Online Contact Forms

You may use online contact forms to get in touch with us. The use of these forms is voluntary and the information you submit is forwarded to a staff member at The Turek Clinic who is best suited to review and act upon your request. We are using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for the transmission of the online contact forms to ensure that communication between you and our mail server is encrypted (note https:// for site address instead of just http://). Your message content is hidden from eavesdroppers, which greatly reduces the chances of identity theft, the sending of false messages, and more. However, since the form messages are transmitted over the Internet, we cannot guarantee that the messages are completely secure. If you are uncomfortable with this risk, you may choose not to use the online forms to communicate with our office. Instead, you can contact us by phone or fax.
