Who Operates This Site

The content on virtualconciergemd.com, tessmdhealth.com, tessmd.health, tesswashingtonmd.com, drtessofbeverlyhills.com, and theressialwashingtonmd.com is owned and operated by Theressia L. Washington, MD, P.C., a California professional corporation doing business as Dr Tess of Beverly Hills/Virtual Concierge MD.


Website Content Is Not Medical Advice

Information published on this website is general and educational. It is not personalized medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for evaluation by a clinician who knows your history.

Browsing this website, submitting a contact form, sending an email, or reading our content does not create a physician-patient relationship. That relationship begins only when you register as a patient, complete informed consent, are accepted for care, and have a clinical encounter.

This disclaimer applies to website content. It does not limit the medical care you receive as a patient — see our FDA Compliance & Product Disclaimer for that distinction.


Where We Can Provide Care

Medical services are available only to patients physically located in California, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, Nevada, or New York at the time of each visit. You must confirm your location at every visit. Access to this website from another state does not mean services are available to you there.


Cash-Pay Practice

We do not bill insurance. Payment is due at the time of service. Medications, laboratory testing, imaging, and supplements are billed separately by the pharmacy, laboratory, or vendor.

As a self-pay patient, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before scheduled services.


No Guarantees

We make no representation or warranty regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or currency of website content. Medicine and regulation change continuously, and content may become outdated. No treatment outcome is guaranteed. Testimonials reflect individual experience only.


Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Theressia L. Washington, MD, P.C. is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website, reliance on its content, technical interruptions, or third-party content.

Nothing in this disclaimer limits liability for professional negligence in the delivery of medical care, and nothing here waives any right you have under law. Any attempt to disclaim liability for medical negligence would be void, and we do not attempt it.


Acceptable Use

Do not use this website unlawfully, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, scrape or data-mine content, use content to train artificial intelligence systems, misrepresent your identity or location, or post another person's health information.


Third-Party Services and Links

We use third-party platforms including Practice Better and Carepatron for scheduling and records, Fullscript for supplements, and LivingPlateRx for meal plans. These services have their own terms and privacy policies. Where a vendor handles your protected health information, we maintain a written business associate agreement with them.

Links to external sites are not endorsements, and we do not control their content, accuracy, or security.


Privacy

Your health information is handled per our Notice of Privacy Practices. Website data collection is described in our Privacy Policy, and Nevada residents should also see our Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice.


Artificial Intelligence

Where generative AI is used to draft a patient communication containing clinical information not reviewed by a licensed clinician before sending, that communication is labeled as AI-generated with instructions for reaching a human clinician. AI is never used for clinical decisions, treatment planning, or therapy.

If we deploy a chatbot on this site, it will be identified as automated.


Accessibility

We work toward conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. If you encounter a barrier, contact support@virtualconciergemd.com or 1(310) 275-8377 and we will provide the information or service in another format.


Intellectual Property

All content is the property of Theressia L. Washington, MD, P.C. See our Copyright & Intellectual Property Notice.


Changes

We may update this website and this disclaimer at any time. Material changes will be posted with a revised effective date.


Governing Law

California law governs, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Where a separate arbitration agreement has been signed, it controls dispute resolution to the extent it is enforceable.


Emergencies

Medical emergency — call 911. Mental health crisis — call or text 988.
