- Nutritional CounselingBariatric physicians, or bariatricians, are medical doctors who specialize in the treatment of overweight and obese patients and related medical conditions. These licensed physicians have received special training in Bariatric Medicine: the art and science of medical weight management. Bariatricians treat overweight and obese patients with a comprehensive program of diet and nutrition, exercise, behavioral therapy and, when necessary, the prescription of appetite suppressants and other appropriate medications. (The word bariatric stems from the Greek root “baro” meaning heavy or large.)

Hormone pellet implants improved all my symptoms in about 3 to 4 weeks. By almost 100 percent. The dryness disappeared and my libido felt like when I was young. Thanks to pellets-my life is back.
- GlaucomaLATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% was actually discovered as a beneficial side effect of LUMIGAN®, a drug created by Allergan and used to treat glaucoma. During the treatment, patients noticed significant eyelash growth. Allergan then ran studies on the safety and efficacy of LATISSE® for eyelash growth and created a delivery device for correct application. The results were excellent and today LATISSE® is the only FDA approved product for eyelash growth.
- Internal MedicineWhen it comes to weight control, safety is the biggest concern. At MGR all decisions regarding your care and progress are made with the expert knowledge by bariatric and internal medicine boards certified medical professional who is dedicated to your safety and long term success.
- EndoscopyThe procedure is minimally invasive, and quite simple technically. It takes 5 to 7 minutes to place the balloon in the stomach under endoscopy, which supervises the proper position of the balloon. First of all patients will undergo conscious sedation, like at the dentist. Side effects are minimal although patients may feel nauseated and experience some abdominal cramping post insertion. ReShape balloons will stay in place for a 6 month time frame. Over the course of this 6 months patients will commit to diet and exercise. In addition, patients will see a weight loss specialist on a regular basis. After 6 months the balloon is removed in the same minimally invasive way.
- Prostate CancerIn well known medical journals, researchers have reported that the bio-identical hormones, estrogen and testosterone, are not only safe but also have a positive impact on diseases like osteoporosis and prostate cancer.

- UltrasoundDuplex ultrasound allows for visualization of veins and their venous flow assessment, along with determination of the status of the deep, superficial, and perforator veins. Therefore it allows us to look through the tissue and get a real time evaluation of the vein problems with each patient. Most of all, the evaluation is 100% pain free. In addition, we can even look at the direction of the flow of blood within the veins. In essence, veins in which the blood is not flowing back toward the heart are considered incompetent.
- ChemotherapyThis combination helps to detoxify and treat various neurological problems. High doses of vitamin C from 5 gm to 100 gm given through IV therapy boost the immune system and alleviate allergies and asthma. Vitamin C in high doses also works for the prevention and treatment of various cancers due to the ability of high doses of vitamin C to be converted to hydrogen peroxide, blocking the cancer’s cells from replicating. Therefore IV vitamin treatment aids those undergoing chemotherapy as well.
- BotoxBotox ® and Dysport® are the most popular injectable medications used in the skincare industry today. Botox® and Dysport® are simple, non-surgical treatments that temporarily smoothe moderate to severe lines around the eyes, brows, neck and forehead. Research also found they reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). The injection procedure takes just minutes, with results gradually taking shape over the next 4-7 days. When Botox® or Dysport®is properly injected by a trained medical professional, the process is safe, virtually painless and side effects are extremely rare. Our individualized treatments take particular attention not to cause bruising and look natural. You will see the rejuvenating effects and visible reduction of wrinkles and be happy with a younger looking you! Depending upon your own metabolism and receiving regular treatments the results can last for (3-4) months or longer.
- Brow LiftBrow lift – If you would like to open up your eyes or eliminate a “heavy brow” appearance, injection might be the right solution for you. Traditional brow lifts require a surgical incision, lifting of the skin and muscle adjustments. If your brow problems are mild, Botox® can create a lift by relaxing the muscles that pull your eyebrows downward. The result reveals a more arched (lifted) and youthful appearance around the eyes.

- Face LiftPRP facelift procedures combine the benefits of the hyaluronic acid filler and growth factors derived from stem cells. This combination uses your own blood to improve and smooth out wrinkles. In addition, a PRP facelift stimulates collagen production, as well as improves your overall complexion. First, we obtain blood from you, place it in a special centrifuge and separate plasma from platelets.
- Lip AugmentationPrevelle Silk® is commonly used in naso-labial folds, lip augmentation, worry lines, and tear trough under the eyes. Prevelle Silk® is the gentle, discreet way to shed years.

- Acne TreatmentAcne generally effects young people experiencing dramatic hormonal changes, but can continue into adult life as well. Even after acne has disappeared, acne scars may remain as a bad reminder of something you’d rather forget. Sporadic acne is generally treated with over-the-counter medications, but severe acne and acne scars treatments require the expertise of a physician. At MGR and its FeelNu Medical Spa and Wellness Center, we can help alleviate moderate to severe acne and scars through a variety of different methods or a combination of treatments.

- FungusOnychomycosis, nail fungus, is a tough adversary. It doesn’t go away on its own. In fact, it’s not going to surrender unless you force it to. Practitioners have long sought for a no holds barred way to fight onychomycosis without risking the surrounding tissue or the patient’s health. The wait is over.
- LesionsAcne occurs when hair follicle pores become blocked by natural components of the skin. This is the root of most acne lesions. Once blocked, inflammation and bacteria overgrowth occur leading to red bumps and cysts in the skin. Sebaceous or sweat glands of the skin can contribute excessive amounts of sebum into the plugged follicle increasing inflammation. Hormones can also play a role. Most teenagers experience affects to some degree. Adults, often, get acne for the first time while others have suffered since the teenage years. Acne is not life-threatening, but it can cause physical disfigurement (scarring) and emotional distress if not treated early.
- Chemical PeelsWhen topical acne medications do not provide satisfactory results, a clearer, healthy-looking complexion is possible with a chemical peel for acne or acne scars. An acne chemical peel applies a chemical solution to the skin. The solution causes the skin to blister and peel over a period of several days. As the treated skin comes off, fresh new skin replaces it. This exfoliation caused by the acne skin peel eliminates or reduces the appearance of acne blemishes and scars.
- Skin CareCosmeceuticals contain bioactive ingredients including vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants, ceramides, minerals, herbs, and essential oils. They intend to enhance the health and beauty of the skin by altering its structure. Because these prescription skin care products go beyond coloring, they improve function, encouraging collagen growth and making the skin healthier.
- MicrodermabrasionYour smoother, younger skin is just under the surface, waiting to emerge. Uncover it with microdermabrasion – a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. It uses a device like a fine sandblaster to spray tiny crystals across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin. It’s a safe and natural way to exfoliate and rejuvenate your face while reducing the appearance of fine lines, scars, age spots and sun damage. It is the most natural way to evenly and safely exfoliate the skin without chemicals or a laser.
