Pediatric Care North Inc

The goal of our social media presence is to spread awareness of our services and distribute helpful, relevant information.

However, social media usage (including sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and YouTube) is not intended to be a valid form of practicing medicine. The posts and comments which Pediatric Care North shares on social media pages--though intended to be generally informative--should not be considered a substitute for consultation with a qualified medical professional. Interaction with Pediatric Care North by other social media users does not indicate or establish a doctor-patient relationship.

Pediatric Care North's use of social media sites and/or links to third party sites, shared via social media, does not constitute or imply any relationship or endorsement.

We have a strong dedication to protecting patient privacy.

In accordance with our own internal policies and federal laws including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), we will never disclose any patient information.

Please use discretion before posting any information on a social media site as it is on the Internet forever.

Self-disclosure, by the patient, of personal health information--including but not limited to: patient contact information, doctor-patient relationships, any medical condition or treatment, or prescription information--is both legal and at the discretion the individual patient, but please be aware that comments on a social media site may constitute such a self-disclosure.

To discuss the specifics of your medical situation, call our office to schedule an appointment.

Pediatric Care North reserves the right to moderate all social media forums according to our internal standards and policies and the right to change internal policies without notice.

Pediatric Care North will ignore and/or delete all inquiries or discussions about specific symptoms, treatments, diagnoses, prescriptions, etc. which originate from patients or prospective patients on social media sites, even if such communication comes in the form of personal or direct private messages, as most social media sites lack HIPAA-compliant security measures
