message frequency varies based on the patient's own appointment activity. Message and data rates may apply.

How patients consent to receive messages

Consent is collected verbally during a phone call, or in writing during a WhatsApp conversation, at the moment the patient asks to schedule an appointment. There is no web form and no pre-checked box; the patient must actively agree.

Before any number is stored, the assistant reads this disclosure aloud or sends it:

English: “I can send your appointment confirmation by text message to this number. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help. Our privacy policy and terms are on our website. Is that okay?”
Español: “Te puedo mandar la confirmación de tu cita por mensaje de texto a este número. Pueden aplicar tarifas de mensajes y datos. La frecuencia de mensajes varía. Responde STOP para cancelar, HELP para ayuda. Nuestra política de privacidad y términos están en nuestro sitio web. ¿Está bien?”

The patient's number is stored only after they answer yes. Declining does not affect their ability to schedule an appointment or receive care. We never purchase, rent, import, or otherwise acquire phone numbers from any third party.

Documented opt-in process

The complete opt-in process — including the live web opt-in form with its unchecked consent checkbox, and the exact verbal disclosure script in English and Spanish — is documented at SMS Opt-In Process.
