Dr. Kshama Kheny has yet to meet the mouth she couldn’t make prettier. Her experience in the full range of restorative and cosmetic dental treatments has prepared her to beautify stained, chipped, or otherwise unhealthy teeth. She explains her many treatment options during consultations, showing patients detailed photos of their teeth snapped by intraoral cameras, and revealing clear shots of hidden maladies with digital x-rays.

The office’s technology doesn’t stop at diagnostics. Dr. Kheny seeks out the newest ways to make smiles shine. When correcting crooked pearlies, traditional braces are your best bet, and Invisalign braces stay out of sight and vanish altogether as soon as they slide on. Similarly, white composite fillings fit in seamlessly, and Dr. Kheny also works to get rid of plaque, tooth decay, and the rumor that dentists all live in caves.

During her eight years in private practice, Great American Dental's Dr. Haritha Tirupathi has cared for patients aged 3–90. Her cosmetic dental services can fit teeth with grin-enhancing accouterments such as Invisalign braces, dentures, and crowns, or polish away stains with Zoom! teeth-whitening treatments. Staffers also deploy state-of-the-art technology from intraoral cameras to digital x-rays—which emit less radiation than their analog counterparts—to check for decay during oral exams.

Pain & Injury Treatment Center's Doctor of Chiropractic evaluates and explains problem areas then treats achy muscles and joints with a noninvasive deep tissue laser. This tehnology sends soothing, concentrated heat and healing photons deep into the body and softens stiff scar tissue. The doctor then uses his healing hands to massage scar tissue and stiff muscles to help clients to move better again.

Dr. Michael A. Stein, board-certified podiatrist and founder of Foot Doctor of the East Bay, draws upon more than 20 years of experience as he treats patients from the ankle down. Having performed more than 4,000 successful laser treatments, Dr. Stein and his team of doctors and staff tackle ailments of the bone, skin, and nail, correcting bunions, vanquishing warts, and ousting ingrown toenails by barking at them until they emerge. Dr. Stein is a fellow of the American Academy of Ambulatory Foot and Ankle Surgery. Combing his expertise and a knack for clear communication, he wrote a book entitled Why Your Feet Hurt: A User's Guide to Foot and Ankle Health to help patients lead healthy lives full of dancing and free of pain.

A sports-related injury sent Doctor of Chiropractic Yang scrambling to the chiropractor’s office at a young age. Inside that office, he found out firsthand the importance of multidisciplinary care, and the experience turned his focus to a career as a chiropractor. Now the seasoned chiropractor uses his knowledge of pain, pain relief, and human anatomy to help patients of any age at his own office, Crow Canyon Chiropractic. Along with chiropractic services, Dr. Yang and his staff heal minds and bodies with rehabilitation programs, scoliosis screenings, nutritional counseling, and massage therapy. Advanced techniques and equipment, including x-ray imaging and spinal analysis, ensure that the doctor can accurately diagnose patients’ internal problems and finally discern the name of that song stuck in their heads.

The chiropractors at Bay Spine Centers draw upon decades of combined experience as they treat a number of painful conditions with an innovative technique known as nonsurgical spinal decompression (NSSD). They use a computerized traction device that targets the damaged area before gently stretching the spine and increasing the space between the vertebrae. The negative pressure can promote healing and relieve pain emanating from the nerve area, which can become crowded by disk material or codependent chair cushions. Designed to provide a noninvasive alternative to surgery, the process typically addresses discomfort that cannot be resolved with traditional chiropractic care or physical therapies.
