THE PRECIOUS STORY
Precious Health was started in 2020 when a group of like-minded doctors realized that Lakewood desperately needed more Pediatricians to service the community. The mission was to bring a state of the art office to Lakewood and offer exceptional care to Lakewood's children. We've grown since that first day and look forward to now seeing you in our new beautiful office in Jackson.
