Dr. Feiler has practiced dentistry for more than 30 years. His emphasis on continuing education has helped the practice's dentists and hygienists to keep their cosmetic, preventive, and surgical treatments current.

Each dentist and dental assistant is trained to identify and eliminate tooth decay, stave off oral-health problems with preventive services, and explain to bottom teeth that they will never rise to a position at the top.

In 2001, Rachel Lopez experienced a life-changing moment. For more than a year, she dealt with severe pain caused by shoulder surgeries, and though she worked through hours of physical therapy, it never dulled. She turned to acupuncture in the hopes that it would help ease her pain, if only a little. "The following day I woke up very energetic," says Rachel on her website. "I had found the relief that I had been looking for." She was so inspired by her treatment that she earned her acupuncturist certification and opened her own clinic, Bergen County Acupuncture, in 2005. There, to this day, she wields thin, sterile needles to ease bodily pain, reduce mental stresses, and soothe headaches by popping overly constrictive balloon hats.

Dr. Jody Bardash, member of the Academy of Facial Esthetics, knows how to make a face look beautiful. At Cosmetic Facial Center of New Jersey, he treats skin by carefully injecting Botox into wrinkled areas, smoothing away fine lines from smiling, frowning, or sleeping on a wad of newspaper.

Patients at Focus Eye Health & Vision Care Optometrists entrust their eyesight not only to the clinic's selection of stylish frames from more than 35 different designers, but to the highly skilled optometrists that care for their rods and cones. During his tenure as a lieutenant and optometrist in the US Navy, Dr. Matt Esperon employed bladeless vision-correction procedures to perfect the sight of aviators, building a successful career with humankind's two coolest inventions⎯lasers and fighter jets. Meanwhile, founder Dr. Paul Berman applies his decades of professional experience to treat a range of ocular-health problems, while still finding time to give back to the community through his involvement with programs such as the Special Olympics. Vases of flowers add a touch of homey charm to the office, and high-tech LASIK devices and sophisticated diagnostic equipment protect eyeballs with cutting-edge care.

Benefits of acupuncture are broad and offer relief from many conditions, including fibromyalgia, migraines, imaginary-friend wedgies, osteoarthritis, lower-back pain, and stress. During your visit, the professionals at Jacksonville Chiropractic and Acupuncture will give you a comprehensive exam, including a discussion of pain and other symptoms from which you seek relief. After your acupuncturist has evaluated your needs, the treatment begins, and hair-thin needles are inserted into the body at specific points. According to ancient Chinese medicine, these points correspond to convergences in the body's meridians and hold the mystical crystal-skull key to unlocking the body's life energy, unleashing a swirling maelstrom of relief and healthful ardor.
