Right on California City Blvd, easy to spot from the road. The crepe myrtles out front bloom most of the summer.

A small-practice waiting area, not a corporate lobby. Reading material for the kids, water for the dogs.

The grounds

Same building, golden hour. We think a well-kept exterior says something about what happens inside it.
