Laser ablation therapy is considered a minimally invasive procedure. This means that the technology allows for the “incisionless” removal of a varicose vein. Ultrasound imaging is used to identify the vein near the knee region. An extremely small needle is used to enter the vein. A small wire is then passed into and up the vein. Throughout the entire procedure, an ultrasound machine is used to help guide the wire to the very top of the vein, in the area of the groin. Local anesthesia is administered to insure the comfort and pain free experience we want all of our patients to experience. Join discussion...

When we detect a weak spot on one of our patient’s teeth we recommend at–home fluoride treatments to reverse the decay process. If the weak spot is left unchecked, a cavity may form, necessitating a filling. If decay is allowed to spread it may penetrate deeper into the tooth until it enters the nerve chamber of the tooth. Once this happens the nerve of the tooth is infected and the bacteria that caused the decay keep traveling through the chamber, to the roots, through the root canals and eventually can cause an abscess at the tip of the root. This can also result in the destruction of dental bone at the tip of the tooth root. Decay going through these stages results in the need for root canal therapy in order to save the tooth and stop the infection. If the root canal therapy isn’t done, the tooth needs to be extracted to prevent the spread of infection. Join discussion...

Microphlebectomy, is an outpatient, office procedure, is the removal of a large varicose vein through a small incision in the leg. It is a safe and effective method for improving the look and feel of the leg. The results, from a cosmetic point of view and from a pain relief point of view, are almost immediate. Unlike the old-fashioned stripping that was done until 2000, microphlebectomy is a simple, pain-free way to rid the leg of unwanted varicose veins. Join discussion...

No matter how hard we fight it, we all are born with our unique body shape. We inherit our grandmother’s hips, our mother’s long and lean legs and our father’s broad back – that is what we’ve got to work with, ladies! Nowadays, we buy our clothing off the rack and unknowingly ask our bodies to conform to a one size (4, 8 or 12) fits all world, (which is why we try on 20 pairs of jeans and leave the store with nothing).

Your baby has his first pearly whites - but is it really necessary to visit the dentist this early? According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and many other dental authorities across the world, the answer is yes. It’s recommended you take him for a dental check-up at some point during his first year, or certainly by the time all his baby teeth are in his mouth (which is at about 21/2 years).
