Even though ‘mom’ may be the best title you’ve ever had, pregnancy and breast feeding can leave your body feeling tired and looking a bit deflated.

If he (she) passes the written examination he is then asked to take an oral exam. Each of these exams typically has a failure rate of about 20%. Put another way, for each 100 […]
We are the first medical practice in Tarrant County offering the Vectra XT imaging system. This is truly a “Wow” device! Six cameras take pictures of you, then a computer takes those six pictures and reconstructs one 3-dimensional image. We can then do some amazing things with this 3-D image. The image can be rotated […]
