Ear piercing:
We use a special technique using hypoallergenic medical grade plastic earrings. They are attractive and will not cause an allergic reaction. The procedure is quick and easy, with minimal discomfort and can be done at any age above 6 months. The earrings can be replaced after 6-8 weeks , but many patients choose to keep them in longer. Call for an ear piercing appointment. The fee is $45.00. Mention you read about it here and receive a $15.00 discount.
