Pacific Foot & Ankle Center is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities.
We are continually working to improve access to the information, forms, and services available through www.pacificfootankle.com.
Our Accessibility Goal
Our goal is to improve the website’s conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, or WCAG 2.2, Level AA.
These guidelines provide recommendations for making digital content more accessible to people with visual, hearing, mobility, cognitive, and other disabilities.
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We will continue reviewing the website as its content, design, technology, and third-party services change.

Pacific Foot & Ankle Center takes the following measures to support website accessibility:
- Using logical page headings and content structure
- Providing descriptive alternative text for meaningful images

- Providing visible focus indicators for interactive elements
- Using descriptive link and button labels
- Labeling form fields and required information
- Providing understandable form instructions and error messages
- Supporting browser zoom and text resizing
- Designing pages for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
- Avoiding unnecessary flashing or rapidly moving content
- Reviewing downloadable forms and documents
- Evaluating new content and website features for accessibility
- Correcting identified accessibility barriers when reasonably possible
