I encourage my patients NOT send me emails. I would much rather have them fax something (like BP readings) to me than email them. Nor do I use email to send any of my sensitive info (such as Tax Returns, financial statements, etc) to accountants, banks or others. I tried one of the free encrypted email programs and it was a real hassle.
