Rex Anderson, M.D.
Age Management
It seems perfectly logical that the young Rexford Kosciusko Anderson, Junior -- named, as his father was before him, and his father before that, after Thaddeus Kosciusko, the courageous Polish general and patriot who helped fight the British at West Point during the Revolutionary war -- would grow up to be fearless in his chosen field. Along with a natural affinity for risk, Rexford Anderson, Jr., like his father, who was an engineer managing a critical catalytic cracking unit for Pure Oil in Beaumont, Texas, had a keen mind for detail, and for solving complex, labyrinthine problems. As a boy, Anderson was drawn to games of intellect and logic. He is the oldest of two, born in 1942 in Port Arthur, Texas, while his father was fighting with the American army in World War II. By the time he was in high school, Anderson had developed an acuity for the game of chess, and was one of the top players - as well as the youngest -- on the city's chess team. He also enjoyed a vigorous debate, and was a member of the French High School debate club, as well as the tennis team. Otherwise, Anderson devoured the sci-fi novels of Keninlien, Asimov, Bradbury and writers of mysteries and detective tales, and found his home in the rational world of science, chemistry and numbers. In 1960, he graduated first in his class at French High School in Beaumont. Although he was offered an academic scholarship to Rice University in Houston, because it didn't include the cost of room and board, Anderson chose Lamar State College of Technology (now Lamar University) in Beaumont instead. He received scholarships from Lamar State and he lived at home while taking an average of 21 hours each semester. He graduated in 1964 with a bachelor of science in biology and a minor in chemistry. Anderson doesn't remember when, exactly, he decided to become a physician, but, naturally for him, he decided to specialize in the science of the mind. During his four-year medical school tenure at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Anderson first studied psychiatry, and spent one summer in an externship at the Cassel Hospital for Functional Neurosis at Ham Common, just outside of London, England. The Cassel Hospital was a training ground for future Freudian psychoanalytically oriented psychiatrists. Anderson soon concluded that the Freudian psychoanalytic model, although having merit, was a difficult and entirely too prolonged method of treatment, producing questionable and difficult to maintain results. Plus, much of the psychiatric treatment at that time was very difficult, as well as limited. "You had heavy drugs and electric shock," said Anderson. "And with psychopathology, you can study how people interact, but you can do little about it. Another medical specialty involving the area of the brain function might, from my standpoint, offer a wider range of patient treatment options." Still attracted to the processes that drive mental functioning, Anderson decided to specialize in what was then the nascent field of neurology, which was under the school's department of psychiatry. He wasn't intimidated by the scant number of neurology residents per year that the school turned out; nor did he listen to those who said that neurology wasn't any fun. "Neurology has always been thought of as a depressing specialty - brain tumors and MS and all kinds of untreatable degenerative diseases," he said. "But the question was, 'How much can you really help patients with neurological diseases?' You can really help, or ameliorate, patients' problems in 85% of the cases through medication and other types of intervention. " Anderson graduated after four intense years, then moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, for his internship at LDS Hospital, and then, his Neurology residency at the University of Utah College of Medicine. He was just one year from completing his residency when he was drafted into the Army and shipped to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne Division, known as the Screaming Eagles. The armed services detour, it turns out, allowed Anderson to explore an area of psychiatric treatment that he had been fascinated by since he was a little boy, and one that is still viewed with some skepticism today. The Army sent Anderson to learn about hypnosis, and for two years, he honed his skills on his patients who had fears, phobias, sexual problems and other symptoms which none of his medications would treat effectively. "It's like doing surgery on the mind," said Anderson, who enjoyed the quick solution aspect of hypnosis. "You determine where the problem came from, go find it, and get rid of it by tapping into the subconscious." In 1973, he returned to Salt Lake City to finish his last year of neurology residency at University of Utah College of Medicine. The next year, he moved to Abilene, Texas, and opened his practice. Before he arrived, he was booked several weeks in advance. He hasn't slowed down since. Today, thirty years later, Anderson is just as fascinated by the brain as he was as a child. "Neurology is diagnostic. I am frequently the fourth or fifth physician consulted for the patient's so far undiagnosed problem," he said. "I'm a problem-solver. I like problems, and I enjoy the challenge of figuring out what the diagnosis is, and, if at all possible, piecing together a treatment solution. I don't give up easily." Over the years, Anderson has treated a number of older patients