Our Non-Discrimination Policy
Yanich Oral Surgery does not discriminate in the provision of services to patients or prospective patients with disabilities. This policy applies to all patients, visitors, and employees of Yanich Oral Surgery.
All individuals with disabilities have the right to access to the full range of dental services provided by Yanich Oral Surgery. Reasonable accommodations will be made to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access dental care in a way that meets their needs. This may include adjustments to appointment times, providing assistance with mobility, or making changes to standard procedures where appropriate.
Yanich Oral Surgery will furnish appropriate auxiliary aids and services where necessary to ensure effective communication with individuals with disabilities. This includes an obligation to provide effective communication to companions who are individuals with disabilities and may include interpreters where reasonable.
Our facility is designed to be accessible to individuals with disabilities. This includes ensuring entrances, exam rooms, restrooms, and waiting areas meet ADA standards.
Yanich Oral Surgery will engage in an interactive process with patients and prospective patients who, because of disability, need transfer assistance at its facility, to determine what transfer assistance options can be provided to each patient. To the extent readily achievable, a reasonable number of seats with movable armrests and adjustable heights must be provided. This process will ensure that patients with disabilities are treated with respect, dignity, and independence and will acknowledge the proficiency such patients have in understanding their disability and their transfer needs.
All staff members at Yanich Oral Surgery shall receive a copy of this policy and shall complete training on this Non-Discrimination Policy to ensure that they are aware of their responsibilities in providing equitable services to individuals with disabilities. Staff will also be trained on how to identify possible barriers to access and how to assist patients in need.
Website Accessibility Policy
Inclusion is an important value of our agency, and we want to provide all website visitors an accessible, valuable and efficient experience when using our site. Our goal is for our website to be accessible to our visitors, clients and community, regardless of ability or access to technology.
We are committed to constantly improving the accessibility of our website for all users so each person can easily navigate our site and find the information they need.

For Our Website Visitors Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Our company uses these standard accessibility features for website viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Closed Captioning
Closed captioning provides a transcript for the audio track of a video presentation that is synchronized with the video and audio tracks. Captions are generally visually displayed over the video, which benefits people who are deaf and hard of hearing, and anyone who cannot hear the audio due to noisy environments. Written descriptions of our services are available for those who are unable to hear our videos and/or for videos that do not have closed captioning.
Volume Controls
Your computer, tablet or mobile device has volume control features. Each video and audio service has its own additional volume controls. Try adjusting both your device’s volume controls and your media players’ volume controls to optimize your listening experience.
Additional Standard Accessibility Practices
