Accessibility
Statement

Our Commitment

We want this website to work for everyone, including people who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation or voice control software.

Our goal is conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the internationally recognized standard for digital accessibility.

What We Have Done

In building and maintaining this site, we have made the following efforts toward accessibility:

• Semantic HTML structure throughout: headings, landmarks and lists used for their meaning, not for decoration
• Descriptive alt text on all meaningful images, including before and after photographs
• Sufficient color contrast between text and background across all pages
• Keyboard navigation: every interactive element can be reached and used without a mouse
• Focus indicators on interactive elements for keyboard and assistive technology users
• Responsive design that adapts to all screen sizes and orientations
• No content that flashes more than three times per second
• Link text that describes its destination rather than relying on generic phrases

Known Limitations

While we work toward full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, some areas of this site may not yet meet every criterion. Known areas we are actively working to improve include:

• Some older journal articles may contain images without complete alt text descriptions
• Third-party tools embedded in this site, including our scheduling and financing calculators, follow their providers' accessibility standards, which are outside our direct control
• Video content, if present, may not yet include full captions or audio descriptions

We are working on these areas.

Third-Party Tools

This website uses third-party services including scheduling tools, financing calculators, and analytics platforms. While we select partners with accessibility in mind, we cannot guarantee that all third-party content fully meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards. If a third-party tool creates a barrier for you, please contact us and we will do our best to give you the information or service another way.

Alternative Ways to Reach Us

If any part of this website is hard for you to use, call or email us and a member of our team will help you directly.

We can provide information about our procedures, Dr. Schwartz's background, financing options and the consultation process in whatever format works best for you.

Feedback & Reporting a Barrier

If you find a page that is difficult to navigate, an image without a description, a form that cannot be completed with a keyboard, or anything else that keeps you from using this site, please let us know.

When you report a barrier, please include the URL of the page where you encountered it and a brief description of what you were trying to do. We will review every report and respond within five business days.

Ongoing Review

This statement is reviewed and updated periodically to reflect the current state of the site. As we add new content and features, we assess them against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria before publication. The date at the top of this page reflects when this statement was last reviewed.
