The information provided on this website is intended to help visitors learn about Cleveland Primecare, our providers, and the healthcare and wellness services that may be available through our practice. Please read this disclaimer carefully before using this website.

General Information Only

The information presented on this website, including text, graphics, images, videos, articles, blog posts, downloadable materials, testimonials, and links, is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

Website content is not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as:

• Medical advice;
• A medical diagnosis;
• A treatment recommendation;
• A prescription or medication instruction;
• A substitute for an examination or consultation with a qualified healthcare professional; or
• A substitute for emergency, urgent, primary, specialty, psychiatric, or hospital care.

Health information must be interpreted in the context of an individual’s medical history, symptoms, medications, examination findings, laboratory results, diagnoses, and personal circumstances.

Do not disregard, delay, begin, stop, or modify medical treatment based solely on information contained on this website.

No Provider-Patient Relationship

Viewing this website, downloading information, submitting a contact form, requesting an appointment, subscribing to communications, participating in a complimentary consultation, or communicating with Cleveland Primecare through ordinary email, text message, social media, or another general website feature does not, by itself, create a physician-patient, provider-patient, clinician-patient, or other professional healthcare relationship.

A professional relationship is established only after Cleveland Primecare or an appropriate provider has:

1. Accepted you as a patient or client;
2. Completed any required clinical evaluation;
3. Obtained the necessary registration documents, consents, agreements, and health information; and
4. Agreed to provide specific healthcare or wellness services to you.

Submitting information through this website does not guarantee that Cleveland Primecare will accept you as a patient, offer a particular treatment, prescribe a medication, or provide the service you request.

Medical Emergencies

This website and its contact forms are not emergency communication systems and are not continuously monitored.

Do not use this website, email, portal messages, social media, or online scheduling tools to report an emergency or request immediate medical assistance.

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency:

• Call 911 immediately;
• Go to the nearest emergency department; or
• Contact an appropriate emergency medical service.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, or a mental health crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If there is an immediate danger of harm, call 911.

Website Communications and Privacy

Do not submit highly sensitive medical information through a general website contact form, ordinary email, social media message, or other communication method that has not been designated by Cleveland Primecare as secure.

Electronic communications may be delayed, misdirected, accessed by unauthorized persons, or affected by technical problems. Sending a message does not guarantee that it has been received, reviewed, or answered.

Established patients should use Cleveland Primecare’s approved secure patient portal or call the office for questions related to their care. Additional information regarding the collection, use, and protection of information is available in our Privacy Policy and Notice of Privacy Practices.

Functional Medicine, Naturopathic, Nutrition, and Wellness Information

Information concerning functional medicine, naturopathic principles, nutrition, supplements, herbs, lifestyle practices, laboratory testing, stress management, exercise, sleep, metabolic health, digestive health, hormone health, or other wellness topics is provided for educational purposes.

Functional medicine and naturopathic wellness services do not replace primary care, emergency care, hospital care, psychiatric care, or evaluation by an appropriately licensed medical specialist.

Nutritional supplements, herbs, dietary changes, exercise programs, and other wellness strategies may produce side effects, allergic reactions, medication interactions, laboratory changes, or other unintended effects. Products or strategies that are appropriate for one person may be inappropriate or unsafe for another.

Consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional before beginning, discontinuing, or changing any medication, supplement, dietary program, exercise program, or health treatment.

The credentials, licenses, certifications, education, and permitted scope of practice of Cleveland Primecare team members may differ. Patients may ask which provider will be responsible for a particular service and the professional role in which that provider will be acting.

Prescription Medications and Spravato®

Information about prescription medications, including Spravato® or esketamine, is provided for general education and does not constitute a prescription, treatment recommendation, or determination that a medication is appropriate for you.

Prescription treatment requires an appropriate clinical evaluation, review of risks and benefits, eligibility determination, informed consent, and ongoing supervision by an authorized healthcare provider.

Information on this website should not be interpreted as a representation that Spravato® or another treatment will prevent suicide, eliminate suicidal thoughts, or make emergency or hospital care unnecessary. Individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts, worsening depression, or immediate safety concerns should seek prompt professional or emergency assistance.

Medication indications, warnings, contraindications, and prescribing information may change. Patients should rely on the instructions provided by their treating clinician and the current medication guide or prescribing information.

Direct Primary Care

Cleveland Primecare’s Direct Primary Care program is not health insurance and is not a substitute for health insurance.

Direct Primary Care membership does not cover every healthcare expense or service. Patients may still need health insurance or other financial arrangements for services such as:

• Emergency care;
• Hospitalization;
• Specialist care;
• Surgery;
• Imaging;
• Laboratory testing;
• Prescription medications; and
• Services provided outside Cleveland Primecare.

Specific benefits, exclusions, fees, cancellation requirements, and other membership terms are governed by the applicable written Direct Primary Care membership agreement. In the event of a conflict between this website and a signed membership agreement, the signed agreement will control.

MedSpa and Aesthetic Services

Information concerning aesthetic, cosmetic, skincare, injectable, or MedSpa services is provided for general informational purposes.

Every procedure involves potential risks, side effects, limitations, contraindications, and recovery considerations. A consultation is required to determine whether a particular service is appropriate.

Photographs, testimonials, and descriptions of results are illustrative only. Individual outcomes vary, and no particular aesthetic or clinical result is promised or guaranteed.

No Guarantee of Results

Medicine, wellness care, functional medicine, and aesthetic services involve individual biological responses and uncertainties. Cleveland Primecare does not guarantee that any service, treatment, medication, supplement, program, procedure, or recommendation will produce a particular result.

Statements describing possible benefits, expected outcomes, patient experiences, or typical timelines should not be interpreted as promises or guarantees.

Testimonials reflect the personal experiences and opinions of individual patients or clients. They do not establish that every person will have the same experience or outcome.

Accuracy and Timeliness

Cleveland Primecare makes reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information. However, medical knowledge, clinical recommendations, medication information, service availability, pricing, laws, regulations, and professional standards may change.

We do not represent or warrant that all website information is complete, current, error-free, or appropriate for every person or circumstance. Cleveland Primecare may add, remove, correct, or update website content without notice.

Pricing, appointment availability, program features, provider availability, and service descriptions displayed on this website are subject to change. Contact the office to confirm current information before making a healthcare or financial decision.
