At Towamencin Dentistry, Dr. Stephen Sulzbach devotes himself to a holistic dental approach that counts dental health as a component of overall wellness. To facilitate this devotion, he regularly amasses about 150 hours in continuing-education courses per year, which is 10 times the amount required of dentists in Pennsylvania. Dr. Sulzbach has completed enough hours to earn a coveted fellowship at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies and a prized baseball with bite marks from each member of the 1933 New York Yankees.

Dr. Sulzbach also backs up his expertise in up-to-date techniques with the industry’s latest dental technology. He uses laser dentistry to recontour gums and tend to cavities while minimizing discomfort. In addition, he can replace metal fillings with new ones that more closely resemble the natural color of teeth.

Not content to merely determine prescriptions, optometrists and staff members at the Brandywine Vision Associates also manage eye disease, conduct LASIK consultations, and procure high-end eyewear from brands such as Giorgio Armani, Michael Kors, Juicy Couture, and Prada. After an exam determines patients' prescriptions and algebra skills, they pick out frames furbished with lenses in ultrathin, scratch-resistant, polarized, or high-def varieties, or grab contacts. Customers can visit on weekdays, evenings, or weekends.

Dr. Lenny Roberts is a champion of perseverance. After making it to the 1993 NCAA Division III National Football Championship, he underwent his sixth knee surgery and was forced to call it quits. But "quit" isn't exactly in Dr. Roberts's vocabulary. He forged ahead to pursue a career in amateur boxing and won a silver medal in the 1999 Georgia Games before conquering the San Diego marathon in 2006 and the Philadelphia Triathlon in 2008. After earning his chiropractic doctorate from Life University, Dr. Roberts fused sports with medicine in what some might consider a dream job: chiropractic consultant for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Today, Dr. Roberts treats patients with the same care that he would afford an NBA player or a baby who has been drafted into the NBA. His chiropractic services help to improve spinal biomechanics, implementing techniques ranging from spinal decompression to extremity adjustments for joints such as shoulders, ankles, and wrists. He also works closely with his staff to help relieve pains, induce relaxation, and rejuvenate the skin with massage therapy and beauty treatments.

When he isn't mastering endurance sports, healing NBA players, or diffusing suspicions that he is Batman, Dr. Roberts volunteers his time for Habitat for Humanity and Little League baseball.

Dr. Gregory Ellis of Targeted Body Systems, LLC holds a doctorate in physiology and harbors a passion for helping people strengthen and improve their bodies. Planting his philosophical flag in the belief that bodies can heal themselves, he relies on drug-free, natural therapies to steer his patients towards an oasis of wellness. To give clients a sense of what they're in for, the good doctor carries out telephonic house calls with free phone consultations. The body, he believes, can heal itself, and through a blend of homeopathic remedies and cutting-edge technologies—including laser pens that replace the needles of traditional acupuncture—he hopes to unlock that ability like a sleepwalking warden unlocks prisoners.

Marco DiBonaventura seeks to succeed where others have failed. As a board-certified acupuncturist in Pennsylvania and a licensed doctor of Oriental medicine in Florida, he specializes in treating injuries and diseases that have not responded to traditional medicine. DiBonaventura also holds national board certification in both acupuncture and Oriental medicine from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He is certified to use traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to combat 10 of the most difficult-to-treat diseases—including cancer and Parkinson's disease—and bodily traumas such as bone fractures or ligament tears. Dr. DiBonaventura's quest to alleviate pain and illness has led him to complete fellowships at hospitals and clinics in China, Japan, and Korea.

At Complementary Healthcare, Dr. DiBonaventura addresses a variety of physical and mental conditions with acupuncture and TCM, including migraines, chronic fatigue, or the inability to effectively hokey pokey. He also helps people to lose weight by offering custom nutrition and lifestyle advice.
