Care for the whole family, under one roof.

The Practice

You may be greeted at the door.

Paix and Luz are part of the practice. They take their work very seriously.

For some clients, especially children, the dogs help ease the first visit. Paix is the older of the two and will usually reach you first. If you would rather not be met by a dog, say so when you book and they will be somewhere else.

The rest of the office is built on the same idea. 333 Third Street is designed to feel like a home rather than a clinic: soft light, real furniture, and room to breathe.
