“At my first visit, Dr. Harris found places in my neck and spine that had deteriorated. I accepted Dr. Harris’ full recommendations, and before I was even halfway through I felt a difference! Now I’ve gone from two to three debilitating headaches per week to one easily-controlled headache every five to six weeks. When I feel it coming on, I take a pain pill and knock it right out. The medications I took for all those years only masked the real issues and barely held the pain at bay. Dr. Harris and his chiropractic techniques got to the root of the problem. Now I see him periodically for a tune-up.”

“It may sound like a small thing, but when I looked at Dr. Ahmadi’s ‘Before and After’ pictures, I really noticed how natural all the belly buttons looked. He’s such an artist, that even the smallest details are perfect. Thanks to Dr. Ahmadi, I have a pretty, symmetrical little belly button as the finishing touch on my new look.”

Male menopause. Is it a myth? “No man suffering from the ill effects of low testosterone would say that,” says Dr. Campbell. “We’ve been acculturated to expect women to go through menopause, but men go through something equally radical—and it’s happening at a younger age in many cases.” Symptoms can seemingly develop overnight: unexplained weight gain, especially around the midsection, loss of energy, diminished sex drive, erectile dysfunction, even a loss of well-being and confidence. Some men become angry with little or no provocation, depressed, anxious, or they no longer take pleasure in doing things they once enjoyed, Muscle mass diminishes, memory loss increases. Are men doomed to just accept these conditions as the natural consequence of aging? “Absolutely not!” says Dr. Campbell. “Balancing your hormones can make you feel twenty years younger!”

Are your kids excited about seeing the dentist? Dr. Sanchez says, “ We have a lot of fun, even when we’re taking a digital x-ray to make sure everything’s OK. Once in a while a wiggly tooth is so loose that my magic toothbrush does the trick. Other times I’ll whisk ‘magic gauze’ over your wiggly tooth and the next thing you know…it’s out! The tooth fairy doesn’t care whether your tooth falls out on its own or I give it a little help...she’s happy as long as it’s healthy and strong!”

Though early screening is recommended, the most common age for orthodontic treatment is 11 to 15…when self esteem is crucial! Dr. Bright says, “I have children (a lot of them!) at home.

We offer Invisalign, ceramic, metal, and lingual (behind the teeth) braces. We work with you to find a solution, because treatment at this age impacts a teen’s bright future.”
