The eye is the window into each patient’s true health status and is one of the most noticeable features on a person's face. As Dr. Pantazis performs eye exams, she discovers signs that guide lifestyle modifications and medical therapies. By helping each patient optimize his or her weight, diet, toxin exposure, hormones and lifestyle she can help to treat and prevent future disease. By listening to her patients’ complaints about his or her appearance she can offer appropriate therapies and treatments, thereby enhancing each patient's self-esteem. Sexual health is a sign of whole-body health. Throughout Dr. Ally’s career she has found how Intimacy is a critical part of healing. It helps to enhance relationships, increase important and necessary hormones and neurotransmitters and act as an outlet for stress reduction.
