Holt, MI Drs and Health Practioners

One stroll around the office and it’s clear Gregory H. Grady, DDS, PC, specializes in cosmetic dentistry. At a given time, one may find Dr. Grady and his staff creating Invisalign aligners, performing Zoom! teeth-whitening treatments, replacing plaque with porcelain fillings, or painting impeccable 5mm x 5mm reproductions of Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks painting on front teeth. Dr. Grady’s efforts have even drawn the attention of ABC 53, where he is the resident cosmetic dentist on the television show Extreme Makeover’s Extreme Team.

Creative Lifeflow guides mind, body, and spirit with a holistic approach developed by Nancy Gurney, a certified colonic hydrotherapist and enzyme therapist, registered yoga instructor, and raw-food chef. The center's colonic-care services address the body's ramshackle tenements, hosing down internal alleyways and repaving circulatory highways. Nancy removes toxins with a full slate of detoxifying programs that includes ear coning to remove wax and enzyme therapy to dispose of cellular waste. A nonmedically trained physician, she draws on first-hand knowledge and experience to equip clients with the information necessary to slay their internal demons with safe alternative methods.

Lake Lansing Family Practice’s medical experts attend to patient needs ranging from family medicine to personalized skincare. Dr. A. J. Ronan takes on wrinkle reduction as a certified-physician injector of Botox and Dysport, which can forestall frown lines for up to three months. The family practice's onsite skincare specialist oversees a barrage of other aesthetic services, including microdermabrasion and chemical peels. Antifuzz specialists vaporize unwanted hair with Syneron Comet laser technology, which combines diode-laser and bipolar radio-frequency energies to target and disable follicles—a successful pairing that rivals the time Fred and Ginger tap-danced on a giant peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich.

Both of the doctors of chiropractic at Okemos Family Chiropractic can attest to the benefits of chiropractic care. Dr. Craig Heinrich says it has alleviated his back pain and boosted his overall health, and Dr. Kirby Perrault notes that his wife’s spine has restrengthened after years of instability. They treat a laundry list of chronic pains, including carpal tunnel, slipped disks, tennis elbow, and pogo-stick ankle. After a consultation, they prescribe the proper treatment from a list of techniques including traditional spinal adjustments, massage therapy, and detoxifying footbaths.

After spending more than 25 years perfecting the balance between technical know-how and attentiveness to patients' needs, Michael Crete, DDS, was named the best dentist in 2012 by Grand Rapids Magazine. Dr. Crete shares his extensive knowledge and caring nature at Rivertown Dental Associates, alongside a talented and caring staff. Together, the team performs general and cosmetic treatments for every member of the family.

Visitors to the practice are immediately put at ease with warm blankets, pillows, and freshly brewed headphones. The office has also been designed with children's comfort in mind: they can spend time in a colorful play area and give mid-cleaning hugs to Oliver, the resident teddy-bear puppet with a winning smile. That same thoughtfulness extends beyond the office walls: Dr. Crete gives back to the community by supporting a local ballet company and a nonprofit group that helps people with disabilities.

Dr. Szagesh and his team at Health First Chiropractic Clinic P.C. aim to relieve musculoskeletal pain through a variety of services. X-rays and posture screenings can detect misaligned backbones during an initial consultation. On consequent visits, staff work to straighten spines and soothe aches with chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic massage.
