Please read these Terms of Use carefully. These Terms govern your use of this website and any public-facing online information provided by Essam Saad, MD and the affiliated weight management practice referenced on this site.
This website is provided to share general information about physician-supervised obesity medicine, lifestyle medicine, aesthetic and metabolic health services, appointment options, practice policies, and related educational content. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and to any other policies posted on this website, including the Website Privacy Policy, Notice of Privacy Practices, Medical Disclaimer, and Accessibility Statement.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use this website. These Terms apply only to this website and public online content. Separate consent forms, treatment agreements, telehealth disclosures, financial policies, prescription policies, and patient portal terms may apply once you become a patient.
Content on this website is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, does not diagnose any condition, and is not a substitute for professional evaluation, individualized medical judgment, or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional.
Obesity medicine and weight management may involve assessment of medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy status, vital signs, laboratory results, contraindications, comorbidities, behavioral factors, nutrition, physical activity, and ongoing follow-up. No online page can determine whether a medication, dose, program, or treatment plan is safe or appropriate for you.
Viewing this website, submitting a general inquiry, clicking a scheduling link, communicating through non-secure channels, or reading educational content does not create a physician-patient relationship with Essam Saad, MD or the practice.
A physician-patient relationship is established only after the practice accepts you as a patient, obtains appropriate intake information and consents, and a qualified clinician performs an evaluation consistent with applicable law and professional standards. The practice may decline to establish or continue a treatment relationship when clinically, legally, operationally, or ethically appropriate.
This website is not designed for emergencies, urgent symptoms, medication reactions, or time-sensitive medical problems. If you may be experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not use this website, email, website forms, text messages, voicemail, or portal messages for emergency care.
Any discussion of medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists, GIP/GLP-1 medications, oral weight management medications, metformin, or other prescription therapies, is informational only. A prescription is never guaranteed. Medication decisions depend on an individualized medical evaluation, risks and benefits, contraindications, medication availability, pharmacy requirements, insurance coverage, and ongoing clinical monitoring.
Some medications may be FDA-approved for certain indications and not others. Some uses may be considered off-label when a clinician determines that such use is medically appropriate. Off-label use should be discussed directly with a licensed clinician, including expected benefits, known risks, reasonable alternatives, and monitoring.
If compounded medications are discussed or used, patients should understand that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. The practice does not represent that any compounded product is identical to, interchangeable with, or superior to an FDA-approved medication.
This website may include links or embedded tools for appointment requests, patient intake, telehealth, payment, secure messaging, reviews, mapping, analytics, or other third-party services. Those services may have their own terms, privacy policies, accessibility practices, security measures, fees, and technical requirements.
The practice is not responsible for the content, policies, availability, or performance of third-party websites or services that it does not control. A link to a third-party service does not mean the practice endorses every statement, feature, claim, or policy on that third-party site.
Unless a form is clearly labeled as a secure patient portal or secure intake tool, do not submit sensitive medical information, full medical histories, photographs, Social Security numbers, payment card details, or urgent health concerns through general website forms. General website communications may not be encrypted in the same manner as a secure patient portal.
Once you are an accepted patient, protected health information may be handled according to the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable law. The Website Privacy Policy explains how information submitted through this public website may be collected and used.
The practice makes reasonable efforts to keep website information accurate and current, but medical information, medication availability, pricing, staffing, services, laws, insurance rules, and clinical standards can change. The website may contain typographical errors, outdated information, or incomplete descriptions.
The practice may update, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any website content or service description at any time without notice. Continued use of the website after updates are posted means you accept the revised Terms.
Any pricing, membership, package, promotion, or insurance information displayed on this website is general and subject to confirmation. Prices may vary based on dosage, medication availability, visit type, lab needs, pharmacy pricing, follow-up frequency, and the services actually provided. Website information does not guarantee eligibility, insurance coverage, reimbursement, or continued access to a particular medication or program.
Unless otherwise stated, the text, graphics, layout, logos, images, educational materials, and other content on this website are owned by or licensed to the practice and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may view or print a reasonable copy for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, scrape, republish, sell, modify, or use website content for commercial purposes without written permission.
You agree not to misuse this website, attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, interfere with website security, transmit malware, impersonate another person, submit false information, harass staff, or use the website for unlawful, abusive, discriminatory, or fraudulent purposes.
The practice aims to provide respectful, inclusive, and medically appropriate care. Website users and patients are expected to communicate with staff in a respectful manner. Harassment, threats, abusive conduct, discriminatory conduct, or attempts to obtain medications through false or misleading information may result in refusal of service, termination of non-emergency care, or other appropriate action consistent with law and professional obligations.
This website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the practice disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, the practice, its clinicians, owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website or reliance on public website content. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit rights that cannot legally be limited, waive professional duties owed to established patients, or alter obligations under applicable healthcare, privacy, consumer protection, or professional licensing laws.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to any non-waivable rights, venue for disputes related to this website will generally be in the state or federal courts serving the county in Florida where the practice is located.
