A Homecoming >>
Dr. Brent Taylor brings excellence back home Family, friends and the communities of north Atlanta are celebrating as Dr. Brent Taylor and his family have returned home to where they grew up and are starting a first-class dermatology, Mohs surgery and vein care practice. Brent grew up in Roswell and attended Marist School where he was valedictorian. His wife Ashley was born and raised in Alpharetta and graduated from Milton High School. Together the Taylors are raising two rambunctious boys, Beckett 3, and Gavin 1. After completing twelve years of higher education, Dr. Taylor and his family explored life in Florida. He practiced as the Mohs surgeon at University of Florida in Gainesville and worked in the busiest private practice in Jacksonville, Florida. The desire to be with family and friends drew Dr. Taylor and his family home to north Atlanta. They

are opening a practice in Alpharetta to serve the community that has for so long supported them. Dr. Taylor’s resume is impressive to say the least. He graduated from Harvard College in 3 years and attended Vanderbilt School of Medicine on a full, merit-based scholarship. He received his first choices for post-graduate training and was able to work with renowned Mohs surgeons during both his residency at the Medical University of South Carolina and during his ACGME accredited fellowship in procedural dermatology at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California.

maximize a patient’s chance of cure. Melanoma patients are treated and, in most cases, repaired within a single day. Generally, no outside pathology is needed. Training by celebrated cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Leland Housman and cosmetic and laser dermatologist Dr. Vic Ross, both of La Jolla, California, has enabled Dr. Taylor to offer truly state-of-the-art vein care for medically significant vein disease and cosmetic spider veins alike. Depending on an individual patient’s findings, a combination of endovenous laser ablation, foam or liquid sclerotherapy, phlebectomy, and light-based devices help restore patients’ veins to as good as new. Dr. Taylor’s practice, Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta, opens January 30th 2017 in the Gates at North Point development, on the corner of North Point Parkway and Webb
Bridge Road. He offers comprehensive dermatology services from skin exams to Mohs surgery, advanced minimally invasive vein treatment procedures and cosmetic services including Botox and fillers.

Invisalign™ is the incredible, invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces! By: Dr. Brittany Corbett, Center for Advanced Dentistry We all hated them when we were kids – those horrible bands of metal we had to wear on our teeth. Oh, and some of us had to suffer the indignity of something known as “headgear.” And if that wasn’t enough, this “treatment” (more like torture) went on for years. But all that has changed with the advent of metal-free orthodontics and, especially, a procedure known as Invisalign. With the Invisalign process, most patients can now achieve straight, properly aligned teeth without any of the ugly metal bands and brackets. And
instead of the usual years, it can take as little as a few months. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth. Patients report that the aligners are nearly invisible, so it’s very hard for others to tell that you are undergoing treatment. The course of treatment involves changing aligners approximately every two weeks, moving your teeth into a straighter position step by step, until you have a more beautiful smile. Unlike braces, these clear aligners can be removed while you eat, brush and floss your teeth as usual. And the best part is that no one will know that you’re straightening your
teeth because – it’s invisible! Call 770-623-8750 complimentary consultation to see if Invisalign is right for you!
Cancer prevention February is National Cancer Prevention Month, which is a month which we should all take very seriously. It has been estimated that good nutrition would prevent up to 40% of all cancers. This would amount to 1 million fewer Americans in 2017 alone who would not have cancer. Let that sink in a moment! So what is good nutrition when it comes to cancer prevention? Eating a wide variety of organic vegetables is very important, as they provide powerful anti-oxidants. Fruit in moderation is beneficial as well. We do not want to eat too much fruit, as the natural sugar content can spike blood sugar levels.
Diabetics have significantly higher cancer risk than non-diabetics. I also encourage 1-2 servings of animal protein daily. This can take the form of grass-fed beef, organic free range chicken, grass-fed bison, or free range eggs. Wild caught fish can be eaten 1-2 times per week, but we should be careful not to overdo it because of concerns over mercury and nuclear pollution in fish today. Healthy fats from nuts and seeds, as well as some dairy, is also permissible. Highly processed foods should be avoided, or at least minimized. Augment these nutrition strategies with daily exercise and stress reduc-
tion practices, and cancer risk declines significantly. Dr. Stegall can be reached at (770) 551-2730.
Heartburn meds may mean kidney problems
10700 Medlock Bridge Road Suite 207 • Johns Creek, GA 30097 (770) 551-2730 www. advanced-med.com
(NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about has kidney problems, there may be a surprising cause. A study by Johns Hopkins and published in The Journal of the American Medical Association linked heartburn medications (proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs) to increased kidney complications. This study found the risk rose 20 to 50 percent in people who’d taken Nexium, Prilosec or Prevacid. A separate study found one in four chronic kidney disease patients had taken one of those drugs. The complications can include chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injuries, interstitial nephritis, renal failure and the need for dialysis or kidney transplant.
What You Can Do First, see your doctor. Next, if you suffered kidney complications, emotional and physical stress, and financial burdens, you may want to see a lawyer, as well. Lawsuits against AstraZeneca (maker of Nexium and Prilosec) and Takeda (maker of Prevacid) allege that they knew of the increased risks yet failed to properly warn patients and doctors. If you’ve been affected by this, you may be entitled to money from an individual lawsuit, a settlement or a class action suit. There is, however, a limited time in which to pursue a legal case. Learn More For a free case evaluation from the attorneys at Keller and Keller, visit www.2keller.com/library/prilosec-pre-

