Sure To Take a Closer Look

Be

T

by Amy Sharp

rue beauty is not just about how things look on the outside, it is what’s on the inside that counts.

When it comes to your home, nobody knows that better than Certified Master Inspector John Onofrey and his team at Top 2 Bottom Inspections.

That home you are about to buy may have been love at first sight, but it’s in your best interest to have the Top 2 Bottom team take a closer look. Now in their twelfth year of business, John Onofrey, owner and decorated U.S. Marine Veteran, is proud to work with U.S. Navy Veteran, Chuck Pogue and U.S. Coast Guard Veteran, Chris Staudt.

John says, “As Professional Real Estate Inspectors and Veterans, Chris, Chuck and I bring that same sense of duty, honor and attention to detail to every home that we inspect.”

An inspector can uncover common problems with the potential to be big problems in your current home or home you are purchasing. Clogged AC lines cause pans to overflow which leads to water damage.

Improper gas exhaust leads to carbon monoxide poisoning. Clogged or stopped gutters cause wood rot. And a whole host of issues lead to pests! John says, “Soil too high in flower beds is an open invite to termites.

Weep holes are certainly necessary, but when they’re too big the rodents get in your walls. Same with AC lines going in, rats grab on to the soft insulation of the lines

and climb right into the attic. Trees close to the roof also provide easy access for roof rats and ants.”

Is your home less than 1 year old? “New builds or warranty build inspections often reveal items the builder has missed,” John explains. “One of the strangest was a young lady who had lived in a new home for nearly a year when we found there was no insulation in the attic. She thought her AC was running too much...but didn’t know why.

Due to our observation, the builder had an insulation crew there within an hour and the homeowner was given one year of electric bills paid by the builder. It’s part of the business...builders can miss things. But if we catch them and get them fixed under warranty, it will save you money over the years you own the home.”

With a great reputation for inspecting houses, many of John’s customers requested he do their pest control too. “In 2007 I started BUGCO Pest Control, and asked my friend Chris Millward to help head it up,” says John. “As local guys, we know what kind of pests to expect and how to deal with them. We offer inspections and treatment for termites, mosquito misting systems with all the rain we have had and other pests and rodent control and exclusion.”

Whether you are buying, selling or building your dream home, Top 2 Bottom Inspections can help you take a closer look that could help you avoid surprises and save money.

Dealer of the Year—

Fifth Year in a Row!

F

ive and half years ago, Don Kerstetter and his team took over the the dealership that stands at the corner of 59 and 90A. Don says, “My goal was to change the way you buy cars. We are a dealership that prides ourself on transparency, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. We’re not here to sell you just one car today…we want to be your dealership for the years to come!”

And the dream is working. For the fifth year in a row— that’s every year they’ve been in existence—Classic Chevy Sugar Land has been awarded the General Motors-Chevrolet “Dealer of the Year” award! Don says, “It’s an honor only given to the top one percent of Chevrolet dealers in the nation for excellence in customer service. GM Dealer of the Year is the highest honor GM bestows. This award means so much for the team because to win...a dealer must not only be a top performer in sales and customer satisfaction...but also show uncompromising dedication to their customers.

That customer-centered philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. The strong team of amazing people we’ve assembled at Classic Chevy earned this award. They were treated to a lunch cel-

ebration at the awards ceremony given by Chevrolet. I’d like to thank each and every one of them for what they do. We couldn’t do it without them. I am proud to be a member of such an awesome team!” #3 in the nation for Chevy Tahoe sales and #4 in the nation for Chevy Suburban sales, the car buying experience at Classic Chevy is a pleasant one. Don did away with closed-off back rooms and the “let me check with my manager” strategy of sales. Every member of the sales team is authorized to help you from start to finish. And this community is just as important as the customers. The recent Chili Cookoff raised more than $50,000 for the Sugar Land Police Officer’s Association.

And Don just keeps making the team and commitment stronger. Mark Kolon, General Sales Manager says, “For the first thirty minutes of every weekly meeting for the last five years, Don speaks to us about customer service. We have the same high standards in every aspect of our business––new, pre-owned, on-site or internet sales, service, body shop, and financing. We pledge to keep our focus on you!”

Congratulations (again!) to the Classic Chevy team!

The Keys to Unlocking Vascular Health

by Olivia Cane

S

ummertime in Sugar Land is “hot soup” weather thanks to frequent summer showers. In the past, Southern belles wore lightweight fabrics to get through the humid days. Today’s women prefer to simply wear shorts, a great alternative with one exception. Visible varicose veins.

