Yakov Levy MD PC — Dr. Yakov Levy
Effective date: October 23, 2026
These Terms and Conditions describe the use of nygyn.com and the text messaging program operated by Yakov Levy MD PC (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. These terms do not replace our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, treatment consent forms, or other agreements applicable to your care.
Website Information
Our website provides general information about medical conditions, treatments, and services. Its content is not individualized medical advice, a diagnosis, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking care because of information on this website.
Browsing the website, downloading materials, or submitting a general inquiry does not, by itself, establish a doctor-patient relationship.
Treatment suitability and results vary. Descriptions of services, photographs, and patient experiences do not guarantee a particular outcome.
Emergencies and Urgent Medical Concerns
Website forms, email, and text messages are not intended for emergencies or urgent medical concerns. Messages may not be reviewed immediately.
For urgent medical questions, call our office. For a medical emergency, call 911.
Appointments and Contact Information
Please provide accurate contact information when requesting an appointment.
An appointment request is not confirmed until you receive confirmation from our office or authorized booking system. Contact us if you are unsure whether your appointment is confirmed.
Sending an inquiry or text message does not automatically cancel or reschedule an appointment. Please obtain confirmation of any requested change.
Appropriate Website Use
You may use this website and materials made available for patient use for lawful personal purposes.
You must not attempt to access another person’s information without authorization, interfere with website security or operation, introduce malicious software, submit fraudulent information, or send spam or unlawful communications.
If you use a patient portal or external booking service, additional terms may apply. Keep login credentials confidential and report suspected unauthorized access to the appropriate service provider.
Website Content and External Links
Website text, logos, photographs, and other materials are owned by or licensed to the practice unless otherwise stated. You may view and print materials made available for personal patient use. Other uses require permission unless permitted by law.
Our website may link to or incorporate external websites and services. Those services may have their own terms and privacy notices. A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement.
We may update content or temporarily interrupt website access for maintenance or operational reasons. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. Nothing in these terms limits rights or obligations that cannot lawfully be limited.
SMS Program Description
With your consent, Yakov Levy MD PC may send recurring text messages about:
- Appointment confirmations and reminders.
- Annual exam reminders.
- Scheduling, rescheduling, and cancellations.
- Registration and appointment-related instructions.
- Office updates and responses to your inquiries.
With separate marketing consent, we may also send promotions, special offers, and information about our services.
Messages may be sent using automated technology. We send messages according to the categories for which you have provided consent.
SMS Consent
We obtain and document consent before enrolling you in our text messaging program. Consent may be collected through our patient registration form, a signed paper SMS Consent Form, or another appropriate method. Documented verbal consent may be used for eligible nonmarketing communications. Marketing texts require separate written consent.
Providing a telephone number, requesting an appointment, visiting our website, or accepting these terms does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive marketing texts.
Participation is voluntary. Marketing consent is not a condition of purchasing services or receiving medical care. Declining or withdrawing SMS consent will not affect your ability to receive care.
You confirm that you are authorized to receive messages at the mobile number you provide. Notify our office if your number changes, is disconnected, or is reassigned.
Message Frequency and Charges
Message frequency varies depending on your appointments, inquiries, communication preferences, and participation in the program.
Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier may charge for receiving or sending messages according to your plan. Contact your carrier with questions about these charges.
How to Stop Text Messages
Reply STOP to a message from our program to unsubscribe.
You may also contact either office or otherwise clearly communicate that you no longer wish to receive text messages.
You may receive one nonpromotional message confirming your request. After your request is processed, we will stop further program messages unless you provide new consent.
Unsubscribing from SMS does not cancel an appointment. Contact our office to cancel or reschedule.
To request enrollment again, contact our office. We will obtain any consent required before restarting messages.
SMS Help and Support
Reply HELP for assistance, or call:
Manhattan: 212-725-5888
Queens: 718-520-8700
You may contact either office directly about appointments, medical questions, or communication preferences.
Message Delivery
Delivery depends on your mobile carrier, device, network availability, and other technical factors. Messages may be delayed or may not be delivered.
Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
If you do not receive an expected appointment message, contact our office to confirm your appointment details.
Email Communications
We may use your email address to respond to inquiries and send appropriate appointment and office communications. We may also send practice news or promotional emails where permitted by applicable law and your preferences.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in those emails or by contacting our office.
Email and SMS preferences are managed separately. Contact us if you wish to change both. A request clearly asking us to stop multiple types of communications will be handled according to its scope and applicable requirements.
Privacy and Confidential Communications
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information associated with our website and communications.
We do not sell, rent, or share mobile numbers, SMS opt-in information, or SMS consent with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
We may provide information to messaging platforms, telecommunications providers, and other service providers solely as necessary to operate and deliver our messaging program on our behalf. They are not authorized to use that information for their own marketing.
Ordinary email and SMS may not be encrypted. Messages may be visible to others with access to your device, account, or notifications. Please do not send sensitive medical information through general website forms, ordinary email, or SMS. Contact our office about an appropriate communication method.
Website use, communication preferences, and SMS consent do not constitute a separate HIPAA authorization where one is required.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms to reflect changes in our website, communications program, or applicable requirements. Updated terms will be posted with a revised effective date. We will provide additional notice or obtain consent where required.
An update does not automatically expand previously granted SMS consent.