The World Health Organizations has classified ultraviolet radiation as a carcinogen, which means it is known to produce cancer in humans. “In the last few decades, the popularity of tanning –both indoor and outdoor –as well as the prevalence of outdoor sports such as tennis and golf, have been paralleled by a steep increase in skin cancer,” said May River Johns Creek dermatologist Paola Bonaccorsi M.D., Ph.D. Melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are different types of skin cancers that have all been linked to chronic sun exposure and sun burns. “Every day, I hear from my patients, ‘But I wear sun screen,’ or ‘I never go outside,’ only to find out that they use a sun screen only when they go to the beach, or they play golf three to four times a week” Dr.Bonaccorsi said. There are some very common misconceptions about the right way to practice sun protection, explained Dr. Bonaccorsi. “First of all, there is no sun screen that will protect us for eight hours of sun exposure. Sun screen needs to
be on the skin for at least 20 minutes before exposure, and needs to be reapplied every one-and-a-half to two hours, or every time we get in the water. “Sun screen is not a 100 percent protection,” continued Dr. Bonaccorsi, “but, rather, allows us a longer period in the sun before we burn. Also, there are different types of sun screen –chemical or physical –and I definitely recommend the physical blockers that reflect the UV away from us.” In addition to large brim hats and sunglasses, Dr. Bonaccorsi expressed excitement about innovations in sun protective clothing. “The new sun protective clothing is great! They stay on, and they can reach a SPF of 50,” she said. Dr. Bonaccorsi recommends that people stay indoors, when possible, during the central hours of the day, as well as out of direct sunlight. “Our goal should be to never burn, and avoid tan lines,” she said. “The amount of exposure that our skin can tolerate is different based on the color of our eyes, hair and skin and, as well as our ability to tan, but everyone is vulnerable to the damage of UV radiation and skin cancer, including individuals who have dark skin."
Straight Teeth Without Braces? Is This Possible?
It’s true! With Invisalign™, it is possible to have straight – $1,000 OFF – teeth in as little as 5-9 months! No braces, wires, or headgear!

