Medical Disclaimer
Effective Date: September 12th, 2026
General Information Only
All content on the Antunes-Merrick Medical Website website — including articles, downloadable handouts, video lessons, podcasts, social media posts, and any other educational materials — is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not individualized medical advice and is not a substitute for evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment by a licensed clinician who has personally assessed your unique health situation.
No Doctor-Patient Relationship
Browsing this website, submitting a contact form, downloading a handout, watching a video, or following Antunes-Merrick Medical on social media does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and the Antunes-Merrick Medical physician. A doctor-patient relationship is established only after a formal intake, consent, and consultation through our telehealth platform with a physician licensed in your state.
Education Is General, Not Individualized
Recommendations or examples shared in our educational content reflect general principles and may not apply to you. Pharmacological therapy, supplements, exercise programs, dietary changes, and other interventions discussed publicly are not prescribed to readers or viewers and should not be started, stopped, or modified based on this content alone. Always consult a clinician who knows your medical history before making changes to your care.
Not for Emergencies
Do not use this website to seek care for a medical emergency. If you are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, severe bleeding, suicidal thoughts, or any other potentially life-threatening symptom, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
Individual Results Vary
Testimonials, patient stories, and outcomes described on our website reflect individual experiences and are not a guarantee of results for any other person. Outcomes depend on many factors including individual physiology, adherence, and the specifics of your medical history.
Third-Party Resources
Where we reference outside resources (research articles, clinical guidelines, books, products, or other clinicians’ work), we do so for educational context. Antunes-Merrick Medical does not endorse, warrant, or assume responsibility for any third-party content or product.
