EMAIL POLICY NOTICE FOR PATIENTS: Our office is limiting communication with patients via email due to HIPAA regulations. We know that email can be extremely convenient but due to lack of end to end encryption, it is not HIPAA compliant—there is always a risk that other parties may read any personal health information you send or receive via email.
As an alternative to email you may call (206.635.7704) or fax the office (206.649.8045) as those options are considered more secure (according to HIPAA). Keep in mind that you may be charged a fee as per our phone policy. You can also consider scheduling a telemed appt.
Please note that due to limited office hours, it may take up to 3 business days before Dr. Huang will be able to reply to your message/fax. Our office does not provide 24/7 coverage and we understand that this may not work for some patients. For those of you who require more immediate response, it may be in your best interest to consider establishing care with a naturopath who provides 24/7 call or an MD who is hooked into the hospital system and can be paged for a quicker response.