These veins lie under the skin and have become widened, twisted, and bulging. No one who has them feels great about the change of attire the summer brings with shorts and bathing suits, which reveal the spider web of veins.

Because they are ugly and achy for some, varicose veins are the primary reason parents sit out of all their kid’s fun summer activities.

However, varicose veins are more than a cosmetic issue. “Varicose veins are slightly, sure,” says local vascular surgeon Ulises Baltazar, MD, RVT, FACS, “but of even more concern is the person’s health. Varicose veins can increase your chance of potentially lethal blood clots, which is why it’s essential that any varicose vein sufferer see a specialist.”

“Varicose veins are actually a vascular health problem,” continues Dr. Baltazar.

“When the valves in your veins are unhealthy, blood can then flow backward and pool inside the vein and it swells…leading to venous diseases like spider veins, varicose veins and venous stasis ulcers. What may seem

like a cosmetic issue can become painful and even potentially dangerous if not treated by someone who understands the problem. And good news...if we can verify that the vein isn’t working properly, the treatment is generally covered by insurance.”

The study and treatment of varicose veins has long been a focus for Dr. Baltazar, who did his Vascular Surgery Residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. While at Baylor, he served as Administrative Chief Resident and was awarded the Outstanding Resident in Vascular Surgery Award. He helped to pioneer endovascular surgery at East Tennessee University, where he also did his General Residency. Dr. Baltazar has had vast experience in diagnosing and treating diseases of the arteries and veins especially in the cutting-edge medical technologies that use guide wires, lasers, and ultrasound.

When you love what you do, it’s easy to deliver the absolute highest level of care to your patients. Dr. Baltazar has been voted by hospital staff at Methodist Sugar Land Hospital as “Most Supporting Physician,” and he has also won their “Patient’s Choice” award.

Visit Dr. Baltazar and take care of your varicose veins once and for all… then go out and enjoy your summer with your family. Your vascular health could not be in better hands.

(and to wearing your shorts with confidence!)

“I Love the Way I Look Now!”

ostpartum breasts. For many women, the perkiness of youth deflates with the birth of children. But you can get it back! With the help of Dr. Eric Humble MD at Sugar Land Face & Body Plastic Surgery, Charissa Rudy of Angleton was able to do just that after the birth of her beautiful little princess! “I knew exactly what I wanted, and choosing the right doctor was important to me,” says Charissa, “I saw a few other doctors in Houston first...then I went to Dr. Humble’s office. He was amazing! He spent a lot of time with me and answered all of my questions...I immediately scheduled my next appointment with him.”

“When I went in for my surgery,” continues Charissa, “Dr. Humble was super efficient...he was on time and I was in and out quickly. Truly a caring doctor, he gave me his cell phone number so I could call him personally if I needed anything or had any problems after the surgery. And for my post-op appointment, he took time out of his busy weekend to see me on a Saturday morning. Breast augmentation and desired end results are a very personal decision, and Dr. Humble is extremely helpful and professional in helping make those decisions...he is very honest and will tell you what he really thinks! I love the way I look now!”

“Breast augmentation is designed to enlarge your breasts,” says Dr. Humble, “improving breast shape and increasing volume. This can help you look and feel better in your clothes, improve your body image, improve your cleavage, and improve your breast symmetry...and if you are at peace with your physical appearance, you will live a more happy life. Like Charissa, many women choose breast augmentation after having children to eliminate postpartum deflation. Women should enjoy life with their children, and my reward begins with my goal of bringing out my patients’ love of life!”

When you schedule a consultation with Dr. Humble, he will discuss with you your surgical options—including incisions, types of implants available, and the pros and cons of each choice.

Recognizing that no two people are created the same, he then creates a surgical plan with you that is unique to your individual situation...creating a look you will love. “I have recommended Dr. Humble to three of my closest friends,” says Charissa,“and all three are extremely happy with their results. He is just phenomenal!”

Want to love the way you look? Call Sugar Land Face and Body Plastic Surgery to schedule your free consultation with Dr. Humble today!

A Skilled Family Dentist and a Friend!

by Amy Sharp

ho do you trust with your family’s teeth? Did you know that Dr. Thomas Lomonte, D.D.S. has been in his same location on Murphy Road since 1982? So long, that he’s now treating second and even third generation patients. Emily Egan’s family is one of those Dr. Lomonte multi-generational families!

