Information on Website for Educational And Informational Purposes Only and Not Medical, Health or Professional Advice
This Website has been created to provide information about our naturopathic and integrative medicine services; however, any information found on this Website is for educational and informational purposes only and is NOT intended as, and must not be understood or construed as, medical care or advice for any person or naturopathic medical care or advice for any person, including patients of Core Integrative. Nothing on this Website is intended to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

For purposes of clarification, naturopathic and integrative medical services (the “Naturopathic and Integrative Medical Services”) are offered by Core Integrative to individuals located in California after they register as patients of Core Integrative. While the Website may advertise the Naturopathic and Integrative Medical Services, no Naturopathic and Integrative Medical Services are provided via this Website or its contents, and visiting this Website does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and Dr. Preeti Kulkarni, ND or any other doctor or health care provider at Core Integrative. While there may be a link to the Core Integrative HIPAA-compliant Patient Portal for patients of Core Integrative on this Website, the Patient Portal is hosted on a separate server and is not part of this Website.

If you have any concerns or questions about your health, you should always consult one-on-one with a licensed medical or health care professional.

However, your use of the Website alone DOES NOT create a doctor-patient relationship between you and any doctor at Core Integrative.

Core Integrative disclaims any liability for your reliance on any blogs, opinions or advice contained in this Website.
