As dedicated as we are to bringing health, happiness and balance into our patient’s lives, it is equally important for us to be of service, helpful to the environment and those in need.
Some of the ways we honor this is by giving 10% of our income to charity, and both Dr. Evans and Monique Class work for non-profit organizations on a pro-bono or reduced fee basis.
Dr. Evans is an Honorary Director for the Pain Management Center and the Madurai Charitable Trust, a service organization dedicated to assisting disadvantaged people in Southern India.
