For more than two decades, Galelli Health Wellness Center's certified acupuncturist has eased the pains and thwarted the illnesses of clients with little more than a set of slim needles and an intimate understanding of the body’s inner workings. Instead of treating the symptoms of one's complaints, a blend of herbal prescriptions and acupuncture address root causes of physical problems, such as an energy imbalance or cursed pair of knee socks. As the bad humors behind maladies, from sinusitis to tennis elbow, depart the body, clients stay calm reclined in a treatment chair set in the center’s communal treatment room.

At Body Balance of Winter Park, sound waves do more than translate words to speech and musical notes to melody. Ultrasonic waves transform the body into a slimmer, firmer figure that can decode AM radio transmissions. Paired with nutrition counseling, the contouring treatment can drain away fat and keep it away. The center's technicians perform the noninvasive treatment atop a bed in a carpeted, private room bedecked with paintings.

At Any Lab Test Now, a medical-testing facility replete with a CLIA-certified laboratory, patients typically wait for no more than 15 minutes to see a staffer and receive a blood, DNA, STD, or drug test. The tests don't require prescriptions or doctors' approvals, and patients usually receive the confidential results within 48 hours. They can decide how they’d like to receive the results—whether by pickup, email, snail mail, or fax from the future.

Since attaining a fellowship in implantology, Michael Koyfman, DMD, has been a player in the evolution of restoration dentistry. He reinforces every patient's smile with hundreds of hours of continuing education and clinical research through the Dental Practice-Based Research Network. Dr. Koyfman offers patients several variations on traditional implants and wind-up dentures: the CEREC procedure eschews tooth impressions for fast, 3-D imaging, and the all-on-four procedure accomplishes full-arch restorations with four implants instead of the customary eight. Dr. Koyfman also pushes the boundaries of dental techniques by using a CT scan, which allows him to make more accurate measurements and provide better treatments for his clients.

Dr. Koyfman's practice is versatile. Looking beyond crowns and abutments, he and his staff oversee orthodontic services, such as Invisalign aligners, as well as cosmetic services, such as Zoom teeth whitening.

Dr. Shilpa Desai, a University of Florida graduate, calls upon years of experience to keep teeth clean, healthy, and gleaming. Services range from routine check-ups to Zoom teeth whitening. Board-certified implant dentist Thomas G. Ford is on-hand to restore grins with crowns and bridges. Desai Dental welcomes patients of all ages, including children and novelty wind-up teeth.

Since Dr. Stanley Pearle opened the doors to the first Pearle Vision in 1961, the franchise has expanded to more than 800 stores nationwide. In these stores, optometrists assess the ocular health of patients before onsite opticians help them navigate the assortment of frames from brands such as Versace, Ray-Ban, and DKNY. If they're not in the store, clients can utilize the Try-On tool, uploading a photo to see what they or their dog looks like in different types of glasses. Pearle Vision also helps focus the world with contacts from Acuvue and Biofinity.
