Hypoallergenic Therapy Cats

During normal business operations, Powers Family Medicine is host to one or two of our exotic hybrid therapy cats. Five in total (but never at the office at the same time) Phoenix, Hyperion, Polaris, Fenrir, and Corvus are always eager to greet patients and lack the gene which triggers allergies. While we’ve never had anyone ever react to them, it’s always possible, so pet with care!

Relax, Play, and Create

We are gaming enthusiasts and our lobby features refreshing beverages, arcade games, art chalkboards, and all the streaming TV you can enjoy. Once you are escorted to a waiting room, a private TV awaits you where you can enjoy more streaming TV, play a classic Nintendo or Super Nintendo, or snuggle one of our therapy cats until it’s time to be seen!
