Terms of Service

Effective date: September 8, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the NorCal Integrity Surgery website. By using the website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

Educational Information Only

The website provides general educational information about digestive, abdominal, foregut, and surgical conditions, procedures, testing, recovery, insurance, and related topics. Website content is not medical advice, a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation, or a substitute for an evaluation by a qualified clinician.

Medical information can change, and website content may not apply to your individual health history, symptoms, medications, test results, or goals. Do not delay seeking care because of information on this website.

No Physician-Patient Relationship

Using this website, reading its content, watching a video, submitting a contact form, or requesting an appointment does not create a physician-patient relationship with Dr. Colin Dunn or NorCal Integrity Surgery. A physician-patient relationship begins only when the practice has accepted you as a patient and you have completed the required clinical and administrative steps.

Emergencies and Urgent Care

This website is not monitored for emergencies. If you believe you have a medical emergency, call 911 or seek emergency care immediately. Do not use a website form, email, or social-media message for urgent symptoms.

Appointment Requests and Communications

An appointment request is a request for contact, not a confirmed appointment. The practice may need additional information before scheduling or may determine that a different provider, setting, or service is more appropriate. Use secure methods designated by the practice for patient-specific health information.

No Guarantees or Outcomes Promised

Individual results vary. Any discussion of symptoms, testing, treatment options, recovery, or outcomes is general information and does not promise a particular clinical, financial, insurance, scheduling, or recovery result.

Permitted Use

You may use the website for lawful, personal, and informational purposes. You may not interfere with website operation, attempt unauthorized access, transmit harmful code, scrape or republish content at scale without permission, misrepresent an affiliation with the practice, or violate applicable law.

Intellectual Property

The website's text, design, graphics, photographs, videos, logos, and other content are owned by or used with permission by NorCal Integrity Surgery and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view and print content for personal, non-commercial use. Other uses require prior written permission unless permitted by law.

Third-Party Content and Links

The website may link to third-party websites or include embedded content, including YouTube videos. These services are provided for convenience and education. NorCal Integrity Surgery does not control third-party content, availability, privacy practices, or terms.

Website Availability and Disclaimer

We aim to keep the website accurate and available, but do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, current, or suitable for every purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NorCal Integrity Surgery and its clinicians, employees, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for damages arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, this website or reliance on its general information. This limitation does not apply where prohibited by law.

Privacy

Your use of the website is also subject to the Privacy Policy. If you are a patient, your medical information is addressed by the practice's separate Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable law.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where federal law applies. Any dispute related to the website will be handled in the appropriate state or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the most recent revision.
