Foley, AL Drs and Health Practioners

Dr. A. E. Miller’s path to Summit Dental was anything but direct. After manning a solo practice for 10 years, Dr. Miller sold it and moved to Hana, Maui, where he administered nonprofit dental services. When he returned to Pensacola, he continued to perform nonprofit dental services while also designing coursework and intricate hedge mazes for dental students at the University of Florida.

Soon after, he opened Summit Dental, reestablishing himself in private practice and employing his expertise in family and cosmetic dentistry. He and his experienced staff dedicate themselves to helping patients gain self-confidence with a smile-makeover approach, which seeks to optimize the natural beauty of each patient’s smile.

Foot and ankle specialist Dr. Joe Griffin tackles orthopedic and sports-related symptoms, diabetic foot management, and problems affecting the nerves, skin, and nails. His office, which is growing with its field, is outfitted with helpful podiatric technology including lasers that banish fungus, plantar warts, and scarring, and it includes corrective shoes in both traditional and coal-powered versions. Though his site reveals a rotating collection of testimonials from patients who praise Dr. Griffin's work at Coastal, the podiatrist also spends time away from his practice to treat patients at Thomas Hospital and Thomas Medical Center, as well as South Baldwin Regional Medical Center.

The staff at Sunrise Dermatology provides medical and cosmetic care to relieve their patients’ skin issues. Dr. Ryan Ramagosa leverages his internal medicine and dermatology backgrounds to diagnose and treat acne, eczema, and melanoma, while Dr. Scott Freeman combats skin cancer with Mohs micrographic surgery, a procedure that requires advanced specialty training. To bring clients’ image goals to stunning fruition, licensed master aesthetician Hanna Hogle cares for complexions with advanced chemical peels, Botox injections, and laser hair removal.

With a camera no bigger than a pen transmitting color images to a computer screen, dentists capture clear images of old fillings, areas of the gums possibly diseased, and otherwise undetectable cracks and chips. The doctors at L.A. Dental Day Spa use modern technology such as intra-oral cameras and digital x-rays to ensure that those fillings are still functional, the gums are healthy, and that damaged teeth don't develop more serious issues. While keeping apprised of such technology, they also stay up-to-date on modern techniques and cosmetic services. Zoom! whitening units glow in treatment rooms, and veneers leave patrons proud to smile as broadly as the models in a moon-bounce catalog.

The comprehensive wellness philosophy at Acupuncture and Chiropractic Center of Pensacola blends Eastern medicine with natural methods that Dr. Robert Cowan has honed over 25 years of practicing acupuncture and chiropractic treatments. Careful adjustments of the bones and joints aim to solve back and neck problems during chiropractic sessions. Slender acupuncture needles stimulate pressure points to release the body’s natural energy flows and preserve butterfly tattoos. Specialists reinforce physiques by developing individual nutrition and revitalize complexions with a spread of luxurious facial services.

At age 18, Dr. Sean Price of ChiroSpa felt the first twinges of back pain—a pain that continued to worsen, eventually sidelining him from martial arts training. After electing to have lower back surgery, he began researching natural alternatives in order to avoid having to make such a decision again. This led him to pursue a massage therapy license followed closely by a degree in chiropractics. These days, Dr. Price takes a holistic approach in his practice: instead of simply treating the symptoms, he looks for the underlying causes of pain such as working at a physically demanding job or sleeping in a dollhouse. He then consults with patients to recommend lifestyle adjustments and treat ailments with massage, nutritional counseling, and physiotherapy.