Gaining control over your fitness and your life For many people, aging equals lower metabolism, weight gain and less energy for activities you enjoy. This is directly related to loss of lean muscle. While you can’t avoid getting older, there are some steps you can take to stop the process of muscle loss and start rebuilding healthy, lean muscle. It doesn’t matter how old you are or whether you haven’t exercised in years. You can still regain lean muscle that improves your shape and increases your metabolism. Our downfall is inactivity. Too much sitting is the new smoking. Our bodies were meant to be active, stay active and be strong. When we stop doing meaningful exercise, we lose ground. Al Taylor at age 73 says, “Since my retirement in 1998, I had let myself go. I gained weight and developed arthritis in my hips and knees. I realized that if I didn’t make some significant life style changes my quality of life would be miserable.” “SuperSlow Zone provided me exactly what I was looking for. My objective was to increase core strength, improve balance, and strengthen my skeletal muscle to take stress off my knee and hip joints. As a surprise bonus, every-
one at SuperSlow Zone is extremely well versed in metabolism control and nutrition.” “As a result I’ve taken off more than 35 lbs., my body fat is down 7%, visceral fat down 5% and muscle density up 3.5%. In addition my doctor has taken me off of my blood pressure medication and my blood sugar is now down to normal. Life is good.” What is meaningful exercise? A critical component of stimulating the improvements we seek from exercise is the achievement of momentary muscular failure in each exercise performed. With steady-state activities, like walking on a treadmill or biking, there is no momentary muscular failure involved. Unless activity is demanding, it is practically worthless from an exercise perspective. However, if an activity is sufficiently demanding to take the targeted muscles to momentary failure, then it qualifies as meaningful exercise. Muscle failure should be viewed as a means of signaling the body that it needs to get stronger in order to meet the demands being placed upon it. What is the SuperSlow Zone solution?
The SuperSlow Zone protocol is the original and genuine slow-motion, personal strength training workout. The exercise protocol has been proven successful in both building muscle and increasing resting metabolism, thus allowing the body to burn more calories at rest. The exercise protocol was developed as part of a $3.2 million osteopo-
rosis research study at the University Of Florida, School of Medicine. SuperSlow Zone is an ideal workout that busy professionals and parents can fit into busy schedules. SuperSlow Zone provides a safe and effective workout in a short amount of time so that you can get in, get out, and get on with your busy life!
SuperSlow Zone is helping adults get fit for life!

Newly engaged! New smile! By: Dr. Jeffrey Jordan Investing in a healthy, beautiful smile may be one of the smartest moves brides and grooms can make as they plan their big day! Advances in orthodontic treatment can offer a beautiful smile faster, and more affordably, than ever before. Long after the flowers have faded and the reception lights are dimmed, a gorgeous smile is a gift that stays with you happily ever after. Clear aligners and tooth colored braces made with ceramic brackets are practically invisible, and these are popular options for adults. Even the orthodontic wires can be tooth colored so people don’t even notice that you are in treatment. The time between appointments is now longer than it used to be, usually six weeks, due to improved treatment mechanics. That is good news for working people. More good news is how quickly patients begin to see an improvement in their smile. One in four patients is now an adult! The American Association of
Orthodontists attributes the rise in adult orthodontics to the improved selfesteem and self-confidence that comes with orthodontic treatment. Patients tell us their social lives improve after treatment, and we can see the changes that happen as people just smile more often and with more self-confidence. Affordability of treatment is a frequent question, and there is good news here too. Orthodontists are one of the few healthcare professionals that offer payment plans, making monthly payments quite manageable over the treatment time. Many employers are including adult orthodontic coverage in their dental plans in addition to Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) that allow employees to set aside pre-tax dollars that can cover treatment. At the end of the day, this is a lifetime investment in your health and appearance. Your wedding day is a perfect opportunity to have the ‘picture perfect’ smile! Your wedding day is also probably the most photographed day of your life. Why not make those photos sparkle forever with a healthy, beautiful smile?

