Oak Lawn, IL Drs and Health Practioners

Over the course of more than two decades, Dr. William J. Couvelis has been beautified many smiles within North Pier Dental Associates. Beneath the exposed-brick walls of the River East office he puts to use knowledge gleaned as a member of the American Dental Association, Chicago Dental Society, and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. The team uses the latest technology and reconstructive techniques to fill cavities, prevent gum disease, and insert porcelain veneers, leaving smiles charming even when directed blankly at the only other person trapped in a haunted house.

Board-certified surgeon Michael Horn helps boost patients' confidence with cosmetic treatments that range from surgical face-lifts and rhinoplasty to Botox injections and extreme trampolining. His time outside the office is spent studying his craft at national meetings or imparting wisdom to other surgeons as a frequent lecturer on plastic surgery. In patients' rooms, his focus rests solely on the person in front of him, as he listens to their cosmetic goals and discusses their treatment options.

Chiropractors Dr. Brendan Lee and Dr. Eric Soule have been in business for about 17 years, but despite the large number of clients they’ve amassed over that time, it’s very rare that a client has to wait more than a few minutes to see them. That’s because their two offices have a no-wait policy, and staff aim to usher patients from the lobby into large, private treatment rooms as soon as they arrive.

During appointments, the doctors consult with patients about their health history, then analyze chronic pains caused by injuries, accidents, or medical conditions. Drawing upon a wealth of chiropractic knowledge, doctors will then decide on one of several treatment options and make adjustments to the skeleton or recommend massage therapy that can remove tensions and toxins from soft tissues. In addition, they also practice acupuncture to treat the nervous system, which controls the patient’s ability to walk, run, and hopscotch, among over things.

In her Today's Chicago Woman blog, Living Well and Beautifully, Tiffani Kim shares her thoughts on eating well, maintaining healthy skin, and dealing with stress. At her River North medical spa, she transforms these thoughts into action. A true renaissance woman, she’s also a fashion designer and artist. She creates a spa-like environment in which her legions of devoted readers can actively follow her online advice. Her staff of professional aestheticians and massage therapists exfoliates complexions with facials and soothes sore muscles with massages geared toward men, women, and teens. They also offer holistically minded acupuncture sessions and laser treatments that eliminate unwanted hair, tattoos, and spacecrafts illegally parked in the spa’s lot.

Since 1996, colon hydrotherapist Christina Pfeifer has been promoting wellness with a combination of colonics, acupuncture, and other body-purifying treatments. Her services extend to other areas of the body, as well—she leeches toxins from the feet with ionic baths, harmonizes internal energy with acupuncture, and believably impersonates Fabio to fortify mental well-being. Christina also offers seasonal cleanse classes that include both detox and colon-cleanse kits for 28 days of of purification.

A licensed chiropractor, Dr. Gianna Norini takes a holistic approach to wellness and customizes care for each patient from an array of healing services. The doctor specializes in several acupuncture techniques, including meridian-based treatment, pain management, and facial acupuncture, and she is experienced at facilitating physical rehabilitation of the upper, lower, and nonbionic extremities. In tandem with Whole Body Health and Wellness's superficial healing methods, nutritional consultations help clients detoxify from within to make strides toward health or becoming berries.
