Every visit begins with a complimentary, in-depth consultation before any treatment plan is created. Clients can request a consultation through the online booking system or the contact form. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM, and is closed on weekends.
The menu spans several areas.
