News and Updates: In LA County masks are again required indoors regardless of your vaccine status. If you are not wearing a mask we may turn you away, thanks your your understanding. Thank you for all your support during these times!
In November we will be closed the entire week of the 22nd to observe Thanksgiving.
We are very grateful for our growing patient base and out of respect to all our patients, new and old, we will be implementing a new no show/24 hour cancellation policy. For the first no show or cancellation without 24 hour notice we will waive the fee, however the second and any other occurrence afterward will result in a $25 charge.
WE TURNED 6 YEARS OLD IN OCTOBER! Thank you to everyone that has supported us over the years and we hope to serve in your care for many more years to come.
