The information provided by Fallbrook Podiatry Inc. on fallbrookfootdoctor.com (the “Site”) is for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge and agree to this Disclaimer. If you do not agree, please refrain from using our Site.

We strive to present accurate, up-to-date health information related to podiatry (foot and ankle care), but we make no guarantees that the content is error-free or appropriate for every individual. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for personal medical advice.

No Doctor-Patient Relationship

No doctor-patient relationship is formed by using this Site. Communication through this website, such as sending us a message via a contact form or email, does not create a physician-patient or doctor-patient relationship between you and Fallbrook Podiatry Inc. or any of our doctors.

Engaging with our content, receiving a response to an inquiry, or subscribing to any communications from us does not mean we have established a formal medical relationship. An actual doctor-patient relationship with Fallbrook Podiatry Inc. is only formed after you visit our office for an examination or treatment, sign the appropriate consent forms, and we mutually agree to undertake diagnosis and treatment. Until that occurs, you should not consider any information or communication from the Site as personalized medical advice.

Informational Purposes Only – Not Medical Advice

All health and medical information on this Site, including text, graphics, images, videos, and other materials, is provided for general informational purposes only. While we may discuss common podiatric conditions, treatment options, preventative care, or share tips for healthy feet, this information is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

• No Diagnosis or Treatment Online: We do not provide diagnoses or treatment recommendations through this Site or via email. Any descriptions of medical conditions or treatments are general in nature. Your personal health situation is unique, and any specific questions you have about a medical condition should be directed to a licensed podiatrist or other appropriate healthcare provider in person.

• Not a Substitute for Professional Care: Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking treatment because of something you read on this website. If you have pain, symptoms, or a health concern regarding your feet or ankles, we strongly urge you to consult with us directly by scheduling an appointment, or seek care from your own doctor or urgent care facility as appropriate. Reliance on any information provided on the Site is solely at your own risk.

No Emergency or Urgent Medical Services

The Site is not intended for use in medical emergencies or time-sensitive health issues. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency or a serious health problem (for example, signs of infection, severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or any condition that requires immediate attention), do not use this website to seek help. Call 911 immediately or go to the nearest emergency room. Fallbrook Podiatry Inc. cannot address emergency situations through a website inquiry or email, and we cannot guarantee any particular response time to online requests.

Similarly, for urgent concerns that are not life-threatening but still require prompt attention (such as an acute injury or severe pain), it is best to call our office directly at (760) 728-4800 or contact an appropriate medical facility rather than relying on electronic communication. There may be delays in us receiving or responding to messages sent via the Site.

Email and Electronic Communications

Any communications you receive from Fallbrook Podiatry Inc. in response to an inquiry (or if you have subscribed to a newsletter or mailing list) are also covered by this Disclaimer:

• General Recommendations Only: From time to time, we may send educational materials, general foot care tips, or reminders via email. These messages are meant for general wellness education and do not constitute personalized medical advice. Receiving an email from us with a foot care tip or a recommendation to consider a certain type of product (for example, orthotic inserts or proper footwear) should be interpreted as informational suggestions for you to discuss with a healthcare provider, not specific instructions tailored to your personal medical needs.

• No Treatment by Email: We cannot diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or provide detailed medical opinions by email or other electronic means unless you are an established patient and such communication is part of your ongoing care plan (and even then, sensitive discussions would typically be done through secure, approved channels). Unsolicited emails describing your medical condition will not result in a diagnosis or treatment plan. We will usually ask you to schedule an in-person consultation for any specific medical questions or concerns.

• Privacy of Email Communication: While we strive to keep your communications private (see our Privacy Policy), standard email may not be secure. If you choose to email us, understand that there are risks regarding confidentiality over the Internet. Please avoid sharing sensitive information through email. Additionally, any advice or information we do provide via email is still subject to this general Disclaimer and is not a substitute for an in-person evaluation.

No Warranties or Guarantees of Accuracy

The medical and health information on our Site is provided “as is” without any representations or warranties, express or implied. While we endeavor to keep the information updated and correct, Fallbrook Podiatry Inc. makes no assurances that all information on this Site is completely accurate, comprehensive, or up-to-date.

Medical knowledge is constantly evolving, and information that was accurate at the time of posting may become outdated over time. We do not guarantee that the content will always include the most recent findings or developments. No guarantees or warranties are made regarding any of the information on the Site, including but not limited to the accuracy, relevance, or quality of the information.

Additionally, while patient testimonials or success stories might be shared on the Site (for example, experiences of relief from foot pain under our care), these are individual results. Individual results will vary. Any specific outcome mentioned is not guaranteed for all patients.

Not an Offer of Service or Telehealth

Use of this Site or communication with us through the Site should not be interpreted as an offer to provide medical services outside of our standard practice procedures. We provide professional podiatry services only within our licensed jurisdiction and typically in our office setting (or through officially sanctioned telehealth means when applicable and by prior arrangement, compliant with relevant laws). The Site itself is for information and communication but does not itself provide medical treatment or telehealth services. We do not offer diagnoses or prescriptions simply through an online interaction on this Site.

For example, no prescriptions will be provided solely from an inquiry or request made through the Site or via email. Prescription medications, treatment plans, and medical interventions are provided only after proper medical evaluation by our doctors (in person or via a formal telemedicine platform, if we arrange that separately in compliance with law). Any mention of a treatment or medication on the Site is not an endorsement or suggestion that you should pursue it without proper medical guidance.

External Links and Endorsements

As a convenience to our visitors, our Site may reference or link to other websites (for example, articles about foot health, product information, or professional associations). Fallbrook Podiatry Inc. is not responsible for the content of external sites and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of information on those sites. Including a link or reference does not imply endorsement of the linked site, its content, or its owner, and it does not imply any relationship between Fallbrook Podiatry Inc. and the third party.

Any products, services, or treatments mentioned on third-party sites are outside of our control. If we mention or recommend a particular type of product (like a certain brand of orthotics or foot care product) in our content, it is for informational purposes only and not an official endorsement or warranty of effectiveness. Always use your own judgment and/or consult a professional before following advice or purchasing products from third-party sources.

This includes, but is not limited to, liability for any errors or omissions in the content, any loss or damage of any kind you might incur as a result of the use of any content posted, emailed, or otherwise made available via the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
