Terms & Conditions

Using this website

These terms address the Washington Vascular Specialists website and its informational and contact features. Please read them together with the Practice Privacy Policy and form privacy notice.

The website helps visitors learn about the practice and care options. It is not an online emergency service, a clinical diagnosis tool, or a guarantee of access to a particular service.

Health information and professional advice

Articles and care pages provide general education. Your circumstances may require a different evaluation or treatment. Consult an appropriately qualified professional about decisions affecting your health, legal rights, or finances. Do not delay care because of something you read here.

Reading a page or making a website inquiry does not by itself create a clinician-patient relationship. For a medical emergency, call 911. For an office question, call 301-891-2500.

Contact and appointment requests

After sending is configured, a contact or appointment form will request office follow-up. A preferred date or provider is a preference, not a reservation. A visit is confirmed only when the office confirms it. Response times, coverage, and availability are not guaranteed by the form.

Provide details for yourself or someone you are authorized to assist. An appointment requester acknowledges that they are at least 18 and authorized to make the request; an authorized adult may contact the office on another person’s behalf. Optional email and comments are intended for the stated request. They are not a clinical intake record or permission for marketing messages.

Responsible use

Use the site lawfully and respect other people’s safety, privacy, and intellectual property. Do not use it to threaten, harass, impersonate, deceive, defame, or send unlawful, discriminatory, or abusive material.

Do not submit spam, unsolicited advertising, chain messages, or material you lack permission to share. Do not collect someone else’s contact information without authorization, remove ownership notices to misrepresent content, or use another person’s identity for a request.

Protecting the website

Do not attempt to access private data, bypass safeguards, introduce malware, interfere with availability, or use automation to overwhelm the website or its services. Do not try to obtain files or information through access methods that have not been made available to you.

WVS may restrict misuse and address service problems within its lawful authority. These terms do not promise uninterrupted access or prevent reasonable maintenance and security changes.

Messages and communication features

The Contact Us comments field is for a general question to the office after delivery is activated. Keep comments relevant and leave out private medical, payment, or insurance identifiers. The website currently provides no public forum, community profile, public chat room, or visitor file-upload service.

If a new communication feature is added, its purpose, moderation, permitted content, access rules, and privacy handling must be described before use. Existing terms about a feature do not mean that feature is available. Material sent through an approved feature must respect the rights of its owners and the restrictions applicable to it.

Links to other websites

External resources are offered to help visitors find information. WVS does not operate those sites or control their updates, availability, content, or transmissions. A link is not a guarantee of another organization’s services or an endorsement of every statement it makes. Review that site’s terms and privacy information before using it.

Accuracy, availability, and outcomes

Website content can contain errors or become outdated. Confirm details such as office information, insurance participation, services, and scheduling with the practice. Educational content and illustrations should not be interpreted as a promise of a treatment result.

The website and its information are provided as available, without a promise of uninterrupted access. To the extent permitted by applicable law, WVS disclaims warranties concerning this website, including accuracy, suitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. These terms do not replace an agreement for clinical services or a professional’s obligations to a patient.

Limitations and rights

To the extent permitted by applicable law, WVS and its website service providers disclaim liability for direct or indirect losses arising from errors, interruptions, delays, unavailability, or reliance on general website information. This limitation concerns use of the website; it is not a waiver of rights relating to medical treatment.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability or limits a right where doing so is prohibited by law. If you do not wish to use the website, you may stop using it and contact the practice by phone. Choosing not to use the website does not, by itself, waive other rights you may have.

Content, trademarks, and permissions

Practice names, logos, photographs, articles, illustrations, and other materials may be protected by ownership rights or licenses. Their display on the website does not grant a general license to reuse them, imply that WVS owns every third-party asset, or transfer the rights of another owner. Contact the practice about permission to reuse material.

Third-party names and trademarks remain associated with their respective owners. Where an image is illustrative, it should not be read as evidence of a particular patient’s result.

Changes to the website and terms

WVS may update the website and the terms that describe it. Check this page for changes. Material changes will be handled with notice where required. A website notice does not, by itself, alter separately agreed clinical or payment arrangements.
