Grosse Pointe Woods, MI Drs and Health Practioners

At Advanced Dental Center, dentist Rachel Talis and her team keep smiles healthy and beautiful. Dr. Talis graduated from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, and went on to complete advanced training in areas such as dental implants and the treatment of gum disease. She also performs Zoom! teeth-whitening sessions that erase stains from smoking, drinking coffee, or mistaking a fountain pen for black licorice.

Dr. Tom Haas might be the one examining clients at Imaage Cosmetic Surgery Center, but there’s a chance they might recognize his face as well. The board-certified plastic surgeon has made multiple television appearances, been featured in numerous magazine articles, and offered advice in several educational cosmetic surgery videos. Readers of LEO Weekly named Dr. Haas the area’s best plastic surgeon in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and the center also earned the publication's best spa award in 2011. The state-of-the-art cosmetic surgery suite puts client satisfaction first, offering a discrete exit for patient privacy and a comfortable waiting area for loved ones. Most procedures can be performed under Twilight anesthesia, which reduces undesirable side effects such as grogginess and mid-session snoring. The center's registered nurse and licensed aestheticians also perform a variety of nonsurgical services, including laser facial treatments, peels, and body-contouring VelaShape sessions.

At Elwart Family Chiropractic, Doctor of Chiropractic Derek Elwart relies on an arsenal of noninvasive chiropractic services to alleviate spinal ailments without the use of surgery or drugs. Rather than limiting his focus to specific problem areas, Dr. Elwart adopts a holistic approach that accounts for the body’s overall health before determining the proper course of treatment. First visitations commence with a consultation, during which the doctor identifies chronic ailments and discusses treatment options. Even the slightest of abnormalities stands little chance of escaping Dr. Elwart’s eye as he peruses spinalscapes in search of bulging discs, pockets of tension, and unturned wind-up keys. Treatments for back injuries and other maladies may involve any combination of corrective exercise, adjustments, massage, and a Zamboni that rolls across shoulders to resurface ragged musculature.

A native of Sterling Heights, Dr. Jeffrey K. Rauch graduated with honors from Life Chiropractic College in Georgia in 1979 before practicing as an associate in one of the largest chiropractic centers in the country. A year later, he opened the Rauch Chiropractic Life Center, where he's been practicing for the past 30 years. His experienced staff, which includes certified massage therapists, a nutrition consultant, and assistants, focuses on maintaining health without the use of drugs, surgeries, or soul stealing, and by encouraging exercise and conscious eating habits.

Within the center’s welcoming confines, visitors can work with Erin Ryan, a nutrition consultant, to test neurological reflexes, which can reveal how well organs, muscles, and joints are running. Certified massage therapists knead backs during massage sessions, and spine specialists realign torsos with spinal-adjustment services.

Dr. E. Maurice Henderson leads the crew of dental hygienists and assistants that make up Dedicated Dental Services & Onyx Dental Associates. Dr. Henderson splits his time between two locations, where he removes plaque and tartar from teeth and lint from zipper pockets in the inner cheek. The doctor performs not only routine cleanings and exams, but also restorations, teeth whitening, and root canals.
