Accessibility Policy

Effective Date: March 9, 2026

Gough Surgical PLLC is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We strive to meet or exceed the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

 

1. Our Commitment

We believe that every patient and visitor deserves equal access to information about our practice, procedures, and services. Accessibility is not an afterthought — it is part of how we approach patient-centered care online.

Our accessibility efforts include:

  • Providing text alternatives (alt text) for all meaningful images
  • Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background elements
  • Designing pages that can be navigated using a keyboard alone
  • Using clear and descriptive heading structures to aid screen reader navigation
  • Ensuring form fields are properly labeled
  • Providing accessible navigation menus
  • Avoiding content that could trigger photosensitive reactions
 
 

2. Standards We Follow

Our website is built to conform with:

  • WCAG 2.1 Level AA
  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (where applicable)
  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III guidance for websites
 
 

3. Assistive Technology Compatibility

We have designed our website to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

  • Screen readers (including JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack)
  • Screen magnification software
  • Keyboard-only navigation
  • Voice recognition software

Our website is designed to work with modern browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari.

 

4. Known Limitations

We are actively working to improve accessibility across all pages of our website. Some third-party content — including embedded maps, social media feeds, and review widgets — may not fully conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. We are working with our technology vendors to address these gaps.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on any page of our website, we want to know about it.

 

5. Alternative Access to Information

If you are unable to access any information on our website due to a disability, we are happy to provide that information to you in an alternative format. Please contact our office and we will respond within 2 business days:

6. Feedback and Reporting

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our website. If you experience any difficulty accessing content, please contact us with:

  • The specific page or content you had difficulty with
  • The assistive technology or browser you were using
  • A description of the problem

We take all feedback seriously and will investigate and respond to accessibility complaints promptly.

 

7. Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. We regularly review our website using both automated tools and manual testing, and we train our web team on accessibility best practices. We publish updates to this policy as our accessibility work progresses.
