We are excited to announce that our clinic is making the transition out of curbside service! Please see our policy for the time-being below:

Clients who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and are wearing a face mask are permitted to enter our building.
Clients who are not vaccinated or not yet fully vaccinated will still receive curbside service at this time.
Curbside service is still available for any client who prefers it.

We are grateful to all of our clients who have had excellent patience over the past year. We ask that you continue to have patience as we transition back into the "new normal" that COVID has created. If you have any questions about our current policy, please contact us by phone. We will continue to update you throughout our transition.

😎🌴 BAYCREST GOES GREEN 🌴😎

We have recently installed 24 solar panels on the roof of our facility and a battery backup system to privde a reliable source of electricity. Even when the power goes out!

This was chosen to help lower our environmental footprint, as well as to be open following major weather events. By protecting our temperature sensitive inventory, we can better serve our community in the wake of power outages.
