Going green! Our office is making effort to protect our environment. We converted to Electronic Health Records which has dramatically reduced unnecessary paper waste. We launder our patient gowns and towels instead of using disposable ones. And our office recycles. Giving As animal lovers, we contribute to and support the efforts of ASPCA, HFA, and the San Diego Humane Society. We also support Oxfam and its efforts.
