Who We Are

This website is operated by Dr. Baptista's Bariatric Center, 9471 Baymeadows Road, Suite 207, Jacksonville, FL 32256. Phone (904) 724-2263.

What This Website Collects

With visitor consent, this site uses Google Analytics (aggregated usage statistics that do not personally identify you to us) and, on the homepage and contact page only, a visitor identification marketing tool that may associate a visit with publicly available contact information. That tool is intentionally not used on any page describing medical procedures or health conditions, and it does not access any medical information. If a visitor chooses Essential Only, neither tool runs.

Information You Provide

Contact form submissions (name, phone, email) are delivered to office staff so they can respond. Please do not include detailed medical information in website forms; medical questions are best discussed during a consultation.

Voice Assistant

The website offers a voice assistant that answers general questions about the practice. Conversations are processed in real time by a third-party AI service to generate responses. The practice does not record or store these conversations. Please do not share personal health information with the assistant. It provides general information only and is not a substitute for medical advice.

What We Do Not Do

We do not sell personal information. We do not use tracking technology on pages describing medical procedures or health conditions. This website is informational and does not collect, store, or transmit protected health information. Patient medical records are maintained separately through the practice's secure clinical systems and are never connected to this website.

Your Choices

Visitors can decline non-essential cookies using the banner on first visit. Clearing browser cookies and site data will cause the banner to appear again. Most browsers also offer settings to block third-party cookies entirely.
