2. No Medical Advice or Doctor–Patient Relationship

3. Appointment Requests & Online Forms

By submitting any form on this website, including appointment requests, contact forms, or consultation inquiries, you agree to provide accurate information. Submission of a form does not guarantee an appointment. MIOS will contact you to confirm availability and next steps.

Message frequency varies. Carrier message and data rates may apply.

You may receive messages even if your number is listed on a do-not-call registry. Consent is not a condition of purchase or treatment.

To unsubscribe, reply STOP. Other opt-out methods will not be recognized. Opt-outs may take up to 10 business days to process. For help, reply HELP or contact our office directly.

We may update or change our messaging phone number or short code at any time, and we are not liable for any missed messages during such transitions.