“Dr. Lomonte was my brother’s dentist,” says Emily, “and he became my family’s dentist when we moved here more than 10 years ago. What I love is that he is a skilled dentist that can meet all of my family’s needs. For me personally, I was missing four teeth and the enamel on my five front teeth was wearing away. Dr. Lomonte was able to restore my smile with porcelain crowns on the front teeth, and a dental implant and crowns across the missing teeth. I was very surprised at how easy the process was and with no pain! Much better than getting a bridge or dentures! Definitely our family dentist, Dr. Lomonte straightened my daughter’s smile with Invisalign...and my husband is up next...he needs some restoration work done on his bottom teeth.”

“When Dr. Lomonte says, ‘Come in as a patient, leave as a friend,’ he’s not joking!” continues Emily.

“Sometimes we have trouble getting the dental work done because we talk so much! He’s like part of our family. Recently my husband took my mother in for her routine appointment. When my daughter drove by and saw their car, she dropped in to say hi. Shortly my son showed up for an appointment coincidentally on the same day. We had to laugh, because most of our family ended up at our dentist on the same day...and it was a great time! You can’t beat Dr. Lomonte...he’s a great dentist and a great friend!”

Come in as a patient and leave as a friend!

“We had to laugh, because most of our family ended up at our dentist on the same day...and it was a great time!”

Dr. Lomonte says, “I love that over the years I’ve been able to treat second and even third generation patients and their smiles. They’re all family to me, and I always have room for more. Stop by anytime and let’s talk!”

Is a

Heading Your Way?

by Luke Worth

T

he Houston area has sure been through some sloshy conditions lately...setting floodwater records that the state is not likely to see again for quite a while. In the heroic style that is typical of most Texans, we witnessed daring water rescues, barbecue parties on rooftops, heartwarming stories of recovered pets, and of course neighbors doing damage control for other neighbors. Texas has proven once again that it can weather a crisis.

But what about preventable flood conditions that no homeowner wants to see...like a busted hot water heater?

With so many of our hot water heaters in the attic...when a hot water heater bursts or leaks, the ensuing flood can be every bit as damaging as the damage we saw a few weeks ago. And since our area water is hard-grain, our water is corrosive...and a corroded hot water heater is one that’s going to rust right through...flooding your

house. “Getting your water heater checked every year by a trained and certified professional is the best preventative medicine you can take,” says Alan Burkhalter, master plumber at Alan’s Plumbing. “In cases such as these, no surprises are a good thing.

Many times we can save you a bundle down the line...especially if there’s a problem we are able to catch early on.”

Alan Burkhalter, his brother Chris Burkhalter, his wife Jennifer (the cheerful voice you hear on the phone), and their sons Luke, Beau and Jake have dedicated their lives to making sure your house and your family are protected. “In addition to getting your water heater inspected or replaced if needed...there are other small things you as the homeowner can do to prevent future flooding problems,” says Alan. “Turn off the power or gas to the water heater if you’re leaving on a trip...even if it’s just for a few days.

No one wants to return to a flooded house. Also consider switching to a tankless water heater that provides hot water on demand. When the water is not stored, the risk of it flooding your house is greatly reduced.”

“A smart consumer is an informed one,” continues Alan. “That’s why we take the time to explain everything to our customers. So much of our business is repeat business or word-ofmouth. Every consumer’s trust award we’ve won is sacred to us, and it inspires us to keep going. Giving you the best service is not only our family business, but a point of honor. As your neighbors, we stand behind our commitment to great work at great prices.”

Keep the preventable flood waters away from your home...give Alan’s plumbing a call today!

The Drive For Perfection

TEXASTESTED It’s Hard To Stop A Trane

TEXAS TOUGH T

he wonderful thing about established businesses and established bloodlines is that you know exactly what to expect. A precedent has been set, be it one of impeccable service–or in the case of Brian Jackson’s enthusiasm for longhorn cattle– impeccable service combined with a fierce determination to carry on the great Texas tradition of cattle and cowboy.

The Texas longhorns date lineage all the way back to Christopher Columbus. Among the first cattle in the New World and driven into Texas by the Spanish in the 1600s, the longhorns became mostly feral and marvelously drought resistant. And as any Texan will tell you...you need both of these qualities to survive the notoriously brutal summers. Or maybe you just need an air conditioning specialist like Brian Jackson of Jackson Air and Heat!

