Georgetown, TX Drs and Health Practioners

The staff at Vitalogy Skincare tends to skin's health and appearance across eight dermatology locations. Medical-dermatology services cover conditions such as acne, rosacea, and hair loss; cosmetic dermatology focuses on looks with Botox and Juvéderm injections, as well as laser removal of spider veins and hair. Lasers also resurface skin or guide complexions through photorejuvenation, which diminishes the appearance of sun damage to restore younger, more vibrant looking skin. Vitalogy also tackles skin cancer with Mohs surgery—in which founding doctor Eric Adelman, DO, is a fellowship-trained physician—a precise method that quashes the cancer by carefully removing tissue layer by layer.

Gayla was sipping an organic iced coffee as she strolled down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC, contemplating her lifelong problem with stains. Whether spaghetti sauce on white shirts or the remnants of caffeinated drinks on teeth, stains bothered her deeply. Coffee. Stains. Teeth. That's when, walking by the White House⎯home to a Texan President at the time⎯she realized: everything's bigger in Texas, so why shouldn't that be true of their stains? She decided then to open an organic teeth-whitening spa in Austin. After her epiphany, Gayla gathered a team of beauty consultants, customer-service representatives, operations officers, and business consultants and opened My Texas Smile. She and her team pool their individual talents to brighten smiles for up to 12 months without using harsh chemicals.

At Family Dentistry, dentists Jordan Von Seht and Michael Caparas aim to provide technologically advanced services in a welcoming, kid-friendly setting. Dr. Caparas has completed hundreds of hours of continuing education to bring the latest techniques to his patients, and Dr. Von Seht was a practicing physical therapy before deciding to pursue a career in dentistry.

Before appointments for smile-smoothing veneers, Zoom! whitening sessions, Six Month Smiles treatments, or Invisalign aligners, patients nosh on complimentary refreshments while children sit in the play area and discuss baby teeth as a passive income stream. In the treatment rooms—which are outfitted in soothing earth tones and colorful artwork—staffers put guests at ease with blankets, movies and video games, and wireless Internet.

When he took over Capital Area Dentistry in June 2012, Dr. Bhavesh Bhakta brought with him a guiding philosophy that stressed the importance of building patients’ trust. Under his leadership, the once-inconsistent practice was transformed into a friendly, stable environment in which to receive oral health care. Through every dental implant, composite filling, and cleaning, he and the staff comfort and educate patients by explaining each step of the treatment. They even succeed with especially anxious patients, putting them at ease with nitrous oxide or by beatboxing the sounds of the rainforest.
