Built to be usable, and honest about the gaps.
Many of our patients are reading this while in pain, exhausted, or on a phone in a waiting room. Accessibility here is not a compliance exercise.
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 at Level AA. We have tested against them ourselves. We have not been independently audited, so this page describes what we have actually checked rather than claiming a certificate we do not hold.
What we have done
Keyboard. Everything on this site can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone. The first thing you reach on any page is a "Skip to content" link, so you do not have to tab through the navigation on every page. Whatever is focused is visibly outlined.
Contrast. Every color that carries text was measured. Body text sits at 4.97:1 and headings at 10.98:1 against white, both past the 4.5:1 the guidelines ask for. The gold in our branding is decorative, and it fails that test, so wherever gold carries words we use a darker version of it. That is why gold headings and gold buttons are not quite the same gold as the rules and dividers.
Structure. Each page has one main heading and a heading order that does not skip levels, so a screen reader can be used to navigate a page rather than read it start to finish. Every page declares its language. Images carry descriptions.
Movement. Sections fade in gently as you scroll. If your device is set to reduce motion, that is switched off and the content simply appears.
The contact form. Every field has a real label. If something is wrong, the message is attached to the field it belongs to rather than only shown at the top, and confirmation and failure messages are announced rather than only displayed.
Interruptions. There are none. No pop-ups, no cookie banner, no newsletter overlay, no chat widget, no autoplaying video or sound. Nothing on this site moves or appears unless you asked it to.
What we know is imperfect
This is a short list today and we would rather it were accurate than short.
- No independent audit. Our testing is our own. Testing by disabled users is a better standard and we have not done it yet.
- The anatomical figure is a complex image. Its description names the structures drawn, which is enough to know what is being shown, but it is not a full alternative to seeing the drawing. If it matters to you, call us and we will talk you through it.
- Some layouts are dense on a small screen, particularly the fee list, which is a table of numbers by nature.
If something does not work for you
Please tell us. It is the fastest way for this list to get shorter, and we would rather hear about it than have you give up on the page.
Email info@bostonendocare.com or call(617) 716-7000. It helps if you can say which page, and what happened, but a rough description is fine. We will reply, and we will tell you either when it is fixed or that we have not managed it yet.
You never have to use this website to become a patient. Everything here can be done by phone instead, including asking for a consult, asking what something costs, and having any of this read to you. Nothing about the way you contact us changes the care you get.
Changes
