through the Website, communications are not real-time. The Website does not provide any medical

CARE PROVIDER IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY OR

The health information on this Website
is for general education purposes and is not intended to constitute medical
advice. The information should not be used for diagnosis or treatment, nor
should it be used to replace the advice of licensed healthcare professionals.
Health concerns should be discussed with your personal physician. If you have
any concerns about your health, please contact your healthcare
provider.
The Website is not designed for the transmission or
receipt of your personal health information; please do not communicate your

3. Use of the Website
You warrant that you will use the
Website for lawful purposes. You will
not use the Website to harass other users, or take any actions that will affect
the availability or functionality of the Website. You may not attempt to modify the Website or

4. Physician Directory
Princeton HealthCare System is
pleased to provide an online Physician Directory to help individuals find a
physician, dentist or other healthcare provider on staff at Princeton
HealthCare System. The directory includes independent providers who are engaged
in private practice in the community and who are on the medical staff at Princeton
HealthCare System.
Princeton HealthCare System
respects the right of each individual to choose a healthcare provider to meet
his or her needs. Information contained in the individual profiles of
physicians, dentists and other health professionals on staff at Princeton
HealthCare System was provided by those individuals or members of their staffs.
Although each member of the medical staff at Princeton HealthCare System is
subject to credentialing, which includes the verification of the staff member's
education, qualifications and experience, Princeton HealthCare System has not
verified the accuracy of all of the contents of each profile, and the inclusion
of a physician, dentist or other healthcare provider in the Physician Directory
does not imply endorsement of an individual provider by Princeton HealthCare
System. We encourage patients to verify their healthcare providers'
qualifications, experience and accomplishments.
When choosing a healthcare
provider, it is the patient's responsibility to verify that provider's
participation in Medicaid, Medicare or the individual patient's insurance plan.
Please note, those physicians, dentists and other health professionals on staff
at Princeton HealthCare System do not necessarily participate in the same
insurance plans as Princeton HealthCare System.

such reference constitute an endorsement of Princeton HealthCare System or any
of the foregoing.