with degenerative diseases - multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's among them - and always wondered why, as we age, our bodies, and our minds, began to slow down, then deteriorate. In 1990, he read the first of many articles that he would study on the decline of the human growth hormone (hGH), and he felt he'd found at least a partial answer. "You catch a cold, a sore throat, and you get fever, chills. You know you have something wrong with you. You get antibiotics, aspirin. It goes away," he said. "When your mind starts to go, you should also realize there's something wrong with you, too. It's not because you're getting older. It's because you have a disease." Curious to find out more, Anderson has spent the last 14 years doing research into what has become known as anti-aging medicine, a term which he's not fond of (he prefers "age management"). "You start looking around and it must be something that's internal that you're deficient in, and when someone really looks, the usual finding is the hormone levels are much lower than optimal and dropping lower. As hormone levels decrease with age, overall health and well being suffer. So the question is, if you replace hormones back to their normal levels, do you maintain your health or if you're not very healthy, do you get healthier? The answer is, yes. Chances are, you will, and there's a lot of medical evidence that says you will." And so, today, in addition to his neurology practice in Abilene, Anderson has just opened the NeuroMedical Institute for Age Management in Dallas, where he hopes to prevent degenerative diseases before they occur. His Dallas practice will focus on restoring patients' hormone levels to their normal, pre-decline levels in order to restore a better quality of life. Hormone therapy will be part of an overall treatment program focusing on total body-mind solutions, which will also include healthy diet and exercise recommendations and nutritional supplements. I've always liked being on the cutting edge of medicine and this kind of practice is definitely the new frontier," say Anderson. "My approach to medical treatment ash always been, and will always be, very proactive. This practice is unique in its scope and its methods. The individuals who are candidates for this type of health maintenance treatment are those who have a long term view of what they wish to accomplish, in that they want to maintain good health, vitality and an optimal quality of life throughout their entire lifespan. When I began this venture, I realized there were risks involved in attracting patients who were not obviously or consciously ill; but I know that the rewards for a patient committed to this type of treatment program can be tremendous.

H. Steve Byrd, M.D.
Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
The Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex area is uniquely fortunate in many ways. One of the reasons that many people move to and raise their families in this area is that there is an abundance of top-notch medical care available in many different specialties, including plastic surgery. There is a large group of very experienced board certified plastic surgeons from whom to choose when considering any type of plastic surgery. With the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in the heart of Dallas, there are also a number of professors of plastic surgery who train younger surgeons at UTSW.So what makes Dr. Byrd unique?Dr. Byrd is a board certified plastic surgeons who also happens to be a Professor in Plastic Surgery at UTSW, however his involvement doesn’t stop there. Byrd is also the Director of Plastic Surgery at Children‘s Medical Center and has served as chief of Plastic Surgery at Baylor University Medical Center as well as being past president of the Dallas County Society of Plastic Surgery. He has also served as president of the Rhinoplasty Society, which is a select international association that grants membership only to those very few potential members who have met their strict professional, medical, and ethical accomplishment standards. He has also remained active in the American Plastic Surgery Society and the Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation holding numerous leadership positions in both. In his over 25 years of practice in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, he has refined his skills and developed several innovative procedures including a less invasive facelift procedure, the Endoscopic Brow Midface Lift or EBMF. This procedure minimizes patient risk while achieving a natural, refreshed, elegant, and long-term result. He is often requested to review other surgeon’s professional writings before they can be accepted by professional publishers. He has also written many papers on his own and has been a collaborator on several books dealing with facial procedures, rhinoplasty, and other plastic surgery topics. Not only has Dr. Byrd instructed hundreds of surgeons during his tenure as Professor of Plastic Surgery at UTSW, he also routinely serves on the faculty of the many professional symposiums not only here in the United States, but abroad as well. Within a recent 12-month period he will have instructed at meetings in Dallas, New York, Tampa Bay and at the inaugural meeting of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons in Queensland. Byrd is recognized internationally as one of the premier authorities on facial rejuvenation, and also as one of