Since 2010, we have strived to give back to our local community.

 

Community Involvement 

Our clinic ambitions and perspective was built for the long game. Meaning that we were never looking to push patients through our doors quickly. We feel that the relationships we build in the greater Kirkland community not only give us a great insight into how better to serve our community but also makes our job much more rewarding. 

We tend to get involved in several ways; donating financially, teaming with local charities and schools, and offer our medical expertise & opinions to the greater Kirkland area in the form of lectures, videos, running events, and seminars.
