The information on www.sendslim.com and any related pages, emails, messages, blog posts, videos, or social media content from SendSlim Clinic (“SendSlim,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.
It is not a substitute for personal medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a licensed healthcare professional.
1. Not for Emergencies
SendSlim is not an emergency service.
If you have a medical emergency or urgent symptoms, do not use this website, email, telehealth messages, or social media.
Instead, you should:
- Call 911, or
- Go to the nearest emergency room right away.
Examples of emergencies include (but are not limited to):
- Chest pain or trouble breathing
- Severe allergic reaction (such as swelling of the face or throat, trouble breathing)
- Signs of stroke (sudden weakness, trouble speaking, confusion, loss of vision, severe headache)
- Severe, sudden pain
- Thoughts of harming yourself or others
- Any situation you believe is life-threatening or very serious
2. No Medical Advice for Your Specific Situation
The general information on this website (including articles, FAQs, videos, emails, and social content) is:
- Educational in nature
- Intended to help you learn about medical weight loss and related topics
- Not tailored to your specific health situation
This content:
- Does not create a diagnosis or treatment plan for you
- Should not be used to start, stop, or change any medications on your own
- Should not be used as the only source of information for important health decisions
You should always talk directly with a licensed healthcare professional who knows your full medical history before making changes to your care.
3. No Doctor–Patient Relationship from Browsing the Site
Simply visiting this website, reading content, or sending us general messages does not create a doctor–patient or provider–patient relationship between you and SendSlim Clinic, Affection Health Care LLC, or any individual clinician.
A provider–patient relationship is normally formed only when:
- You complete the required intake and consent forms,
- You are accepted as a patient, and
- You take part in an actual medical visit (such as a telehealth appointment) with one of our clinicians.
If we respond to general questions or comments (for example, through email or social media), these responses are for information only and are not personal medical advice or treatment.
4. Telehealth and In-Person Care
SendSlim primarily provides care through telehealth (phone or video) for medical weight loss and related issues.
Telehealth has benefits and limits. In some cases, the safest or most appropriate care may require an in-person visit with a local healthcare provider, urgent care, or an emergency department.
Our clinicians may advise you to:
- Seek in-person care
- Visit your primary care provider
- Go to urgent care or the emergency room
When we make such recommendations, it is important that you follow them, or discuss them with another licensed provider you trust.
5. No Guarantees of Results
Any statements about expected weight loss, health improvements, or outcomes from our program or from medical weight loss in general are:
- Based on general experience or clinical guidelines
- Not promises or guarantees of any specific result for you
Each person is different. Your results may be better, worse, or different than examples shown in educational materials, testimonials, or case stories.
6. Medications, Labs, and Side Effects
Information on this site about medications (including weight-loss drugs and other treatments), lab tests, and side effects is general information only.
You should never:
- Start a new medication,
- Change the way you take a current medication, or
- Stop a prescribed medication
without first talking to a licensed healthcare professional who is familiar with your situation.
If you believe you are having side effects or a bad reaction to a medication:
- Contact your prescribing clinician, and
- If symptoms are severe or life-threatening, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
7. External Links and Third-Party Content
This website may link to third-party websites, apps, or resources, including labs, pharmacies, device vendors, or educational pages.
These links are provided for convenience and information only. We:
- Do not control or endorse third-party content
- Do not guarantee the accuracy, safety, or quality of third-party information or services
If you use any third-party website or service, you do so at your own risk and according to their terms and policies.
8. No Substitute for Your Own Provider
Even if you are a patient of SendSlim Clinic, this website should still not be your only source of medical advice.
You should:
- Continue regular care with your primary care provider or other specialists as needed
- Keep all recommended in-person checkups, screenings, and tests
- Discuss any questions or concerns about your health directly with a licensed healthcare professional
Do not delay, avoid, or ignore getting in-person care because of something you read on this website or in any related SendSlim content.
