Chemotherapy

The word “cancer” instills a great deal of fear in most people. Almost everyone knows someone who has battled this dreaded condition. Animals get cancer, too. As with people, it is important to identify the cell type of cancer. The many different “cell-types” have dramatically different biologic behaviors within the body.

Dentistry

Exceptional Dental Care Commonly referred to as a “Dental” or “Teeth Cleaning”, a thorough, professional oral cleaning and assessment is essential for patient health and comfort.