For thirty-three years, Brian’s father, Johnny, Brian, and now Brian’s sons have been carrying on the tradition of

dedicated service in the Fort Bend County area. Both EPA and NATE certified, they are repeat winners of the “Award of Excellence” from the Better Business Bureau, endorsed by SugarLandNetwork. com, and are the proud recipients of the Angie’s List Super Service Award.

You don’t hit these milestones by giving inferior service. Brian and his crews are at it from early in the morning to sometimes late at night, always with a smile on their face...a sure sign that that they love what they do and love giving back to the community they’ve belonged to for so many years.

Brian says, “One of the best ways to beat back sizzling Texas summer heat is with a variable speed Trane XV20i air conditioner with TruComfort™ Technology.” What makes a Trane system better than the average air conditioner? “It’s designed for our kinds of conditions,” Brian explains. “Trane units are whisper quiet, remove humidity,

and consume far less electricity than the energy guzzlers of years past. I appreciate the quality of workmanship as both a professional and as a consumer...I have one in my own home. And my family loves that no matter where we are, we can control the temperature in our home from our smartphone.” If you decide to upgrade to a Trane XV20i, you will not only get the best air conditioner on the market, you will also get a worry free 10-year parts and labor warranty, Trane instant rebates or 0% financing, and CenterPoint instant rebates.

In the tradition of first-rate Texas service, Brian Jackson and his family would like to thank you, Fort Bend. Your comfort is their business!

At St. Michael’s, we are committed to top-notch, nurturing care for patients of all ages!” St. Michael’s is one of the few licensed, free-standing ER facilities with Joint Commission Accreditation, ACR certified radiology suites, and CLIA certified labs.

A Pool Company You Can Trust

W

by Amy Sharp

hen a Richmond area resident wanted to replace his sandstone pool coping with travertine, he checked out the credentials of nearby local pool company Bratton Pools.

“Their office was near our home,” says the homeowner, “so I looked them up on the BBB and Yelp. They checked out great and I called them up to come out to my house.”

Mike Bratton co-owns Bratton pools with his wife Kryshon. Mike says, “We went out to our potential client’s house and took pictures and measurements of their pool. We brought out travertine samples so they could pick exactly what we would be installing.

And once the material was picked, we were able to put together an estimate.”

“I couldn’t believe the estimate!” says the homeowner. “A friend had a very similar situation and paid nearly twice what Bratton Pools quoted me. We signed on to do the work and I couldn’t be happier. We only had one glitch...the weather. But Mike and his crews prevailed in spite of all the rain. I know good work when I see it, and their work is excellent. The pool business certainly has its share of rip-off companies, but you can just tell Bratton is a top quality company that stands by their work. I would absolutely rec-

ommend them to anyone...I wish they had been in business when I put in our pool!”

A family owned and operated business, as this homeowner discovered Bratton Pools maintains an A+ rating with the BBB. Services include construction, renovation, repairs and pool maintenance, as well as full outdoor space planning and construction...including outdoor kitchens, living areas, entertainment areas, fire pits and patio extensions. The staff are Certified Pool Operators and Certified Maintenance Operators and Mike and Kryshon are very hands-on...supervising the process every step of the way.

But what makes Bratton Pools really stand above the rest is their attention to exactly what their customers want. Kryshon says, “When we build or renovate your pool...it’s all about making it yours. We go out to your home, take a look at your space, and get a feel for what you are wanting. What I love is that through the designs, we really see the personality of our clients come out! For this homeowner, the perfect coping was travertine...what will it be for you? Give us a call and let’s see!”

ARE YOUR TEETH

HIGH-TECH?

B

by Olivia Cane e honest. When is the last the last time you’ve seen a dentist? If it has been ten years or longer...then you have no idea how painless, effective, and space-age modern dentistry has become. Once you’ve seen what’s possible, all the things you used to fear (blood/pain/needles) will have no choice but to fall by the wayside. Imagine instead of looking forward to going to the dentist! This is especially true if your dentist happens to be Dr. Lance Jue, DDS, at A Beautiful Smile at

Lake Pointe.

Dr. Jue, a Meyerland native who graduated from the dental school at the University of Texas Health Science Center, is on the absolute cutting edge of modern dentistry. In fact, he offers two things in particular that no other dentist offers in Fort Bend...a state-of-the-art treatment for TMJ sufferers called TMJ NextGeneration™, and Store-A-Tooth™–cuttingedge stem cell technology using your teeth.

