Accessibility Statement | Your Hastings Dentist

Your Hastings Dentist is committed to ensuring our services and our website are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We strive to provide care and information in a way that respects the dignity and independence of every patient, consistent with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Our website

We aim to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. In practice, this means we work to provide:

Text that is readable and resizable, with sufficient colour contrast;
Descriptive alternative text for meaningful images;
Keyboard-navigable menus, links, and forms;
A clear, consistent page structure that works with screen readers.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We test and improve the site over time, and some content may not yet fully meet every guideline. If you encounter a barrier, please tell us — your feedback directly helps us fix it.

Accessibility at our clinic

We want your visit to be comfortable and barrier-free. If you need an accommodation — such as assistance in the office, extra time, communication support, or information in an alternative format — please let us know when you book, and we will do our best to arrange it.
