Wally - Everyone’s Friend
Wally's sweet, mellow nature brings many smiles to our patients. Born in 2016, our favorite labradoodle spends 2-3 days each week in our practice. He usually hangs out in Dr. Gilbreath's personal office or in the front with Lacey and Jana. We plan to train him soon as a therapy dog to accompany anxious patients during treatment.
When he's not in the office, Wally enjoys long walks around Normandy Park, fetching tennis balls, and swimming in The Cove. He'll also go after anything extra squeaky, give an extra scratch behind his ear, and be your best friend if you share something off your plate!
