Are you a hard working, animal-loving, slightly crunchy Veterinary Assistant or LVT who's looking for a unique workspace to learn and practice Integrative Medicine? Do you want to work with a team of people who go with the flow and take the day one step at a time? Would you like to help run appointments without feeling rushed?

As an Integrative clinic, we educate people on how supplementation supports whole-body health and, when needed, send home antibiotics. We started offering surgeries and dentistry at the beginning of this year and will continue to grow to be a full-service clinic by the end of the year by renovating the pharm/lab, getting in-house lab machines, turning one of our offices into another treatment space, and expanding offices to our upstairs space.
