In addition to our commitment to safeguarding your privacy, we also take the protection of patient images seriously. We will only use a patient's image of their foot after obtaining verbal or written consent. Patient privacy is paramount, and we will never use a patient's face, name, or other identifiable information. The purpose of using patient images is for documentation and educational purposes to help showcase pathology to other patients seeking similar assistance. We urge all visitors to respect patient images and privacy by refraining from using them without explicit consent.

Thank you for entrusting us with your privacy. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection and ensuring a secure online experience for all our visitors.
