Practice Overview 

Fun, compassionate addiction clinic that serves any and all patients with addiction. This is a great place to work if you are looking to give back to our communities/society in a slightly different way. 

Office Culture 

Close family of team and providers- great importance on compassion and empathy towards our patients!  FUN!!!  Great teaching atmosphere!  While we see a lot of patients, we do not have the high level of activity requirements that primary health does, so our office is a bit slower than those fast-paced environments!  GREAT for anyone wanting to give back to society!
