Bijoux

Bijoux (Bee-ju) is a two year old Standard Apricot poodle. Poodles are regarded as one of the most intelligent and sensitive breeds of dogs, and Bijoux is no exception. He is very friendly, well behaved, affectionate, sensititive to emotions and absolutely adores children. Another plus is that he does not shed and is hypoallergenic.

Bijoux has been seeing patients (by request only) since the beginning of our practice. He offers our patients an extra boost of love and a guaranteed Rx for stress reduction. He's playful and knows how to bring a smile to anyone.

- Bijoux is by request only and is always accompanied by Dr. Davis or Nadia Davis
- Bijoux has been certified as a therapy dog and is certified to accompany us with patients and to visit hospitals, pediatric wards and nursing homes.

Medical studies and field reports show that animals have a comforting, reassuring effect on people. Some of the therapeutic benefits of animal assisted therapy include:

- Decreased anxiety and depression
- Reduction of stress
- Increased self- esteem
- Stronger desire to communicate
- Lowered Blood Pressure
- Increased motivation to get well
- Decreased need for painkillers in some post-operative patients
- Reduced loneliness

 

Philosophy

Remember “Doc Baker” on the classic 1970s TV show “Little House on the Prairie”? Whenever little Laura was sick, Doc Baker raced in his horse and buggy to her bedside on the farm and remedied her malady. All the families in Walnut Grove cherished the personal interest, compassion, and wise counsel of Doc Baker. Now, with The House Doctor, you can experience that same one-on-one medical attention in your own Bay Area environment or in our office. Justin Davis will race to your bedside with the latest medical expertise and treatments at the ready. Dr. Davis is one of San Francisco’s finest housecall specialist physicians and has been providing primary- and urgent-care housecalls to the Bay Area since 2005. The practice is built upon the philosophy that excellent customer service and excellent patient care go together.
