Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Services should be sent to the applicable address below: Company Contact Hello Pediatrics Medical Group, PLLC Attn: Compliance/DMCA Registered Agent 13135 Route 50, Suite 300, Fairfax, Virginia, and compliance@hellopediatrics.com.

Not Medical Advice 

Upon contacting us, you will likely be directed to one of our intake specialists or another person who is not a licensed healthcare provider (a “Provider”) so that they can help connect you to an appropriate Provider or recommend that you go to an Urgent Care Center or Hospital Emergency Room.  You should assume that any person with whom you communicate through this website or otherwise at HP is not a Provider unless she or he identifies herself or himself as a licensed healthcare provider.  Accordingly, you should not consider the advice or guidance of any such person who is not identified as a licensed healthcare provider as providing medical or clinical care, advice or services.  

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY. 

By using the Service, you certify that you are physically located in the state you indicated on the Online Service Platform. You acknowledge that your ability to access and use the Service is contingent upon the accuracy of this certification, and Providers rely on this certification to interact with you. If your certification is inaccurate, you agree to indemnify us and the Providers you interact with from any resulting damages, costs, or claims. 

Providers affiliated with HP are licensed to practice medicine in the locations identified in the Service. Neither the Providers nor HP intend to solicit patients from states in which the Providers are not licensed. 

Apart from information and communications received directly from Providers, you recognize and agree that the Services are not intended for the diagnosis of diseases or other conditions, the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of diseases, or to affect the structure or any function of the human body. Any health tips, blog postings, or other health-related information provided through the Service are of a general informative nature and should not be used for diagnosis or treatment.
