In the face of the COVID-19 outbreak, NWVA is striving to continue to provide services to you and your pet in a safe manner. If you are not feeling well, please do not hesitate to call or email to reschedule. For those of you bringing patients to the clinic, if you would prefer to wait in your vehicle while your pet is receiving acupuncture, please let me know and we can decrease your risk of exposure to people in close quarters. I will do my best to accommodate special requests as the situation unfolds. Please contact me with any concerns. Sending love and positive thoughts in this stressful time!
