At Collins Dental, Drs. F.H. Collins III and Ross Reiter care for teeth with advanced technology and an emphasis on patient comfort. They use CEREC computer-assisted 3-D design software to fabricate crowns in a single visit, and offer the latest dental services, including Invisalign, Six Month Smiles, and Zoom! teeth whitening. For patients requiring sedation, the duo has made a board-certified anesthesiologist available.

The cheery reception area features cushioned wicker chairs and sofas with bright-red floral patterns. It also has a play area where children can wait for their parents and draft audit notifications to send to the tooth fairy.

Dr. Collins served for four years as a dental officer in the Navy, and organizes an annual Halloween-candy buyback event that helps send care packages to military personnel via Operation Gratitude. The compassionate team also established an Adopt-A-Patient program to provide an individual in need with a year of dental care.

Along with a practiced staff, Be Forever Trim's board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. James Farrell, works to restore youthful appearances with a diverse menu of surgical and cosmetic procedures. Botox, Juvéderm, and various laser treatments aim to erase signs of age from the face—wrinkles, sagging, and crumbs from decade-old birthday cake—whether they're brought on by genetic or environmental factors. Premedication and local or general anesthesia coax patients into a hazy state of sensationless bliss as doctors remove excess fat and skin below the chin or jaw, smooth out forehead furrows, or evict lipids, while Zerona treatments help shed inches without surgery.

Most procedures are performed at Be Forever Trim’s independently certified Winter Park surgical center, though consultations, pre- or post-op exams, or spirited games of Trivial Pursuit can be conducted at locations in Longwood and Orlando.

Nick Parker, a certified celebrity personal trainer who has appeared on FOX, Good Morning America, and a range of other media outlets, partners with a team of able coaches to propel exercisers of all levels toward slimmer, healthier bodies. Five days a week, the crew leads boot camps designed to promote weight loss and tone muscles throughout the body. Most sessions incorporate cardio, which burns calories, and strength training, which increases lean muscle mass and the possibility of making a bull run from you. The staff encourages camaraderie and a mutually supportive environment during especially tough drills, which can forge bonds that may lead to friendships. Coaches also provide inspiration by varying the workouts, cultivating a welcoming atmosphere, and praising participants as they chase down their fitness goals.
