1. Educational Use Only — No Medical Advice

All content on this website (the "Site") is provided by Dr. Wagdy Mohammed Al-Kadasi for general educational and academic reference purposes only. It is not, and is not intended to be, medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Nothing on this Site should be used to diagnose or treat any medical condition, to confirm or refute a diagnosis made by a treating physician, to recommend or contraindicate a specific operation, drug, dose, or therapy, or to substitute for direct consultation with a qualified, licensed clinician who has personally examined the patient and reviewed the relevant studies.

Pediatric neurosurgical care requires individualized assessment by a multidisciplinary team. Decisions about surgery, medication, imaging, or any other intervention must always be made by the treating clinicians with direct access to the patient's history, examination, and investigations.

2. No Physician–Patient Relationship

Viewing, reading, downloading, or otherwise using any material on this Site does not create a physician–patient, doctor–patient, or any other professional or therapeutic relationship between the user and Dr. Al-Kadasi or any institution with which he is affiliated.

Dr. Al-Kadasi does not provide individualized medical opinions, second opinions, or treatment recommendations through this Site. Submitting information via any contact mechanism, email link, or social channel associated with this Site does not constitute a consultation and should not be used to communicate clinical information about an actual patient.

If you have a clinical concern about yourself, your child, or a patient under your care, please contact your treating physician or your local emergency services directly.

8. Privacy, Cookies & Analytics

This Site does not request, collect, or store personally identifying patient information. Users should never submit identifiable patient data through any contact form or email link associated with this Site.

This Site uses lightweight, privacy-respecting analytics to understand how visitors find and use the educational content — for example, which pages are read most, which countries visitors come from, and how visitors arrive at the Site. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous; it cannot be used to identify any individual visitor or patient.

Specifically, this Site currently uses two analytics services: Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page visits without setting any cookies, and Microsoft Clarity, which generates aggregated heatmaps and anonymized session recordings to help understand how visitors navigate the educational content. Clarity automatically masks form fields and other sensitive on-screen content. Data collected via Clarity is processed by Microsoft Corporation acting as a data processor on behalf of this Site, and is subject to Microsoft's privacy statement (privacy.microsoft.com). Cloudflare's privacy practices are described at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Some of the analytics or hosting services used by this Site may set small files (cookies) or similar technology in your browser. These are used only to enable basic site functionality and to measure aggregate visitor patterns. This Site does not use advertising cookies, third-party marketing trackers, cross-site tracking, fingerprinting, or behavioural profiling. The Site does not sell, share, or transfer any visitor data to advertisers or marketers.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser's settings at any time. Doing so will not prevent you from using this Site.

External resources linked from this Site (journals, professional societies, patient organizations, databases) are independent of drwagdy.com and have their own privacy practices. Please consult each external site's own privacy policy before submitting any information to it.
