Referral and Relief Services for Veterinarians
Dr. Bacon is happy to provide specialty consulting services to your clients in need of chiropractic care. If you have multiple clients or cases of concern, setting up dates of service at your facility can streamline care if further diagnostic imaging may be indicated. Please contact our office to discuss options that meet your needs. Providers or clients are welcome to contact us in cases of referral.
