By accessing or using the website at www.peakclinics.com (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Site.
The Site is owned and operated by Robert A Barton & Associates, LLC, doing business as Peak Performance Spine & Sports Medicine (“we,” “us,” or “our”), located at 6021 Fairmont Pkwy Suite 250, Pasadena, TX 77505.
The Site provides educational information about spinal health, biomechanics, and treatment options offered by Peak Performance Spine & Sports Medicine. Through the Site, you may:
The content on this Site — including text, graphics, videos, assessments, and other materials — is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
No doctor-patient relationship is created by your use of this Site, completion of any online form, or submission of any assessment. A doctor-patient relationship is established only after you have been formally accepted as a patient and have had an in-person evaluation at our clinic.
The educational content on this Site is based on Dr. Robert Barton’s clinical experience and observations over nearly three decades of practice. Individual results vary, and not everyone is a candidate for the treatments discussed. The information presented should not be interpreted as a guarantee of specific outcomes.
You should not rely on any information on this Site as a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before making healthcare decisions. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency services immediately.
The Back Pain Pathway Assessment available on this Site is an educational self-evaluation tool. It is not a medical diagnosis. The results are intended to provide general educational context about your situation and do not replace a professional clinical evaluation.
Your assessment responses may be used to provide you with relevant educational information and to help prepare for a potential consultation. The assessment does not guarantee any specific treatment recommendation or outcome.
We offer consultation vouchers for purchase through the Site. By purchasing a consultation voucher, you agree to the following:
Pricing — The standard consultation fee is $159. From time to time we offer a promotional rate — currently $49 — as listed on the Site at the time of your request. The $49 promotional consultation is not available to Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal health program beneficiaries. The consultation determines whether decompression fits your case; it is not a promise of outcome.
What Is Included — The consultation voucher covers an initial evaluation with Dr. Barton, including a biomechanical examination and, where appropriate, an initial treatment session. The consultation does not include ongoing treatment. Treatment plans and associated costs, if applicable, are discussed separately during your visit.
Payment Processing — Payments are processed securely through Stripe, Inc. We do not store your credit card or financial account information on our servers. All payment transactions are subject to Stripe’s terms of service and privacy policy.
Refund Policy — Consultation vouchers are fully refundable. To request a refund, contact us at communications@peakclinicteam.com or call 281-991-3002.
