This is a private, locally owned business practicing here in Bay City since 2008. Hours of operation are 8-5 with no evenings or weekends. The clientele is a heavy dose of post-surgical orthopedics with other patients with various injuries/ailments as well. I value a patient first attitude but also support a home life with advantageous hours of operation and paid time off.
Salary : $40 - $50
