VIII. Text Message (SMS) Communications
If you check the text-message box on our appointment or booking forms, you are giving express written consent for Sergay Dermatology to send you text messages at the mobile number you provided. Those messages cover your appointment request, appointment reminders and scheduling changes, and replies from our team.
Consent is entirely optional and is never a condition of receiving care, scheduling an appointment, or any purchase. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving texts, or HELP for assistance. You may also ask our office to remove you at any time.
We do not share or sell mobile information. Mobile phone numbers collected for text messaging, and consent to receive text messages, are never shared with or sold to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Numbers are shared only with the messaging service providers that deliver the texts on our behalf, and only for that purpose.
