Accessibility Statement | Desert Oazis
Last Updated: January 1, 2025

​

Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Desert Oazis, we are committed to ensuring that our website — desertoazis.com — is accessible to all visitors, including people with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to healthcare information, and we are actively working to make our digital presence reflect the same inclusive, patient-centered values that guide our clinical care.

​

What Web Accessibility Means
Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use a website with the same or a similar level of ease and independence as other visitors. This includes individuals who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, voice recognition software, or display adaptations. An accessible website removes barriers so that everyone — regardless of ability — can find information, contact our clinic, and book an appointment without difficulty.

​

Our Accessibility Standard
We have adapted this site in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, and have worked toward meeting the AA level of conformance. These guidelines, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), are the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility.

​

Accessibility Adjustments on This Site
As part of our ongoing effort to make desertoazis.com accessible and usable for all visitors, we have implemented the following adjustments:

  • Language setting — The language of the site has been clearly defined to support screen readers and translation tools.

  • Structured content order — Pages are organized in a logical, consistent order that makes sense when navigated with assistive technologies.

  • Clear heading structures — All pages use defined and hierarchical heading levels to help users navigate content efficiently.

  • Alternative text for images — Meaningful images across the site include descriptive alternative text for visitors using screen readers.

  • Color contrast compliance — Text and background color combinations have been selected to meet the contrast ratio requirements set out in WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines.

  • Reduced motion — We have minimized the use of animations and motion effects to support visitors who may be sensitive to movement on screen.

  • Accessible files and media — Any documents, audio, or video content available on the site has been reviewed to ensure accessibility compliance.

  • Keyboard navigation — The site can be navigated using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse.

  • Accessible forms — Contact forms and booking elements include properly labeled fields to ensure screen reader compatibility.


Accessibility at Our Physical Location
Our clinic at 11648 E Shea Blvd, Suite 115, Scottsdale, AZ 85259 is committed to physical accessibility as well as digital.

​

Declaration of Partial Compliance
Some functionality on our website — including the online appointment booking system — is provided through third-party platforms. While we select partners who prioritize accessibility, we cannot guarantee full WCAG compliance for those third-party components. We continue to evaluate and advocate for accessible third-party tools and will update this statement as improvements are made.

​

Requests, Issues, and Suggestions
We take accessibility feedback seriously. If you encounter any barriers on our website, have difficulty accessing any content or feature, or would like to request information in an alternative format, please reach out to us directly. We will do our best to respond promptly and resolve the issue.
