A Healing Journey
David Whiteman, MD, FRCS(c) Southern Plastic Surgery Body Contouring
Dr. David A. Whiteman recalls a patient, Denise, who first came to Southern Plastic Surgery (SPS) after successfully battling breast cancer. “She had undergone a double mastectomy and was ready to take on reconstruction to restore her breasts,” he says. “As a mother of three adult children and with a zest for life, Denise knew that she had much for which to be thankful. With a passion for triathlons, Denise led an active lifestyle and wanted to Denise with her son Kenney improve her overall health well beyond her procedure. Denise’s SPS experience didn’t end after breast reconstruction, but continued as she chose to refine her thighs with liposuction, rejuvenate her face with laser treatments and facials, and partner with our in-house NESTA Weight Management Specialist during her recovery. Today, Denise is feeling great and continues to focus on healthy eating and regular exercise—enjoying life and refusing to take anything for granted.” Details: southernplasticsurgery.com

Renewed Hope “I often hear from patients who are grateful to find relief from their pain,” says chiropractor Dr. Tara Frix. “Recently, I heard from Howard Kristler, a patient who had suffered from the lingering effects of a whiplash injury he sustained in a car accident. He told me he felt so fortunate to have come across Total HealthCare, explaining,‘Everyone in the practice is a compassionate, caring and knowledgeable professional; they are there to help. The staff takes pride in watching me get better.’ He told me he was impressed that we listened to him and reacted to his concerns. He was no longer frustrated and was feeling better than he had since the accident—actually, better than he had ever expected to feel again. He trusted our process and his attitude is so positive. Providing that level of care and helping to change a patient’s life Tara Frix, DC is truly rewarding work.” Total HealthCare