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, or TMJ, affects more than thirty-five million people in the United States...a high percentage of them females between the ages of twenty and forty. It is characterized by discomfort while chewing, a clicking, popping, or grating in the jaw joint, and oftentimes, headache. The traditional treatment for TMJ is pain medication and bite guards...both of which have their own drawbacks. What Dr. Jue offers is a simple, non-invasive approach called TMJ NextGeneration, which treats the nearest access point to your jaw—your ears. Two custom-made inserts are created that permit passage of sound but offer full relief from pain. No more slurred speech from use of the bite guard. No more popping the bite guard in and out just to eat. Since the inserts can be worn twenty-four hours a day, you don’t have to remember where you left them. And best of all? No more pain.

SAVE A TOOTH-SAVE A LIFE!

Stem cells from teeth could help protect your family’s health.

As further proof that dentistry has indeed entered the 21st century, Dr. Jue and his staff at A Beautiful Smile are proud to offer Store-A-Tooth–access to a storage facility for your own dental stem cells to help you fight future diseases and infections. Stem cells can be used to regenerate the body’s many cells, tissues, and organs. The stem cells from baby teeth, wisdom teeth, or teeth removed for orthodontic purposes are harvested and then stored until the day you or a family member might need them...because when you use your own stem cells, there is far less risk of your body rejecting them.

Along with the absolute latest in modern dentistry, A Beautiful Smile provides your family with state-of-the-art general, cosmetic and restorative dentistry with extended hours...and even some Saturday appointments! Check out their website and call today!

As an Audi Technologist, Dustin has undergone a comprehensive Audi Dealership Technology training course and is an expert in all areas of the technology equipped in an Audi. His job during “Second Gear” is to ensure that you understand the features in your vehicle, so that they are easy to use during your driving experience. Dustin says, “You

spend a lot of money on a new car, why not understand all that it is capable of?

Some of the more complex, but cool functions include the Audi MMI (the Audi operating system), Advanced Key (our electronic access and authorization system), Audi Connect (in-car wifi), Night Vision, and the Audi Parking System. While complex, most are completely customizable...and I will help you learn about them and use them, free of charge. You can come back to the dealership, or I can come right to your driveway for second delivery...that way the whole family can participate and ask questions, and we can go ahead and get you set up to open your gates or garage doors right from your car!”

Dustin’s legacy is Audi. His father, the Audi Central Houston shop foreman, has been with Audi for more than 20 years. “I’ve crashed a couple of Audis myself,” says Dustin, “and I swear by them. In one of those instances, I credit the engineering and safety of the Audi with saving life. And when you believe in the product, it’s easy to be excited about your job! Each month, I average about 50 or 60 customers...new Audi owners that I help to really become familiar with their car...for free. And it’s free whether you buy new or certified pre-owned...a truly great service!”

Danny Posey, the General Manager for Audi Central Houston, says, “As your car dealer, we may not see you that often―just a few times a year―but we love striving to build a relationship with our clients. Our Audi Technologist “Second Gear” service is a part of that relationship. Once you better understand all the amazing technology in your car and the ways it can improve your everyday life...we’re sure you’ll fall in love with your new car all over again!”

hen Steve and Melissa May decided to re-do their two upstairs bathrooms, life issues got in the way.

He wanted geologically interesting stone, she preferred glass, art and keepsakes. They tried pulling the pieces together themselves from the gazillion options, but it was just too boggling. The one thing they knew...they both love the water. Melissa says, “I purchased two tile murals on Ebay...we had to start somewhere. These became the anchors for each design–one riverine and the other oceanic.”

After reading about the Re-Modelista in a local publication, Melissa gave Teri Gilberg a call. Melissa says,

“Unlike past vendors, Teri and lead contractor Hector showed up on time. Both were easy to work with and very professional...and listened to our out-of-the-box ideas. As just examples, I wanted a medicine cabinet fronted with a picture frame to house changeable art (www. concealedcabinet.com) and my husband wanted a linen closet that didn’t even exist. But Teri was amenable, sent her detailed bid and we embarked on this adventure!”

