What Services are NOT Covered with my Membership?

  • Tests run at an outside lab. If you have insurance, the lab can use your insurance card for these.

How Do I Cancel My Membership?

We hope you don't have to make this decision, but if you do, there is no penalty to you. Your membership will terminate 30 days from the time of notice. If you decide to return at a later time, there may be a re-enrollment fee.

Medical Ear Piercing

Medical ear piercing is a safe, clean and comfortable ear-piercing option and our goal is to make it festive, not scary. Medical ear piercing is performed by a medical professional (Dr. Galla!) in the privacy of an exam room.

Dr. Galla uses The Blomdahl system, which was developed entirely upon what is known as the “modern aseptic technique” within the health care industry. This means that all of the products and methods are safely designed to avoid the spreading of infection and exposure to nickel allergy during the piercing process. The sterile method guarantees that the piercing is hygienic and safe.

Medical ear piercing is available to members for $80 and to non-members for $100. Members should request an appointment through the app and non-members by sending us an email.

Dr. Beth Galla of Sweetbay Pediatrics uses her stethoscope to listen to an infant patient that's being held in their mother's arms. The baby is facing the camera.
