Gaithersburg, MD Drs and Health Practioners

When Dr. David Pinsky opened State of the Art Dental Group in 2001, it was the culmination of a dentistry career that at that point had already comprised nearly 20 years of experience. Now, together with Rustin Levy, DMD, and Ira Reiz, DMD, Pinsky delivers general dentistry and orthodontic services ranging from root canals and extractions to the popular Invisalign teeth-straightening method. Unlike lifelong cave dwellers, the doctors are comfortable exploring the area outside of the mouth—they also provide skin-smoothing injections that reduce the appearance of wrinkles for up to one year.

Shady Grove Ophthalmology founder Dr. Anthony Roberts has logged more than 30,000 refractive surgeries over the course of his prolific career. Dr. Roberts has been in private practice since 1996 and serves as the official ophthalmologist of the Washington Redskins. He regularly performs LASIK vision-correction and cataract surgeries, which help patients rid themselves of glasses and cumulonimbus lenses.

At Eyeland Eyecare Center and Luxoptics, friendly optical experts sharpen fields of vision and protect precious eye parts with thorough examinations and an arsenal of contacts, sunglasses, and traditional frames. Frames from labels such as Prada and Burberry add a touch of stylish class to pupils, and the store’s sophisticated software precalculates benefits from nearly all available insurance plans. After working alongside his brother at Eyeland for more than three decades, Robert Bojarski founded Luxoptics, a newly christened sister store built around the concept of outfitting clientele with modern, high-end eyewear and making the monocle popular again. Frames from Bulgari and Ray Ban grace faces with fresh designs, and selections from Persol complement patients’ heads with styles that blend old and new. Luxoptic’s sunny, high-ceilinged studio welcomes visitors with pristine white decor, and the in-house lab grinds lenses to computer-calculated specifications.

Voted one of the top dentists in the Washington metropolitan area by Washington Consumers' Checkbook, Dr. Henry Lee has served the dental needs of the Olney and greater-Washington community since 1979. After receiving his MS degree from the University of Notre Dame, he furthered his smile-tweaking training at the University of Maryland, where he was elected a member of the Prosthodontic Honor Society and the Phi Beta Cavity fraternity. Lee was also elected a fellow by the American College of Dentists in 1997, an honor bestowed on less than 3.5 percent of all dentists in the United States. A participant in the Ethics Summit's drafting of the U.S. dental code of ethics, Dr. Lee strives to respect the rights of patients and never takes an x-ray without asking the tooth's permission first.

After seven years honing his skills in the general- and plastic-surgery divisions of Charity Hospital in New Orleans, Timothy Mountcastle, MD, returned to his native Virginia to devote himself full-time to body beautification as head of Mountcastle Plastic Surgery & Vein Institute. Mountcastle couples a keen eye for aesthetic detail with years of experience in specializations that include ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, DIEP breast reconstruction, and insurance-covered mole and cyst removals. With a laser-like focus on patient satisfaction, the doctor commences aesthetic journeys with a consultation in which he patiently discusses the client’s wants and needs. Along with a small staff of registered nurses, the Institute boasts highly trained injectionists who send facial wrinkles running scared during Botox treatments supplemented by scary Richard Nixon masks.

Dr. Scarlett Logsdon and her professional staff keep smiles healthy and aesthetically pleasing through dental services that include crowns, bridges, and whitening treatments. They take care of developing teeth with pediatric dentistry, and preventative care such as regular cleanings enables them to ward off disease as teeth grow up and become defiant.