the preeminent specialists in primary, secondary, and revisionary rhinoplasty. No one starts out as an internationally known plastic surgeon. In Byrd’s case, it is a distinction he has earned over his 25+ years of surgical and teaching experience. The breadth of his surgical experience accumulated as he continued to stay on the cutting edge in the profession actively involved in developing new procedures, improving existing procedures while refusing to accept ‘good enough’ when so much more was possible. That refusal to limit his professional life to ‘good enough’ is also very obvious in Dr. Byrd’s personal life. As a husband, father, and grandfather, his devotion to family is a very important and vital part of his life. As any parent knows, it takes more than good intention to make a family life ‘successful’ and Byrd puts the time and energy behind those good intentions spending as much time as possible with his large, tight-knit family. He’s also very active in his church and beyond. Making trips to Guatemala, Mexico, and Africa to provide medical care for the underserved populace not only benefits the indigenous people, but provides a sense of balance in his own life as well. So what IS it that makes Dr. Byrd unique? Is it his combination of skill, experience, dedication, and a passionate interest in not just the science of medicine, but in the care of patients? That’s certainly part of it. Being able to remain connected and empathetic to his patients while remaining an active scientific researcher and developer has earned him a large base of long-term patients while still attracting new patients. Being able to pin-point exactly what does make him unique may be as simple as his philosophy of "Compassionate care before, during and after surgery." It’s a philosophy his experienced staff has clearly adopted. They know that their reputation is only as good as the current patient in the office, and that is truly what sets Dr. Byrd and his staff apart. From the first phone call a patient makes to schedule an appointment to the last post-op visit a year after surgery, each patient contact along the line is met with the same professionalism, empathy and compassionate care.

Jeffrey Caruth, M.D., P.A.
Cosmetic Gynecologist
Plano, Texas has been very good to Dr. Jeffrey Caruth. He graduated from Plano Senior High Schoolwhere he met his wife of 25 years. His daughters also graduated from the same high school. Plano is where he climbed the medical ladder as a physician and where he currently operates his thriving businesses: his own OBGYN practice as well as Plano Aesthetics.Dr. Caruth left the city for Texas A&M as a young 18 year old who enjoyed science and helping others and returned as a medical doctor specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. He is currently a Cosmetic Gynecologist who specializes in body contouring, minimally invasive cosmetic solutions as well as minimally invasive procedures for women suffering from heavy bleeding and those seeking permanent birth control.One of the most important things Dr. Caruth learned in medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch and at Baylor University Medical Center was that “you can do whatever you want if you’re willing to work for it.” That philosophy has certainly been a guiding force throughout his professional career. Starting out as a staff physician at Medical Center of Plano, Dr. Caruth worked his way up to Chief of Staff in the Ob/Gyn Department: one of his proudest accomplishments as a professional. Two other moments stand out that fill Dr. Caruth with pride: having his grandmother see him finish school and start his medical practice before she died of cancer in 1995; and the success of his own OBGYN medical practice (opened in 1992) and that has now flourished to include Plano Aesthetics.In an effort to promote life long learning, Dr. Caruth attended a FotoFacialRF™ certification course in 2003 and really enjoyed the idea of offering his patients non-invasive cosmetic solutions. Since then, Dr. Caruth has focused his time and energy to train and become certified in the latest cosmetic procedures for Plano Aesthetics as well as minimally invasive surgical techniques that require little to no down time for his OBGYN patients.As a Cosmetic Gynecologist, Dr. Caruth is certified in the following:* Surgical and non-surgical body contouring* Cellulite treatments* SmartLipo* LipoDissolve* LipoSelection* LipoLite* VelaShape* VelaSmooth* Botox, facial fillers and lip augmentation* Skin rejuvenation and anti-aging including FotoFacialRF™* Laser safety* NovaSure for heavy menstrual bleeding* Essure for permanent birth controlAnd yes, he’s tried a few cosmetic procedures on himself including Botox and laser hair removal. He’s also experimented with various men’s skin care lines.Honesty, compassion, organization and commitment are qualities Dr. Caruth lives by. They were also the primary reasons he earned the People’s Choice Award for Best Doctor and Best Medical Spa in the Plano Star Courier in 2006 and Physician of the Month in June, 2007 by the Labor and Delivery Nurses at Plano Presbyterian Hospital.On weekends you can find Dr. Caruth and his wife participating in water sports, traveling, listening to music, gathering decorating ideas or spending time with their two daughters: Loren, 21 and Christen, 18 who attend their dad’s alma mater, Texas A&M.Liposuction Smart Lipo Cosmetic Plastic Surgery OBGYN

Robert S. Feferman, M.D., F.A.C.E.
