Email Policy
Dr.
Shipon-Blum and associates encourage email updates. This is a service we
include in your treatment.
The purpose for your update helps to keep Dr E and associates current on your
child's progress both in and out of school. Your update is read and used to
prepare for your next scheduled appointment.
Although privacy is of concern for internet transmission, primarily, due to
time constraints,
Dr. E and professional associates cannot respond to questions within your
email.
With hundreds of patients in our database and the demands of our current patient
load and conference schedule, one can only imagine the time it takes on daily
basis to read/respond to emails from countless families and teachers.
