Tamarac, FL Drs and Health Practioners

Drs. Barry Concool and Marc Bosem helm the Correctvision Laser Institute and have performed more than 40,000 LASIK procedures combined. And though he is eager to help their patients cast off their glasses, contacts, and opera lorgnettes with LASIK, that's not all they do.

Teaming up with Dr. Michelle Gonzalez—the institute's Spanish-speaking clinical director and optometrist—they offer a wide range of corrective-vision procedures, such as cataract surgery and conductive keratoplasty, which uses radio frequency instead of lasers to improve farsightedness. They even smooth over wrinkles with Botox, dermal fillers, and spackling paste.

Licensed massage therapist David Niyazov helms SpaCibo, where he enlists 14 years of massage experience and expertise in eight modalities to soothe aching muscles and assuage stress. Niyazov begins each one-on-one session with an in-depth look at the client's health and injury history, allowing him to map out a proper treatment plan and attack the areas of concern with the proper massage modality.

After prepping the body with long and flowing strokes, the therapist may unbundle musculature knots with deep-tissue kneads or assuage past or current injuries with a localized sports massage. Reflexology massage applies direct pressure to the hands and feet to conjure total-body relaxation, and prenatal massage comforts expectant mothers with soothing strokes and spoonfuls of peanut butter.

Dr. Roy Goodman, a member of the American Chiropractic Association with more than 15 years of private-practice experience, helms a team of professionals. Along with spine-aligning chiropractic services, the clinic offers physical therapy for clients of all ages who suffer from a variety of conditions and injuries. For relief after rigorous exercise routines or competitive Twister matches, firm strokes from a licensed massage therapist—who is fluent in Swedish, neuromuscular, medical, and Thai modalities—work to relax muscles and increase circulation.

Dr. Lenny Bloch welcomes patients to Boca Acupuncture with a client-centered, holistic approach to medicine that asserts that symptoms arise from larger patterns and require compassionate, whole-body attention. After studying his patients' medical charts, he culls from the myriad healing treatments that fall beneath the umbrella of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)—including acupuncture, massage, and herbal medicine—to help the body to find balance and relief from ailments such as women's reproductive issues, pain, and cigarette addiction. Dr. Bloch requests that new clients bring medical records or an intricately labeled Operation board game to give him a clear picture of the history and status of their health problems.

Dr. Bloch became a believer in acupuncture and TCM after suffering a debilitating spinal-cord injury that left him paralyzed from his rib cage down on his right side and complete numb from his rib cage down on his left side. For years, he dealt with traditional western-medicine doctors telling him that he would not regain feeling on his left side, but after turning to Chinese medicine, he was able to once again feel hot, cold, sharp, and dull sensations. He's quick to admit that he still has some sensory issues, but he believes that Chinese medicine pushed him beyond the limits of western medicine, and he wants everyone who walks into his office to have similar results.