“We were new to this,” continues Melissa, “but Teri held our hands throughout the worry and frenzy. We had

already decided that the murals were to be ‘framed’ with travertine chair rails and had colors picked. These pre-decisions greatly informed the subsequent shopping sprees with Teri. She helped us pick and coordinate everything else and assisted in making money-saving decisions. When the precut marble we had selected was unavailable, we purchased an entire slab that was on sale due to minor damage...and then used some of the leftover to frame the mirrors.

Oil rubbed bronze shower hardware was purchased from Amazon.com at a fraction of local cost. The original mirrors were trimmed in lieu of purchasing new.

Whenever we weren’t sure of our decisions, Teri insured us that it would all be okay. If we didn’t like it, they would take care of it.”

“From start to finish, it became a bit like having extended family trooping in and out, sharing their laughter and wisdom over bottles of water, coffee, kolaches, crawfish or sugar-free popsicles,” says Melissa. “And we are very happy with the results. It isn’t a million dollar re-do, but a reasonable endeavor to achieve a beautiful finale. On time, within budget–but so much more!”

HEALTH MATTERS WITH DR. STEVE HARRIS WHERE PAIN RELIEF COMES NATURALLY

“ I wish I could

take the machines home with me!”

T

hat’s what Geraldine Doerr, a local patient of Dr. Steve Harris, told us about the chiropractic treatment she receives at Sugar Land Health Center. “I had chronic back pain for a long time,” says Geraldine, “and at times I was even bedridden. My MD did an MRI and he was not alarmed at the results. He said a lot of people have back pain, so I thought it was just something I would have to live with for the rest of my life.”

But a friend of Geraldine’s thought otherwise. A longtime patient of Dr. Harris, this friend convinced Geraldine to accompany her to a “Patients and Friends” party at Sugar Land Health Center this past February. “The place looked like a spa and had beautiful, relaxing music in the background. All of the staff were so nice and professional,” says Geraldine. “And you could just tell Dr. Harris was a gentle and caring man. I wanted to see him for my back that night!”

When Geraldine did go to her first appointment, Dr. Harris put together a treatment plan to help her. “He told me there were no guarantees,” says Geraldine, “as he discovered my debilitating pain was caused by pressure on my sciatic nerve from multiple disc protrusions coupled with back pain. I didn’t want surgery...so I took a chance. I thought if Dr. Harris could relieve the pressure off the nerve, I could probably live with the back pain.”

Today, Geraldine is at the end of her custom treatment plan. “I have no recurring nerve pain,” says Geraldine, “and there are days I don’t even think about my back! I was always an active woman...moving heavy items without a second thought. I can no longer do that. I still have to take it easy, but with prayer and Dr. Harris’ help I’m so much better and I’ve avoided surgery. Each time I leave his office I always check my pain level as zero. The machines are just wonderful, not painful at all. I wish I could take them home! I’m now moving into a maintenance plan—twelve sessions between now and the end of the year. I really can’t think of a downside to what Dr. Harris has done for me! It’s truly wonderful!”

Dr. Harris says, “Back pain is the number one symptom I see in my patients. Geraldine knew something wasn’t right, but she also knew she didn’t want surgery. And she made a wise choice by not just reaching for a medi-

You Look

Fabulous!

by Susan Profilet hen someone looks at you...the first thing they notice is your eyes. When Lisa Lam decided to try eyelash extensions to make her eyes look even more beautiful, she loved the way they looked! Lisa says, “They look and feel completely real! I loved them so much that I became state licensed and certified to apply the highest quality eyelash extensions available. First I worked at a studio and then I opened Fabulash Studio in Sugar Land.

Eyelash extensions are natural looking, faux mink eyelash extensions applied one by one to each individual, natural lash.

Lisa says, “We can give you different looks depending on the size and shape of your eyes. We treat each client as an individual, and tailor the lashes to your eyes...nothing’s cookie cutter...what one person needs may be completely different from the next.

Services include the mascara look, the fabulous look, and the dramatic look...it just depends how many lash extensions you want! And the initial full set usually takes less than two hours to put in place.”

Once you have your fabulash lashes...mornings are a piece of cake! “You can skip the mascara, eye liner, and even eye shadow,” says Lisa. “Our services are practical for everyone...especially for women who want to wake up and go. And they are fantastic for brides and wedding parties...really anyone who’s wants to look perfect for a photoshoot.”

In addition to lash extensions and maintenance, Fabulash Studio also provides eyebrow shaping by waxing or threading, eyebrow

tinting in any color to match your hair, eyebrow extensions, and color lashes. “It’s “lash art” tailored to who you are!” says Lisa.