Endocrinology
Menopause! Those hormonal changes that result in weight gain, fatigue, foggy thinking, insomnia, hot flashes, sweats, aging skin, bone loss, frequent urination, loss of sex drive, and mood swings that go from irritable to depression. For many women, the answer was found in artificial hormones (horse estrogen) until the bad news that those artificial hormone replacement medications could cause serious side-effects including cancer.Robert S. Feferman M.D., F.A.C.E., director of the Endocrinology Institute of Texas, who is board certified in endocrinology, metabolism and diabetes, specializes in the safe use of natural estrogen and other hormones as a part of comprehensive hormone replacement therapy. “Our first step is extensive blood work in which we measure baseline hormone levels including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and several other hormones.” Dr. Feferman says, “Hormones are vitally important for a woman to remain healthy and feel good, and they all get deficient as women go through menopause. We use only natural or bio-identical hormone replacement- the exact hormones the patient used to make. Proper hormone replacement makes women feel and look healthy again.”We also treat men with testosterone deficiency. Men who are low in testosterone suffer from fatigue, insomnia, mood swings, low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and weight gain. With natural testosterone replacement, the symptoms all resolve.Other services include the treatment of thyroid disorders (ultrasound, biopsies) osteoporosis diagnosis (bone density scans) and treatment, weight management, pituitary disorders, adrenal disorders, nutritional services, functional medicine and skin care.Dr. Feferman’s practice is growing by leaps and bounds. Many of his patients have been suffering for years. One of his patients is in her 90s. Frequently the staff receives thank-you cards and e-mails. “It is never too late to feel good again,” Dr. Feferman says.In addition to Dr. Feferman’s services, The Endocrinology Institute of Texas is staffed with two Registered Dieticians; Lori Bryant, Rd, LD and Caterina Messina Rd, LD. They both specialize in assisting patients with problem such as weight gain, unhealthy eating habits, insulin resistance, diabetes, food allergies and osteoporosis. No one way of eating is right for everyone, so Lori and Caterina work with individuals to develop personalized plans that are conducive to their way of life. In addition Lori is also a certified personal trainer with NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association).Now that your hormones, eating habits, and lifestyle are healthy, it is time to transform the outside! The Endocrinology Institute of Texas offers a variety of non-surgical procedures with the most advanced FDA approved technology. Dedra Thompson, CMA and Licensed Laser Technician, offers laser hair removal, Fotofacial (IPL), Microdermabrasion, YAG therapy for vein removal, TCA chemical peels. Dr. Feferman also personally administers BOTOX treatments! Minimize fine lines and wrinkles; treat sun damage, port wine stains and Rosacea.

Victor Gonzalez, M.D.
