For more than 40 years, Rauchberg Dental Group has been helping teeth stay healthy and smiles stay shiny with general, preventative, and cosmetic dentistry. To ensure that the practice’s reputation for personability stayed intact after his departure, founder Dr. Joel Rauchberg bestowed the practice to his son, Dr. Alan Rauchberg. The younger Dr. Rauchberg now leads the office’s six dentists, who count a periodontist and an endodontist among their ranks. Though each dentist uses a careful touch as they perform routine cleanings, root canals, Zoom! Whitening, and Invisalign treatments, anxious clients can find comfort in the blankets, pillows, and built-in TVs provided in each treatment room. Each room is also equipped with advanced technology that ranges from low-radiation digital x-rays and cavity-detecting DiagnoDent lasers to the ViziLite Plus with TBlue630 dye, which identifies early signs of oral cancer.

To thank their most dedicated clients, encourage word-of-mouth advertising, and inject a little fun into the workday, Dr. Rauchberg and his crew also hold regular patient-referral raffles. Past winners have gotten a smile workout thanks to prizes including iPads, TVs, and a Fiat 500 emblazoned with each dentist's face on the car doors.

Jeannie, along with her staff of instructors at Easy Fitness with Jeannie, leads a variety of classes designed to strengthen and tone muscles while burning fat.

For more than 30 years, the chiropractors at Davis Chiropractic Wellness Center have used their advanced training and several adjustment techniques to bring patients' health into balance. Doctor of Chiropractic Alfred Davis Jr. completed 400 hours of postdoctoral training in the treatment of sports injuries, and is a diplomat of both the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians and the American Academy of Pain Management. He is certified to perform manipulation under anesthesia, and has worked on the medical staff of two area hospitals. Doctor of Chiropractic Katherine Raymondi specializes in physiotherapy and is fluent in Spanish, which helps her to educate more people via the center's community outreach program.

Supported by their dedicated staff, the chiropractors align spines with various techniques, such as the Activator method, which realigns vertebrae with a mallet, and the computerized ProAdjuster method, which analyzes spinal waveforms to make ultra-precise adjustments. The technology was actually used by NASA to test the integrity of ceramic cooling tiles on spaceships as well as by civil engineers to test metal fatigue in aircraft, making it especially perfect for adjusting the spines of cyborg patients.

In 1976, Joan Barnes—a California mom frustrated with the lack of spaces where she could take her kids for safe and age-appropriate play time—took matters into her own hands and founded Gymboree Play and Music. In the decades since Gymboree’s founding, Joan’s vision of a safe place where youngsters could build confidence and creativity has come to fruition and spread to 30 countries around the globe. Staffed by attentive and expertly trained instructors, each Gymboree outpost adheres to a curriculum of activities designed by experts to foster the development of children's cognitive, physical, and social skills through structured play and close readings of Goodnight Moon. The staffers also conduct entertaining classes for parents, newborns, and children under 1 year that cover subjects ranging from music to sports, imparting valuable lessons of imagination and physical activity to developing minds. To further set apart her business, Barnes employed nationally renowned playground designer Jay Beckwith to design the proprietary play equipment at her centers.

As an an instructor at Newark Beth Israel Hospital, cosmetic dentist Dr. R. Craig Miller, teaches dental residents about implants, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. At The Miller Center for Esthetic Excellence, Miller and his associate dentist, Dr. Ben Pomeranc, repair smiles with cosmetic and implant services. In addition to replacing missing teeth with implants, he whitens teeth, fits patients for dentures, and even improves other facial features with Botox and Restylane injections. And whenever he has to restore a smile, he consults with patients to create a smile design that is tailored to them, ensuring that they look like a new, improved version of themselves and not like a slightly off version of Julia Roberts.