“Clients tell us all the time that after getting lash extensions, they look more awake and that they feel pretty. Our lashes make a really big impact on selfesteem, but it’s a really subtle change...one that just has your friends telling you how great you look. Come in today or call for an appointment, I’d love to help make your lashes fabulous!”

ver had an injury from running, exercising, or playing a sport?

A woman in Sugar Land was doing CrossFit training and cut open her shin jumping over a box…Dr. Lance Campbell, Pharm. D., R.Ph and his team at Campbell’s Compounding Pharmacy helped heal her wound. Whether you are a mom who goes to boot camp class or CrossFit, a weekend warrior who runs in 5Ks, a high school athlete who plays football, or a professional athlete, at some point, you may have a painful injury.

The pharmacists at Campbell’s Compounding Pharmacy work closely with you to create the best treatment for your injury. Dr. Lisa Mathew manages the Houston and Sugar Land locations and is one of the pharmacists that might greet you in Sugar Land.

She says, “The sky’s the limit. There is really no ceiling on what types of sports injuries we see.

Common problems include tennis elbow, bursitis, knee pain, and sore shoulders and ankles.

Oral medication can be effective, but it may have nasty side effects. We can accomplish the same results with topical forms. We mix up creams for athletes suffering from bumps and bruises or charley horses. We can mix up transdermal analgesics to relieve pain. The topical creams will not interfere with oral medication that you may also be taking...and they will not make you drowsy.

And with compounding, we can adjust the dosage, its medication (and its form!) to fit you.”

Once the injury heals...Campbell’s Compounding can help with scars too! “We carry overthe-counter medications such as Advanced Proxy Gel...a cream for scars,” continues Lisa, “But

if your scar starts itching as it heals...it could leave an even uglier scar. For these situations we can compound the Advanced Proxy Gel, adding in other anti-itch medications...making it a prescription that is tailored to your needs!”

If you have a sports injury, Dr. Campbell has a solution for you! Dr. Campbell has been compounding medication to meet individual needs since 2003. Call 281980-2555 for information or just stop by Campbell’s Compounding Pharmacy and say “Hi!”...they’d love to meet you!

Legendary, American-Made Performance

by Amy Sharp

When you are a serious audiophile...serious, high-end equipment wall-mount option...it really depends matters. Did you know that the best amplifiers in the world have been made right here in the USA for more than 64 years?

“Power amplifiers are the driving force behind any great system,” says Richard Machemehl of Home Theater Evolutions. “That’s why we are proud to offer made in the USA, legendary McIntosh amplifiers. With a blend of eye-catching aesthetics, power and sonic integrity, these top-of-the-line amplifiers have been capturing the imagination of music lovers and home theater enthusiasts for decades.”

What sets McIntosh apart? Well, it’s the best and it’s built to last! In a CBS News Morning Show segment, a McIntosh employee was asked how long these amps would last...he didn’t know! “We’ve been making them for 64 years,” he said, “and they’re still working!” “These amps will change the way you listen,” says Richard, “Once you put in a McIntosh, it’s an investment. You will have crystal clear sound for the next 60+ years and counting...no need to replace equipment every five years or so. It lasts so long you’ll have to pass it on to your kids and grand kids. And unlike most electronics, these amplifiers appreciate. It’s an investment...a guaranteed return. They average 5-10% appreciation a year. You can find McIntosh amps on Ebay that retailed in the ‘70s for around $500 that today are worth more than $2500. We know they’re not cheap. The McIntosh company motto is ‘Spend more on the good, hear less of the bad.’ But if you can afford it...you’re buying longevity and you’re buying the best. You’ll be hearing the music as the artist wants it to be heard...and your equipment will outlast you!”

Ready to outfit your home with best amp in the world?

Richard and his partner Scott Crain at Home Theater Evolutions are at your service! “We can help you with the full package,” says Scott. “McIntosh is the undisputed best amp, and we can help you choose speakers to work with them to produce the sound exactly as it is, without any distortions. Speakers can be in-ceiling, in-wall, as bookshelf speakers, or with a removable 22 ~ UPCLOSE ~ July 2015

Sound good? Come by Home Theater Evolutions’ showroom and hear the McIntosh amp and other equipment for yourself. “We offer free in-home estimates, up-front pricing, complete installation and set-up,” says Scott, “Tell us what you want and we’ll put together a package and equipment that’s perfect for you!”
