Astra Vein and Vascular  |  Last updated: August 3, 2026

Astra Vein and Vascular, operated by Astra Vein Treatment Center ("we," "us," or "our"), the vein and vascular practice of Dr. George Bolotin, MD, respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the information you provide through our websites, landing pages, forms, and communications, including our SMS text messaging program. By using our site or submitting your information, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We may collect information you voluntarily provide — such as your name, phone number, email address, and the reason for your inquiry — as well as basic technical information (such as browser type and pages visited) collected automatically when you use our site.

How we use your information

  • To respond to your inquiry and follow up with you about a consultation.
  • To send appointment reminders, confirmations, and reschedule messages.
  • To provide customer service and answer your questions.
  • To operate and improve our website and services.
  • To comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

SMS text messaging & mobile information

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All of the categories described in this policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

When you opt in to our SMS program, you agree to receive appointment reminders and follow-up text messages from Astra Vein and Vascular at the mobile number you provide. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, and you can reply HELP for assistance. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase or treatment. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate our website, scheduling, and communications (for example, our CRM and messaging providers), only to the extent necessary to perform those services on our behalf. We may also disclose information when required by law. As stated above, SMS opt-in consent and text messaging originator opt-in data are never shared with any third parties.

Protected health information (HIPAA)

As a healthcare provider, we are required by applicable federal and state law — including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) — to maintain the privacy of your protected health information (PHI). We use and disclose PHI for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations, and for other purposes permitted or required by law. We may use or disclose your health information to provide you with appointment reminders. We will not use your health information for marketing communications without your written authorization. This landing page and its forms are intended for general inquiries; please do not include detailed medical information in web or text submissions. You have the right to access, request amendment of, and request restrictions on your health information, and to receive an accounting of certain disclosures.

Data retention & security

We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law, and we use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect it.

Your choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, and out of emails using the unsubscribe link. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Children's privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
