Over the past 20 years, Dr. David B. Beemer has made it his business to get his hands dirty. Rather than just popping in for a quick chat ‘n’ check, the good doctor takes a special interest, even ensuring his clients’ dentures are a perfect fit by personally making them in-house. His lengthy career helps explain the long list of dental services he offers. He fills and bonds teeth, extracts them, and brightens them with in-office whitening that covers patients for life, which is how the skull in Hamlet maintains his pearly whites.

Dr. Clay Wickiser became a chiropractor after witnessing his father heal countless patients when he was a chiropractor.

Licensed acupuncturist and doctor of Oriental medicine James C. Kapetanakos clears out clogged meridians and reroutes blood flow to ailing areas during acupuncture sessions that bridge broken synapses between the mind and body. With calm, unwavering hands, the doctor inserts hair-thin needles into the skin to target pain at its source and clear away circulatory traffic jams. Having honed his skills in a variety of Eastern medical disciplines, Dr. Kapetanakos employs the same acupuncture techniques on patients that he once used to quell his own chronic pain and fear of balloon-wielding clowns. These techniques include neuromuscular reeducation, passive resistance, and a targeted “spot-shotting” method designed to address the root causes of ailments such as neck pain, headaches, and sports-related injuries.
