Plum, PA Drs and Health Practioners

Using ophthalmological powers earned during prestigious studies at Case Western Reserve Medical Center and fellowships at Cornell and Tulane universities, Luna Vision and Laser's Dr. Rinku Dutt restores vision with high-tech LASIK procedures and ensures long-term ocular health with eye exams. With more than 7,000 LASIK surgeries under her belt, Dr. Dutt deftly executes bladeless procedures that help clients correct blurred vision or activate the ability to see into the infrared spectrum without glasses or contacts.

In addition to sharpening her patients' eyesight, Dr. Dutt also whittles away their facial and bodily imperfections with beauty treatments. She beautifies faces with Botox or Juvéderm applications, which safely smooth away nearby fine lines and wrinkles. With lasers calibrated to destroy hair follicles without damaging the skin, she clears away unwanted hair from virtually any area of the body during laser hair-removal sessions. Blepharoplasty treatments use a CO2 laser to remove fat and excess skin from the upper and lower eyelids.

After 50 years in and around the eyecare business, Optical Outlet owner Shelly Droz is as well versed in attractive frames as any art dealer. Shelley grew up watching first her father, then her mother operate a wholesale business for frames and lenses for doctors in Pennsylvania, leading her to eventually take the reins next to her mother. Now operating her own business, Shelley builds upon her family’s legacy by offering vision services as well as the designer frames and lenses for which her family is known.

Inside the shop, licensed optometrists check clients’ visual acuity and overall eye health before writing prescriptions for lenses. Clients can then peruse the shop’s selection of designer eyeglasses and sunglasses from top brands such as Versace, Ray-Ban, Ogi, and Dolce & Gabbana. After an average of two–four weeks, they can pick up their new prescriptions and finally realize they’ve been wearing shoeboxes instead of shoes.

At The Spine & Health Center of Pittsburgh, rehab and pain specialists work together to treat spinal conditions under the supervision of Doctor of Chiropractic William G. Cole III. At the heart of the center's treatments is the DRX9000 spinal-decompression system. A nonsurgical system, the DRX9000 is designed to relieve lower-back pain and sciatica by applying decompressing forces to strategic points along the spine. Using this and other methods, the center can deliver patients from the headaches and muscular weakness that result from spinal problems and the acute pains that result from sitting on a chair with no back, or seat, or legs.

In August 2010, Sosniak Opticians was rechristened as 3 Guys Optical Center. When the founding family passed the baton, it was entrusted to a group of opticians that could uphold the level of care established over the past six decades. True to its roots, the company provides top-notch vision services and brand-name frames by designers such as D&G, Oakley, and Ray-Ban. The business operates out of two Pittsburgh locations—one in Oakland and one downtown—welcoming walk-in customers and eagles that want to look distinguished.

Dr. David Petti knows firsthand the importance of a camera-ready smile. He saw it up close from Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito when he played a news reporter alongside the actors in the movie Hoffa. When he isn’t showing off his pearly whites on film, he’s helping others maintain healthy grins with assistance from his staff. He performs general and cosmetic dentistry on patients in need of checkups, cleanings, whitening treatments, or help finding an alternative use for clothes knit from dental floss.
