Southern California Sinus Institute and Dr. Alen Cohen are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience for all individuals, including people with disabilities.

We believe that individuals should be able to obtain information about our practice and services and interact with our website in a manner that is reasonably accessible, regardless of technology or ability.

Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility

We are committed to ongoing efforts to improve the accessibility and usability of SoCalSinus.com.

As part of those efforts, we seek to consider recognized accessibility practices and applicable accessibility requirements when developing, maintaining, and updating our website.

Our accessibility efforts may include consideration of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), including WCAG 2.1 and/or newer applicable guidance, with the goal of supporting generally recognized Level AA accessibility practices where reasonably achievable.

Accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a one-time project. Websites, browsers, assistive technologies, third-party integrations, and accessibility standards continue to evolve, and we may make changes as technologies and standards develop.

Accessibility Features

Depending on the page, browser, device, and technology being used, our website may support accessibility features and practices such as:

Keyboard navigation
Logical heading structures
Descriptive link text
Alternative text for meaningful images
Appropriate text and background contrast
Scalable text
Form labels and instructions
Focus indicators
Accessible navigation structures
Descriptive page titles
Compatibility with common assistive technologies
Captions, transcripts, or alternatives for multimedia where reasonably available

Images and Alternative Text

We seek to provide alternative text or other appropriate alternatives for meaningful images where reasonably appropriate.

Some images are decorative and may intentionally be ignored by screen-reading technology.

Medical diagrams, complex illustrations, infographics, or other visual information may not always be fully conveyed through a brief text alternative. If you need assistance understanding visual information on our website, please contact us.

Videos and Multimedia

We seek to make important multimedia content accessible where reasonably practicable.

Some older, embedded, archived, or third-party videos may not contain captions, transcripts, audio descriptions, or other accessibility features.

If you encounter multimedia content that you cannot access, please contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to provide the information in an alternative format.

Online Forms

We strive to make online forms usable with keyboards and assistive technologies.

If you experience difficulty completing a website form, please contact our office by telephone so we can provide reasonable assistance or another method of communicating with us.

Third-Party Content

Our website may contain or integrate content and technology provided by third parties, including:

Maps
Videos
Social media
Scheduling technology
Chat or messaging tools
Analytics technologies
Forms
Accessibility tools or widgets
Embedded content
External websites

Because third-party services are controlled by their respective providers, we may have limited ability to modify their accessibility.

We encourage third-party vendors to provide accessible technology and periodically evaluate third-party functionality as appropriate.

Accessibility Widgets and Automated Tools

Our website may use an accessibility widget, overlay, toolbar, automated remediation technology, or similar accessibility feature.

Such tools may provide additional options for some visitors, but no automated tool can guarantee that every website feature will be accessible to every person or assistive technology.

The availability of an accessibility widget does not replace our broader efforts to improve the underlying accessibility of our website.

Browser and Assistive Technology Compatibility

Accessibility may vary depending on your operating system, browser, device, browser settings, assistive technology, and internet connection.

For the best experience, we recommend using current versions of major browsers and keeping assistive technology and operating systems updated where possible.

Physical Accessibility and Accommodations

Our commitment to accessibility extends beyond this website.

If you require an accommodation related to accessing our office or receiving services, please contact the practice before your visit when possible so that we can discuss your needs and available reasonable accommodations.

Need Assistance?

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our website, encounter an accessibility barrier, or need information provided in another format, please contact us.

When contacting us, it is helpful if you provide:

The webpage or URL where you experienced difficulty
A brief description of the accessibility issue
The browser or assistive technology you were using, if relevant
The best way for us to contact you

Providing this information is optional but may help us identify and address the issue more efficiently.

Accessibility Feedback

We welcome feedback regarding the accessibility of our website.

We take accessibility concerns seriously and will make reasonable efforts to investigate reported issues and provide requested information through an accessible alternative when appropriate.

Southern California Sinus Institute periodically reviews its website and accessibility practices as part of its continuing effort to provide an inclusive digital experience.
