Please read these Terms of Use carefully. By accessing or using the Bruce Hubbard MD Inc. website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

1. Purpose of This Website

This website provides general information about Bruce Hubbard MD Inc., our clinicians, and services including psychiatric care, medication management, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and Spravato® treatment. Website content is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

2. Not Medical Advice

Nothing on this website is intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Website content is not a substitute for an evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional who is familiar with your individual circumstances. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking care because of information found on this website.

3. Emergencies and Crisis Situations

This website is not monitored for emergencies. If you believe you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. If you are in suicidal crisis or emotional distress in the United States, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

4. No Provider-Patient Relationship

Use of this website, sending an inquiry, requesting an appointment, or communicating with the practice through an online service does not by itself create a physician-patient, therapist-patient, or other professional treatment relationship. A treatment relationship begins only after the practice accepts you as a patient and an appropriate clinician completes the required intake or evaluation process.

5. Appointment Requests and Availability

Online appointment requests are requests only and are not confirmed until the practice communicates confirmation. Availability, eligibility, insurance participation, clinical appropriateness, and scheduling may change. We may decline or redirect a request when appropriate.

6. Communications and Privacy

Communications submitted through this website, email, telephone, text message, scheduling services, or other electronic systems may not be appropriate for urgent or highly sensitive information. Please avoid sending detailed medical information through general website forms unless the form specifically requests it and is identified as secure.

Our collection and use of website information is described in our Website Privacy Policy. Our use and disclosure of protected health information are described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. Those documents are incorporated into these Terms by reference where applicable.

7. Text Messaging

Patients who provide a mobile telephone number and consent to text messaging may receive appointment reminders, scheduling updates, or other communications related to their care. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of non-essential text messages and HELP for assistance. We do not sell or share SMS consent or mobile telephone numbers with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes.

8. Accuracy of Information

We attempt to keep website information accurate and current, but we do not guarantee that all information is complete, error-free, or up to date. Treatment descriptions, clinician availability, accepted insurance plans, office hours, fees, and other information may change without notice. Coverage and benefits must be confirmed directly with your health plan.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

This website may link to or embed services operated by third parties, such as appointment scheduling, maps, videos, patient resources, social media, payment services, or insurance resources. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, availability, security, accessibility, or privacy practices of third-party services. Your use of those services may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies.

10. Intellectual Property

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for losses, claims, or expenses arising from your unlawful misuse of the website or material violation of these Terms. This provision does not apply to claims arising from healthcare services provided under a separate treatment relationship.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute concerning the website will be handled in an appropriate state or federal court located in San Diego County, California, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms periodically. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the website after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
