On This Page
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Do not use this website, the patient portal, or email to communicate an emergency. These channels are not monitored continuously and are not appropriate for urgent medical needs.
Medical Emergencies
This website is not a means of obtaining emergency medical care. Nothing submitted through this site, including contact forms, patient forms, or portal messages, should be relied upon to reach a physician urgently.
No Medical Advice
The content on this website, including descriptions of surgical services, physician biographies, patient pamphlets, and educational material, is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified health care professional.
Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified provider with any questions about a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read on this site.
No Physician–Patient Relationship
Visiting this website, reading its content, or submitting information through a form on it does not create a physician–patient relationship between you and Dr. Alexandra Dresel, Urgent Surgery Associates, PA, or any of their physicians or advanced practice providers. That relationship is established only through an actual clinical encounter.
Acceptable Use
You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the site, its servers, or any system connected to it; interfere with its operation or security; use automated means to scrape or harvest content; or submit false, misleading, or another person’s information without authorization.
Access credentials for the patient portal are for your individual use and may not be shared.
Patient Portal and Forms
Our patient portal is provided by a third-party vendor and is governed by that vendor’s own terms and privacy practices in addition to these terms. We encourage you to submit patient forms through the portal, which uses a secure connection.
The patient forms published on this website are provided for you to complete and print. Information you type into them stays in your own browser; it is not transmitted to us, and it is not stored on this website. Please bring the printed forms to your appointment, or submit them through the patient portal instead.
Please do not send protected health information to us by ordinary email. Email is not a secure channel, and we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information sent that way.
