I think it is safe to assume that most psychologists and physicians accept credit cards for payment of services within their practices.

The National Institute of Health (NIH) recently released a free evidence based […]
We recently filed a report about The British Medical Association’s Early Life Nutrition and Lifelong Health E-Book. This same organization publishes a free health and nutrition e-book geared toward adolescents, appropriately titled “Adolescent Health.” Adolescence can be challenging time for some, while not as turbulent for others. Poor health and nutrition, however, can make life […]