Dr. David Remaley and Roswell Dental Care proudly supports the Georgia Dental Association’s “Because I Saw My Dentist” campaign. The “Because I Saw My Dentist” campaign was created to help raise the quality of oral health among all Georgians and encourage them to seek a dental home. A dental home is having a dentist who you visit often, who knows you, your family and your health history. Oral health is essential to your general health and wellbeing. Seeing your dentist on a regular basis can help improve the quality of your life. Your dentist is trained to diagnose life threatening diseases such as oral cancer and chronic diseases such as diabetes. The most common health threats that dentists find include cancer, endocrine and cardiovascular diseases. “Because I Saw My Dentist” showcases powerful stories of real people from all corners of the state whose lives have been changed because they regularly see their GDA-member dentist. We know that dentists have the expertise
and experience to spot and prevent disease, build confidence, and help people live richer, fuller lives. This campaign shares that message in ways that are both expected and unexpected. The “Because I Saw My Dentist” website has real life stories and videos from patients who found they had serious problems and were able to receive treatment because their dentist found an area of concern during their regular dental visit. Many times a patient does not experience any underlying discomfort, bleeding or other symptoms indicating there is a problem. But because they see their dentist regularly every 6 months, the health issue can be discovered and treated early preventing the problem, such as cancer, from spreading throughout the body. Dr. Remaley and Roswell Dental Care can help you keep that healthy smile for a lifetime. Dr Remaley has been treating patients like family for over 30 years in Roswell and North Atlanta. We always welcome new patients. Give our office a call at (470) 375-9244 for a COMPLIMENTARY 2nd opinion or to schedule a regular dental checkup.
Get ahead of allergies (NAPSI)—Don’t wait for allergy season to arrive to do something to avoid the health problems that allergies can cause. There are several easy steps you can take to beat the sneezing before it starts. Here are some prevention tips: • Cut back on carpeting; instead, consider using tile and hardwood floors. • Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter. • Roll up your window shades and clean your drapes. • Have your HVAC system professionally cleaned. Dirty ducts can harbor pollen and other pollutants. Contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated several times a day. The buildup in the ductwork creates continuous exposure that only cleaning can address. A complete cleaning should include replacing the filter and cleaning the ductwork, from where the air enters the return duct, through the air handler (blower, coil, and head exchanger), to the exit, where the air is released to condition the home. This will remove built-up particulates and contaminants such as pollen, improving indoor air quality and maximizing system effi-
ciency. Members of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) have signed the NADCA Code of Ethics and invested time and resources into industry training and education. NADCA requires that all members have at least one certified Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) on staff, and they must clean and restore your heating and cooling system in accordance with NADCA standards and guidelines. Get facts and tips at BreathingClean.com. The Find A Professional directory can help you locate a certified individual in your area.

Dealing with dry eyes? More than 25 million Americans suffer from dry eye, a chronic, progressive disease that can cause tired, uncomfortable eyes, and blurred or fluctuating vision. In moderate to severe cases, it affects quality of life by making it too difficult to keep the eyes open long enough to read, drive, watch a movie, or look at a computer. Dr. Stuart Newman, a board certified ophthalmologist at Thomas Eye Group in Roswell, specializes in dry eye treatment and offers new treatment options that help provide relief to dry eye sufferers. “Having dealt with dry eye myself, I understand my patients’ struggles and enjoy helping them find the perfect solution for their dry eye issue,” says Dr. Newman. Treatment for dry eye has to be indi-
vidualized depending on type of dry eye and severity. One of the new in-office treatment options that Dr. Newman offers for blepharitis is the BlephEx™ procedure. BlephEx eliminates the scurf, bacterial debris, and biofilm that builds up along the lid margin and improves the overall health of the eyelid. Treatments are typically repeated every
4-6 months depending on the severity of the disease. Patients can then begin to produce more of their own tears and reduce or eliminate the chronic and irritating symptoms associated with blepharitis and its subsequent dry eye disease. If you suffer from dry eye disease or have any other eye care needs, please
contact Thomas Eye Group at 770-4755515 to schedule an appointment. The Roswell office of Thomas Eye Group is located across from North Fulton Hospital at 11690 Alpharetta Highway. The doctors include Larry Heit, M.D.; Stuart Newman, M.D.; Stephen Lipsky, M.D.; David Sackel, M.D.; and Nhora Abril, O.D.
