Fort Bend Pediatric Dentistry PLLC (dba Creative Smiles and Kidzone Dental)
Effective Date: September 24, 2025
We are dedicated to treating all patients with dignity and respect, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, sex, disability, religion, or any other protected characteristic. In particular, consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other laws, our Practice strives to ensure that persons with disabilities have equal access to our services and information. We will provide reasonable accommodations and auxiliary aids/services to patients or companions with disabilities to facilitate effective communication and full enjoyment of our dental services. For example, we can arrange for sign language interpreter services for patients who are deaf or hard of hearing, provide written information in large print or other alternative formats for patients with vision impairments, or allow the use of assistive devices. The goal is to communicate with patients with vision, hearing, or speech disabilities in a manner that is equally as effective as communications with others. If you have any special needs (e.g. require an interpreter, need documents in Braille or another language, need extra assistance during your visit, etc.), please notify our staff in advance or at your appointment. We will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate such requests. This notice can be made available in alternative formats if needed – please contact us for assistance.
Furthermore, our office is physically accessible in accordance with ADA structural guidelines (e.g., wheelchair access). We also train our staff on disability etiquette and effective communication principles. It is our policy to ensure that no individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, or otherwise treated differently due to the absence of appropriate auxiliary aids and services. Your comfort and ability to receive information and care are a priority. If you believe you have been unable to access our services or communications due to a disability, or have been discriminated against in any way, please let us know immediately so we can address the issue. You may also file a grievance or complaint as noted above – we will not retaliate, and we will work with you to resolve the concern.
