Lilburn, GA Drs and Health Practioners

Whether he's scouring teeth free of plaque throughout routine cleanings or resurfacing stained facades with a set of veneers, Atlanta Dental Arts’s presiding oral surgeon Dr. Williams goes out of his way to maximize oral health. He bans latex and mercury from his office and employs only digital radiography, which emits less radiation and makes dental x-rays easier to post to online dating profiles. His ongoing dental education regarding new techniques, such as Lumineers and ViziLite oral-lesion detection, allows him to keep smiles pristine with greater comfort and efficiency.

Broadening her dental skills is a never-ending mission for Dr. J. Kaur of Diamond Dental. Upon graduating from the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine at Boston University, she started out in private practice, but soon felt the urge to learn even more about her profession. This ever-increasing drive led her to attain board certification in general dentistry and eventually to earn memberships in such professional groups as the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and the Hinman Dental Society. Today, Dr. Kaur continues her education by enrolling in courses every year to study the latest advances in oral treatment, emerging dental technologies, and techniques to provide excellent care to patients.

A board-certified general dentist and dental surgeon, Dr. Gangwisch has practiced in Lilburn since 1979, and has relationships with local patients that stretch back more than 20 years. Together with his colleague Dr. John Hulsey, he has cultivated a practice that specializes in taking the fear out of a trip to the dental chair. To ease the discomfort and nervousness sometimes associated with dental work, Dr. Gangwisch regularly administers a variety of anesthetics that render patients blissfully numb to a wisdom tooth's extraction and subsequent embittered insults. In addition, his staff often allays anxieties by outfitting patients with headphones tuned to pleasant music. Likewise, reclining patients can distract themselves from the dental proceedings by watching the flat-screen television mounted into the exam-room ceiling.

Dr. Al Rosenthal is not only a board-certified plastic surgeon but also an educator. At Plastic Surgery Of Gwinnett, he takes the time to sit down or levitate with his patients and make sure that they have all the information about the nip or tuck that they're interested in. It's important to Dr. Rosenthal that decisions to undergo surgery are informed and not driven by hard-sell tactics. He performs each procedure—including liposuction, tummy tucks, and face-lifts—with the help of a licensed aesthetician skilled at rejuvenating the skin as well as friendly nurses and assistants.

Virtual Imaging's office is the only place in the state of Georgia where you can find Imatron's EBT C300 scanner. The high-tech piece of medical CT scanning equipment helps its subjects prevent heart attacks by spotting coronary calcium and plaque deposits, and can also detect the telltale signs of lung and colon cancer before the disease takes hold of the body. Using electron beam tomography (EBT), the scanner also records diagnostic images of the spine and abdominal area using less radiation than a standard CT machine and none of the props found in a typical photo booth.

A licensed chiropractor specializing in sports medicine and nonsurgical orthopedics, Dr. David Ficco works to heal his patients with natural solutions to common chiropractic problems. He adjusts and manipulates spines to bring discs back into alignment after they've escaped from their normal spots due to trauma or injury, relieving frequent problems with the muscular and central nervous systems. Chiropractic work may also alleviate a range of other maladies including allergies, back pain, headaches, and neck pain. Dr. Ficco can even improve relatively healthy spines, improving overall health with chiropractic massage—performed by licensed massage therapists—that maximizes musculoskeletal efficiency and remove toxins hiding in the muscular safe houses.
