Obsessed with those sagging cheeks? How about that skin flap on your neck? As we grow older, our bodies change faster than our spirits and our minds and sometimes don’t really represent who we are.
That’s where doctors like Roger Tsai can help. You can start by downloading on Dr. Tsai’s website a free guide to cosmetic surgery. The website also offers detailed instructions about what a face lift or other surgery entails.
Dr. Tsai clearly has fans. Online reviewers make claims like “My boobs are all i could have ever dreamed of” and “Best plastic surgeon ever! Look no further.”
Dr. Tsai not only promotes health and nutrition, he also practices it, his website says. “An avid athlete, he was involved in competitive swimming and tennis as a youth, and continues to this day with devoted bodybuilding and rigorous exercise. … Dr. Tsai also has an affiliation with the performing arts; skilled at playing piano, violin and saxophone.”

When it comes to acupuncture, one of many services offered by the Back to Total Health Center, you don’t have to believe in it to benefit from it. As the Center notes on its website: “Acupuncture has been used successfully to treat animals who do not understand or ‘believe’ that it will make them better.” That includes homo sapiens.
It’s not painful either. The needles involved are as thin as a human hair. They are used at parts of the body where they can influence internal organs or relieve pain.
And if you’re still feeling pain? There’s always massage.
“Even though we deal with many different types of musculoskeletal related problems including sciatica, rotator cuff injuries, lower back pain, neck stiffness and tightness, headaches, pinched nerves etc… many of our patients also come to us to stay well adjusted,” says the Center. “We offer regular chiropractic adjustments to help the body’s biomechanics function properly so you can perform a sport or exercise.

Specs appeal? Doesn’t Dr. Fisher’s website url say it all?
“With a strong emphasis on pathology and contact lens wear, Dr. Fisher is a very well regarded expert in the field,” says that website. “Both her peers and patients praise her consultations in these areas of optometric care. In addition to the medical knowledge, Dr. Fisher bring to her practice a solid reputation as a warm and caring practitioner. She strongly believes in taking the time to speak with and understand the specific needs of her patients.
