Dearborn, MI Drs and Health Practioners

Acupuncturist Soya Lee totes an impressive resumé that includes a master's degree in traditional oriental medicine. This expertise helps her administer tailored homeopathic services that include—in addition to the 2,500-year-old art of acupuncture—moxibustion, cupping, and gua sha. Through Chinese herbs, acupressure points, or stream-of-consciousness poetry, Lee's holistic therapies treat and abate a range of mental and physical conditions.

In 2010, inspired by their own experiences with an at-home infrared sauna, SuiteSweat founders Alex and Kate Samios set out to share the technology that had improved their lives with the world. Within four months, they had opened a second sauna studio, cementing their mission to provide "affordable technology-based wellness solutions" instead of leeches.

The private saunas, highlighted by Dr. Oz on The Oprah Winfrey Show, raise the body's core temperature to prompt detoxification. Chromotherapy uses the full spectrum of light to help adjust the body's vibrations, and the SuiteSound system present in some saunas helps gently relax the body with vibrations, soothing music, and whispers from Morgan Freeman.

As a vegetarian teen exploring meditation and yoga, Kathryn Knox probably did not expect that as an adult, she would cement her interest in the intersection of spirituality and health with a stint in the military and a grueling exam. The path to becoming a board-certified doctor of naturopathy and opening A Touch of Grace began with jobs in a health-food restaurant, a health-food store, and a health and fitness club carved out inside a giant apple. Along the way, she complimented her growing knowledge of nutrition with massage therapy and yoga-teacher training. Her progress was interrupted by a two-year enlistment in the U.S. Army, where she entered the 10th Special Forces, a Green Beret unit. Her curiosity about human physiology only deepened when she was away, so she became a licensed emergency medical technician after her enlistment, showing a proficiency that earned her a scholarship to nursing school. Drawn still to holistic healing, she turned down the offer and instead pursued energy healing and completed the Naturopathic Physicians course at Trinity College.

Now she oversees A Touch of Grace with more than a quarter century of experience. Massage is her principle focus, given that she is skilled in 14 modalities. Among them are traditional Swedish and deep-tissue therapies that relax and heal injury, respectively, a Hawaiian style that mimics the roll of the ocean, and a series that eases women's bodies during pregnancy. As a doctor of naturopathy, she can evaluate your health with a 10-point exam that results in programs of Isotonix supplements and herbal tinctures.

Dr. Vinita Sharma, a board-certified OB/GYN, tucks more than 25 years of experience into her lab coat. Along with her crew of experienced technicians, she provides clients with a lengthy list of aesthetic services, each beginning with a complimentary consultation.

Patients looking to smooth wrinkles from their smile canvases may choose Botox treatments or Juvéderm dermal fillers, or make use of Dr. Sharma’s Cynosure Elite MPX laser system. Unlike traditional intense-pulsed-light (IPL) lasers, the office’s Cynosure laser combines IPL technology with the skills of two laser wavelengths. This light-powered trifecta quickly and effectively restores skin of any shade to a more youthful appearance. The single system can be utilized for myriad purposes—permanently ridding bodies of unwanted hairs, removing spider veins from legs and faces, and reversing the signs of aging and sun damage, such as sun spots that look like the face of your grandfather clock.

Dr. Philip H. Kresch understands the frustration that comes with having toenail fungus. Working in the podiatry field for more than 30 years, he's seen patients battle with ineffective topical solutions and oral medications that can cause undesirable side effects, such as uncontrollable quickstepping. The pursuit of an effective, no-fuss treatment led him to affix his office with the latest technology for battling toenail fungus—the Q-Clear laser system. Unlike with previous laser procedures, the system's calibrated energy wavelengths can destroy fungal growths without the use of medications in as little as one to three treatments.

Certified by the American Board of Surgery, Dr. Alnajjar uses his medical expertise to improve both the aesthetic and functional properties of the human body. He specializes in plastic and reconstructive surgery, including face-lifts, tummy tucks, breast augmentation, and a microsurgical technique for the repair of wounds and fear of broccoli. His team also administers nonsurgical treatments, such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and Botox injections.
