Matthew Hansen, DDS, the dentist at High Point, knows toothy nature so well he can instinctively tell when a molar is lying or an incisor has a deep fear of rejection. Your visit will begin with a complete inventory of your face's contents and an x-ray to inspect their roots, cores, and innermost wishes for cavities, fissures, or soft spots. The vacuum thingy and industrial-strength toothbrush then work their magic on your whitey mouthpearls, getting you ready to bite things, chew food, or impress the jury with a beautiful, innocent smile.

Dr. Randel B. Wing of Premier Acupuncture Clinic, who's board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, heads a staff who helps patients find balance and wellness through a range of holistic treatments. Acupuncture—insertion of fine needles at key points on the body—facilitates the flow of qi along energy pathways, bringing equilibriums thrown off by wayward somersaults back into balance. The clinic employs other traditional Chinese treatments, such as Chinese herbs, for an extensive list of maladies including addiction, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.

Doctors of Chiropractic Mark Rocco, a former personal trainer, and Joshua Lemburg, who practices chiropractic on animals as well as people, improve health by combining medical skills, holistic remedies, and modern technology at Springs Family Wellness.

In 1976, busy California mother Joan Barnes wanted nothing more than to find a play place where she and her kids could enjoy age-appropriate, educational activities. Finding none, she developed her own innovative play environment within a developmental-based program structure now known as Gymboree Play & Music. Today, kids tumble and learn in more than 650 locations in 33 countries around the world, engaging in open play and classes designed to build cognitive and motor skills. As parents participate in their child’s development, their kids learn to paint, play music, and interact socially outside of their preschool knitting circles.

Doctors of Chiropractic Kurt Perkins and Ron Salvaggione believe that health is more than the lack of painful symptoms. True well-being stems from lifestyle choices that contribute to a balanced body. To help guide clients toward holistic wellness, they use a series of chiropractic techniques, which targets the underlying neuromuscular imbalances that can cause fatigue, chronic pain, or an inability to win a staring contest against your own reflection. Their care goes beyond alleviating current ailments, however. The doctors also help each patient understand how everyday posture and emotional states can affect overall health and how being conscious of them can help prevent the resurgence of pain.
