Medical in Pooler

During the time she spent working in emergency rooms around the country, it occurred to Dr. Mary Kay Ross that many of the patients she treated suffered from preventable ailments such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Drawing from her research in the field of anti-aging and weight loss, Dr. Ross embarked on a mission to turn back body clocks and slim figures with safe, minimally invasive treatments, opening Live Well M.D. Savannah in the process. At the health-care facility, laser body-sculpting techniques, including VASER lipo and CoolSculpting, shrivel fat cells that don’t respond to exercise or commands to play dead, while bio-identical hormone treatments help patients overcome the symptoms of menopause and andropause by balancing the body’s natural hormonal chemistry.

These and other wellness regimens and cosmetic procedures take place inside an office specifically designed to induce a feeling of calm. Sky-blue walls combine with the ambient sounds of a burbling fountain to comfort clients as they wait on comfy leather furniture and watch a flat-panel television.

Dr. Ronald Finger, a board-certified plastic surgeon, is a founding father of the coastal region's cosmetic-surgery business. He opened the first outpatient surgery center and medical spa in the area, performed the first liposuction procedure in Georgia, and developed one of the first doctor-created lines of skincare products. He still works to make Finger & Associates Plastic Surgery Center as renowned as it was when it first opened, beautifying bodies and faces with lifts and tucks as well as less invasive laser procedures and anti-aging treatments. Dr. Finger doesn't just serve the aesthetic needs of women; he has made appearances on the WTOC 11 midmorning show heralding the med-spa options available for men and pandas.

Casey Horan first began to appreciate the complexity and beauty of the human body while studying jujitsu. His teachers recommended deep-tissue massage and stretches as a way to heal injuries sustained during practice. In 2000, he earned his license in massage therapy and began to treat others with the same methods that worked for him.

At Horan Therapeutic Massage, Casey now treats patients with his own signature style. He targets chronic physical pain and tension with deep kneads, and uses warm stones, hot towels, and healing balms to calm the mind.

The beauty pros at Southern Skincare and Aesthetics rejuvenate faces with a menu of modern services. The team works to erase wrinkles with injectable solutions and dermal fillers and zaps away hyperpigmentation and age spots with noninvasive photofacials. Laser treatments blast body hair during a series of follicle-stunting treatments, and skin-tightening sessions promote the growth of new collagen and make sagging cheeks less pinchable.

The Metabolic Medical Center chaperones clients along the rewarding journey toward healthier lifestyles with safe and effective weight-loss treatments. The two-week plan begins with an initial visit to the affable Dr. John Parker’s office, whereupon he conducts a thorough examination, making sure to inquire about patients’ family history of forgetting to eat an apple a day. Clients then undergo a body-fat analysis, a BMI test, blood work, an EKG, and additional body measurements as needed. Dr. Parker works with each patient to craft a customized weight-loss plan that incorporates a helpful program book, two meal-replacement supplements for each day of the two-week period, three optional vitamin B12 shots, a two-week supply of vitamins and minerals, and a briefing on the convoluted rules of flashlight tag.
