Acworth, GA Drs and Health Practioners

Dr. Fred Abeles applies his expertise as a clinical instructor and regional director at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies to train a team of talented and personable technicians. Staff members assess oral health with a thorough examination, incorporating bitewing x-rays to check for soft spots, discoloration, and hidden caches of pirate bullion. The teeth cleaning clears away debris and stains and a fluoride treatment fortifies smiles with an extra layer of calcium, revealing a smooth and shiny set of mouth pearls. To retain their mouths' ivory luster, patients receive a set of take-home teeth-whitening trays to brighten bicuspids and molars when accidentally locked in a malfunctioning fallout shelter.

Being a well-adjusted individual takes more than abstaining from pants-less fashion trends and toting hummus buckets on a crowded train. Chiropractic services can help align the body’s components and promote overall health. Even if you don't suffer from back pain, chiropractic care can make your body more inhabitable for muscles, nerves, and organs, and a properly aligned spine can improve symptoms of depression as well. At Health Plus Wellness Center, Dr. Joe Esposito brings years of spine-soothing experience to the proverbial table made of elephant-spine proverbs and papier-mâché. Patients will benefit from a bevy of chiropractic treatments split over two visits. The first visit entails an informative consultation about the patient’s health condition, a thorough examination, and x-rays that peek in your skeleton attic to diagnose unseen problems. The doctor will study your x-rays and health history before inviting you for a second appointment, during which you'll get a thorough explanation of the doctor's findings before the chiropractor gives you a body-aligning adjustment.

Representing the third generation in a local family of dentists, Dr. Cary Goldstein opened his eponymous dental clinic in 1995 to culminate what is now 75 years of dental care under the Goldstein name. Dr. Goldstein and his team of dentists and hygienists address a full spectrum of tooth-related complaints, brushing and flossing patients' mouths free of tartar and tartar sauce during cleanings, keeping smiles pearly with a variety of over-the-counter or in-office whitening treatments, or restoring order to undulating toothscapes with clear braces and dental implants. He also ensures new patients receive thorough initial exams and x-rays, allowing him to keep tabs on their dental improvement over subsequent visits.

Founded by Dr. Stephen Joffe and Craig Joffe, a father-and-son team who used LASIK eye surgery to correct their own vision, Joffe MediCenter has four locations across the country where expert ophthalmologists use advanced diagnostics to conduct each custom wavefront LASIK surgery. Treatment begins with a free, noninvasive examination with Bausch & Lomb Orbscan and Zywave mapping systems—derived from technology developed for astronomy and physics applications. They generate a 3-D model of each eye, which, like a fingerprint or favorite line from The Princess Bride, is unique to each person.

Upon assessing the results to confirm LASIK candidacy, doctors schedule an in-office surgery in their state-of-art clinic. The LASIK procedure is designed to eliminate your need for glasses and contacts regardless of whether you suffer from nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. The vast majority of patients experience 20/20 vision the next morning after treatment. After the procedure, doctors will schedule postoperative exams.

Education is key for board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Marcus Crawford. After graduating from Baylor College of Medicine, he went on to receive extensive training in cutting-edge reconstructive techniques at MD Anderson Cancer Center, which eventually led him to volunteer for a mission with Operation Smile in Lima, Peru, where he worked to repair cleft lips and other palate deformities in children. He also believes his patients should be properly educated about the procedures they undergo at his namesake office, and so Dr. Crawford and his team discuss each treatment option during a thorough consultation that reveals each patient’s beauty needs and aesthetic goals, and chart the best course of treatment.

Along with cosmetic surgery for the face and body, Crawford Plastic Surgery also offers nonsurgical med-spa services that include microdermabrasion and wrinkle-reducing dermal fillers, such as Botox and Juvéderm. The office is also outfitted with disposable permanent-makeup equipment, which technicians use to tattoo organic, cosmetic-colored ink onto skin, thus defining the brows, lips, and eyelids, or camouflaging scars caused by a malfunctioning magical wand.

LabTest MD’s team screens patients for allergies, STDs, paternity status, and even steroid use—overall, it offers more than 2,000 medical tests. A CLIA-certified lab processes each one and typically releases the results in 72 hours or less. As at a doctor’s office, test results are confidential; however, unlike at a doctor’s office, patients have complete control over which tests they undergo.
