Trained at Bascom Palmer Eye Hospital and Indiana University—one of the nation's top-ranked optometry schools—Dr. Jeff Brewer now leads a trio of doctors whose backgrounds include pediatric eye care and volunteer work in Guatemala and Afghanistan. The doctors put their varied experiences to work during routine eye exams, utilizing Optomap retinal-scan technology to create a map that, in about one-fourth of a second, reveals 80% of the retina's surface and 90% of the terrible things witnessed at Six Flags. This process gives an accurate window into the health of the eye without the need to dilate the patient's iris, a process that can be uncomfortable for children or people who are sensitive to light.

Dr. Nick Crom's interest in chiropractic medicine began in college, when a quick series of visits to a chiropractor relieved him of chronic nausea that had eluded the testing and prescription drugs of his doctors.

Rather than prescribing drugs to mask a disease's symptoms, Dr. Crom adjusts the spine in a way intended to stimulate the body's own self-healing capabilities.
