This site is intended to connect healthcare consumers to healthcare providers, and to provide helpful information to consumers regarding providers' products and services. Every effort is made to confirm providers' credentials and other information prior to allowing providers to list services on the site. Every attempt is made to verify information regarding providers located outside of the United States via applicable local authorities. HBI does not endorse, guarantee, or warrant the products or services of any healthcare provider, and HBI is not an agent, broker, dealer, or representative of, or otherwise responsible for or on behalf of, any such provider. HBI never makes any medical decisions for you or on your behalf, nor does HBI ever take any medical action in response to information transmitted or received by the site. HBI does not take part in any medical diagnoses, procedures, or recommendations, or in any medical, prescription, service, or product price negotiations, and HBI never receives any commissions or portions of fees or amounts which may be paid to providers. All decisions regarding connecting, communicating, treatments, services, prices, or purchases between consumers and providers are made solely and exclusively by and between consumer and provider, and HBI has no authority over or responsibility regarding any such decisions, determinations, or negotiations on behalf of either consumer or provider. HBI assumes no liability whatsoever for your experience as a healthcare consumer or provider through or as a result of your use of the site or services. If you feel you have been treated unfairly by a provider, please contact that provider directly. That said, if you feel you have been treated unfairly by a provider or a consumer/patient, please also inform HBI of the incident to enable us to make further inquiry or investigation or to ensure and uphold the honor and integrity of the site and services.
