These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of this website (the "Site"), operated by Alexandra Channing MD, P.C., doing business as Coeur Pediatric Cardiology ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Informational Purpose Only

The content on this Site is provided for general informational purposes about our practice and services. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. Reviewing this Site does not create a physician-patient relationship. A physician-patient relationship is established only through a formal intake and consultation process, not through your use of the Site.

2. No Medical Advice; No Emergencies

Nothing on this Site should be relied upon for diagnosis or treatment. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here. If you think you or your child may have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Do not use this Site or any contact form to communicate urgent or emergency medical concerns.

3. Scheduling and Patient Communications

Appointment scheduling and clinical communications are handled through our separate, secure electronic health record and patient portal system (the "Portal"), which you may reach by following the booking link on this Site. The Portal is operated under its own terms and privacy practices, and any health information you provide through it is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable law, not by these Terms. The contact form on this Site is intended only for general, non-urgent inquiries and should not be used to transmit detailed health information.

Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that party's terms.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Site. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. These Terms govern only your use of the Site; any liability arising from the provision of professional medical services is governed by applicable law and by our patient agreements, not by these Terms.
