PAW Health Network’s mission is to make patient care both available and affordable. These days, that’s not an easy feat, so for that to happen, we created a unique process that maximizes the efficiency of patient care. As we offer patient services ranging from basic wellness all the way to urgent care.

 We offer affordable supportive services, such as therapeutic laser treatments and progressive arthritic management, PAW Health’s support staff aims to improve overall quality of life for patients beyond the initial consultation of disease management.

From basic wellness to urgent care, PAW Health Network is available to see and treat patients on a same-day basis 24 hours per day including nights, holidays and weekends. PAW Health provides board-certified surgical services for a variety of pre-scheduled soft tissue and orthopedic services.
