Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 24, 2026
Victor Cohen, MD(“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website only, not to care you receive as a patient of the practice.
Information we collect
Information you provide. When you use our contact, callback, or booking forms, we collect the information you choose to submit — typically your name, email address, phone number, and your message or appointment preferences.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics.
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiries and schedule or coordinate appointments.
- To operate, maintain, and improve this website.
- To understand how visitors use the site and measure the effectiveness of our advertising.
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for unrelated marketing.
Cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages visited and time on site; this information is transmitted to and processed by Google. You can learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. You can also refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings; the site will still work without them.
How information is shared
We share information only with:
- Service providers that help us run this website — for example website hosting, form processing, and analytics providers — who may process your information only to provide those services.
- Legal authorities, if required by law or to protect the safety and rights of any person.
A note about health information
This website is for general information and scheduling. It is not intended for the exchange of detailed medical information — please do not include sensitive health details in website forms. Health information you share with us as a patient (for example through the patient portal or during care) is protected health information governed by HIPAA and our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is provided separately. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911, or call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Data retention and security
We keep form submissions only as long as needed to respond to you, coordinate care, or meet legal requirements. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information; however, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To make a request, contact us using the details below and we will respond as required by applicable law.
Children’s privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through it. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
This site links to third-party websites, such as the patient portal and professional profiles. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, which we encourage you to review.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision, and the current version will always be posted on this page.