Obesity Surgery
Victor Gonzalez, M.D., received his Medical Degree from the University Of Iowa College Of Medicine in Iowa City, Iowa. His post-graduate training included a surgical internship and residency at Texas Tech University Health Science Center in El Paso, Texas, a five year General Surgery Residency program. After graduating from residency, he and his family moved to California where he started General Surgery private practice with a multi-specialty group. He built a very successful General Surgery practice, but after five years, he once again developed a yearning to learn more and decided to undergo further training by completing a one year Fellowship in Advanced Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive Surgery) and Bariatric (Obesity or Weight-loss) Surgery. The fellowship was at the fully accredited California Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery in Fresno, California. Dr. Gonzalez is one of a select few who has received training in the highly competitive and highly sought after Fellowship in Advanced Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive Surgery) and Bariatric (Obesity or Weight-loss) Surgery. Upon completing the fellowship he and his family decided to move back to Texas to be closer to family, and that warm Texas hospitality. Dr. Gonzalez is a Board Certified General Surgeon and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Surgery. He continued his accomplishments when he became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He maintains several affiliations and memberships including the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), the American College of Surgeons (ACS), the Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), the American Medical Association (AMA), the Texas Medical Association (TMA), and the Dallas County Medical Society (DCMS). His practice consists of Bariatric Surgery and General Surgery. He performs the full spectrum of traditional General Surgery procedures most of which can now be performed using the minimally invasive technique. His Bariatric practice continues to offer patients the comprehensive program approach that was started years ago by the Center for Obesity Surgery. The new program, however, now offers several Bariatric procedures including the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, the Adjustable Gastric Band (Lap Band), and the Sleeve Gastrectomy. All of these procedures can now be performed laparoscopically. Additionally, Dr. Gonzalez performs Revisional Bariatric surgery, including the new Stomaphyx procedure. This new procedure is performed endoscopically, so there are no incisions, which usually means less pain and faster recovery. He is proud to be one of only a handful of surgeons trained in the Stomaphyx procedure.

P. Craig Hobar, M.D.
Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
Dr. Craig Hobar has been recognized as one of the Best Doctors in America™, named a Healthcare Hero by the Dallas Business Journal, awarded the 2007 Consumer’s Choice Award for Cosmetic Surgery and chosen by his peers as a Texas Monthly SuperDoctor for the past three years. Notably, Dr. Hobar received the In Chul Song Award for Philanthropic Service from The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery for his tireless dedication to LEAP, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1991 dedicated to the mission of serving children and adults with congenital facial deformities living in underprivileged conditions in countries around the world. He finds immense gratification and fulfillment in his cosmetic surgery practice. In fact, according to Dr. Hobar, “I am blessed to have the practice that I do…plastic surgery is about improving quality of life. How many other specialties are defined by people who seek medical care out of desire and not out of need?” It is this compassionate recognition of the contribution to an improvement in a patient’s quality of life that is at the core of Dr. Hobar’s cosmetic surgery practice. Dr. Hobar is well known for his full support facelift. “The key to a natural long-lasting result in facial rejuvenation is to tighten the supporting structures that have been loosened with time and allow the skin to redrape naturally. There is no need for a pulled or unnatural look.” Dr. Hobar is not a proponent of the simpler procedures that are heavily promoted but do not address complete rejuvenation, feeling the commitment should be made to do this once and do it completely.His goal in breast augmentation is to create a naturally-appearing breast. He performs the surgery endoscopically and strives to avoid a scar on the breast when possible. The technique he uses serves to preserve the natural anatomy and function of the breast to facilitate future mammograms or natural changes in the breast, such as aging and childbearing. Another of Dr. Hobar’s favorite procedures is rhinoplasties and revisional or secondary rhinoplasties. “The nose is at the center of the face and a visual lead-in for the entire face. A nose with natural, pleasing features highlights other positive facial features and can enhance beauty significantly.” A rhinoplasty typifies the combination of art and science in plastic surgery since it requires such precise, specialized and highly individualized surgical talent. As such, Dr. Hobar likes to meet with patients prior to surgery to do a computer imaging consultation to ensure that he has a true understanding of the patient’s desires and goals. In addition to the above highlighted procedures, Dr. Hobar commonly performs liposuction, tummy tucks and breast lifts. As a founding member of Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute located within Baylor University Medical Center, Dr. Hobar performs his surgeries at the prestigious Dallas Day Surgery Center. This facility was recognized for its extreme level of safety in a study published in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. “I must be convinced that a procedure is safe, effective and beneficial to my patient before I will perform it.” Dr. Hobar is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a Fellow in the American College of Surgeons. He is an active member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Association of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Hobar and his wife Robin enjoy spending time with their three grown children and son-in-law, volunteering with LEAP, fishing in Florida and are active members of Park Cities Presbyterian Church.
