Equal Access
Accessibility
Our commitment to a welcoming, accessible experience for every patient.
Our commitment
Dr. Brian O'Carroll, DPM and Five Cities Foot & Ankle are committed to ensuring our offices, our care, and our website are accessible to people of all abilities. We continuously work to meet or exceed the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
Office accessibility
- Both the Pismo Beach and Santa Maria offices are wheelchair accessible.
- Designated accessible parking is available adjacent to each entrance.
- Exam rooms accommodate mobility devices and lift-assisted transfers.
- Sign language interpreters can be arranged with advance notice.
- Materials in large print or alternate formats are available on request.
Website accessibility
We design our website to be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. Specifically:
- Semantic HTML structure with clear heading hierarchy
- Alt text for meaningful images
- Sufficient color contrast for body text and interactive elements
- Keyboard-navigable menus, links, and forms
- Form fields with associated, descriptive labels
- Focus indicators on all interactive elements
- Responsive layout that works on mobile, tablet, and desktop
