Reading about your treatment options is hard enough when you are in pain. It can feel impossible when a website does not work with your screen reader, keyboard, or zoom settings. We want every person who visits burienendo.com to find clear information about root canal therapy, emergency care, and appointments, no matter how they browse the web.
This page explains how we work to make our website easier to use for people with disabilities, which features come from outside companies, and how to reach our team if you run into a problem. Our office policies are available on their own page for anyone planning a visit.
Dr. Matthew Tomala and our team want our website to be useful to as many people as possible. This includes people who use screen readers, voice control, screen magnifiers, or keyboard-only navigation. We aim to review pages when we update them and to fix barriers as we find them.
Our website may not work perfectly for everyone yet, and we want to be open about that. Accessibility takes ongoing attention, so we welcome your feedback and treat each report as a chance to improve.
Common web accessibility practices guide our work. The list below shows the areas we focus on as we add and update pages.
No website is perfect, so these steps are goals we keep working toward and not a promise that every page meets them today.
The U.S. Department of Justice published guidance on web accessibility and the ADA in March 2022. It explains the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) covers businesses open to the public, including medical offices, and it lists website features, such as color contrast, alt text, video captions, and keyboard access, which can reduce barriers. The guidance also names the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as a helpful technical reference.
We look to these resources when we make decisions about our website. We do not claim our website meets every guideline today, and we would rather be honest about our progress than overstate it.
Some parts of our website come from outside companies, so we do not fully control how they are built. Our patient registration portal is hosted on a separate website, and our Google review display is provided by a review service. If either one gives you trouble, call our office, and our team may be able to help you finish the same task another way.
We know some pages, documents, or features may not yet work smoothly with every browser, device, or assistive tool. We aim to fix issues as we find them, and your reports help us find them faster. If you notice a problem before we do, please tell us so we can look into it.
Your first call may include a conversation about your tooth pain and when you can come in. Our team may take diagnostic images and a CBCT scan so we can look closely at the cause of your symptoms, and our patient records are 100% digital. If you need extra time, written information, or a break during care, let us know before your visit so our team can plan ahead where possible.
We cannot promise every request can be met, but we want to hear about your needs. A short call or message gives our front office team the chance to talk through options with you.
If you cannot use part of our website, our front office team may be able to share information about our services, appointments, or office policies in another way, such as reading it to you over the phone. You can reach us at (206) 402-5147 or at 118 SW 160th Street, Burien, WA 98166.
If you have a dental emergency, please call us instead of sending a web form so our team can help you as quickly as possible. Please also leave private health details out of any web form you send.
Please tell us the page address, what you were trying to do, and the browser, device, or assistive tool you were using. Those details help our team and our web team find the cause faster. We review each report and aim to reply promptly.
Dr. Matthew Tomala and our team provide root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment, endodontic surgery, and care for dental injuries. We offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies. Our front office team checks your benefits and sends in claims as a courtesy, and you can review the insurance plans we accept online before your visit.
We want your experience with our practice to feel comfortable from your first click to your last appointment. If something on our website gets in your way, tell us, and our team may be able to help another way. To book an appointment or ask a question, reach out through our contact form.
