needs and goals. In addition to this, we have the
leading edge of technology in hair restoration,
cellulite treatment and body sculpting.
Best Advice to Patients | My advice to
patients would be to always be an open book
when talking to your doctor—don’t hold back.
Let them know exactly how you are feeling,
so that we can help. You deserve to feel and
look great. This is the reason I specialize in
hormone therapies and hair restoration. This
is the reason I have assembled such a diverse
team of physicians and surgeons.
Why Choose Me | I not only offer the latest
and greatest technologies and treatments to
help patients look and feel as young as they
deserve—I hold myself and my staff to the
highest level of patient care. We strive every
day to better the lives of our patients. It is not
just about how long you live or how good you
look. It’s about having the best quality of life
along the way.

TrueMedicine
About TrueMedicine | TrueMedicine is
a multi-physician group specializing in adult
primary care. With a special emphasis on
compassionate care that is patient-centered,
patients have flocked to this practice. TrueMedicine is dedicated to improving the value
of healthcare by focusing on outcome effectiveness, increasing service and convenience,
as well as controlling costs. Their objective
is to offer the best patient centered “Medical
Home” model, using a team-based approach.
All staff are continuously trained on the importance of communication to establish an
effective continuum of care for their patients.
Our Philosophy | The TrueMedicine philosophy is to address the “TRUE” needs of the
patient, which oftentimes is not the same as the
given reason for a patient’s visit. The providers are
given additional education and training on the
importance of identifying psychological and social
stressors which contribute to symptoms, and how
to address these in a costeffective way. Through
emphasis on developing close relationships with
patients, TrueMedicine providers and staff are
attempting to maintain the process of patient
care as close to “the way it used to be” as much as
possible. Their founder, Dr. Jonathan Matthews,
states, “Taking care of patients is an honor and
a privilege. We should care for every patient as
though they are our own family member—and
that is what TrueMedicine is really about.”
DR. JONATHAN MATtHEWS
Why Choose Us | TrueMedicine employs a
state of the art Electronic Medical Record system giving them the ability to deliver consistent

Creekside Pet Care Center
Specialty | Creekside Pet Care Center is a full
service veterinary medical facility. It has steadily
grown into one of the area’s premier veterinary
hospitals. They provide full service veterinary
care, deluxe animal boarding, doggy daycare,
grooming and training. Their staff seeks to provide the best possible medical care, surgical care
and dental care for their highly-valued patients.
They are committed to promoting responsible
pet ownership, preventative health care and
health-related educational opportunities.
Services include:
• Veterinary Clinic
• Grooming
• Pet Boarding
• Training
Most Important Qualities of the DoctorPatient Relationship | Dr. Rob Hance
and his team have mastered the subtle art of
animal rapport. “At other vets, I’ve had to drag
them in,” says longtime client, Elaine Henley.
“Dr. Hance and the other vets are so kind and
caring. They genuinely love the animals. The
(817) 421-5850
|
front office is always happy, helpful and upbeat.
The dogs can’t wait to go there.”
Why Choose Us | “Creekside is a very
unique and special place, but more importantly it is a team of special people that make
the difference,” says Dr. Hance. “Our goal is
to provide the best pet care and client experience possible. We are in the business of developing relationships with families, including
the four-legged members. The fact that all pet
care needs can be met in the same location
with the same team is a huge bonus.”
Professional Memberships / Licenses |
One primary distinction is their accreditation
by the American Animal Hospital Association
(AAHA). An elite few, 15 percent of all veterinary practices in the United States and Canada,
are accredited, which requires them to pass regular evaluations based on 900 quality standards
of pet care, including surgery, record keeping,
dental care, emergency services, cleanliness,

imaging, anesthesiology and more. AAHA
standards are internationally recognized as the
benchmark for quality care in veterinary medicine and provide an added layer of assurance
for patients and their custodians. Their accreditation demonstrates their commitment to the
highest standards of veterinary care.
Why We Stand Out | Dog and cat owners
feed, nurture and lavish attention on their pets.
Our highly qualified kennel attendants do
the same when you can’t be there. Guests of
Creekside’s pet boarding facility are all lavished
with attention during their stay—brushing,
cuddling, treats, supervised outdoor playtime on
two acres of fenced pasture. Creekside also has
new suites that offer all of the comforts of home.
Creekside Promise | We promise to
exceed our client’s expectations in their service
and in the care of their pets, everyday.

including eyelid and brow lifts, correct lid
malpositions (such as turning in or turning out),
lid ptosis, tear duct problems, skin cancer of
the eyelids, thyroid eye problems and orbital
tumors. In addition to these treatments, I
also offer numerous cosmetic services such
as Botox, Dysport, Radiesse, Restylane,
Juvederm, Prevelle Silk, CO2 laser resurfacing,
Thermage, IPL and DermaPen. DermaPen
is a new micro-needling technique that treats
skin texture and wrinkles all with minimal
downtime. I also incorporate the ArqueDerma Artistic Restoration Lift technique with
Juvederm, if appropriate to the patient’s needs.
Most Important Qualities of the DoctorPatient Relationship | Listening. To fully
understand each patient’s concerns, I must
spend enough time with each of my patients to
carefully discern their unique needs and goals.
My Best Advice to Patients | Don’t ever
feel rushed into any treatment. Take ample
time to ask questions before considering all
of the options available to you. Then, choose
the plan of action that feels right for you.
Why Choose Me | I trained as an
ophthalmologist. What this means to
my patient’s is that I have a great deal of
experience and comfort working around
the eyes. And because physicians in my field
actually pioneered the use of Botox, I have had
15 years of experience with cosmetic Botox
and 20 years experience with its medical use.
Through all of my professional experiences,
my foremost goal is always to preserve the
natural function of the lids in order to avoid
any possible eye problems.

Greatest Professional Accomplishment
To be able to say that I enjoy the respect of
my fellow physicians, so much so that several
of them have come to me for their own eyelid
surgery—which is the ultimate compliment.
I have worked hard to build a successful
practice as a solo practitioner, recognizing
that it is not common in today’s industry.
Charitable Work | I am proud to serve as
a Girl Scout leader and as the fundraising
chair for a local Boy Scout troop. I also
actively support the Lion’s Club, as well as
participate in the Komen Race for the Cure
annually in honor of my grandmother, who
died from breast cancer.

What Sets You Apart | The best gift we can give
our patient is not only a healthy smile, but a smile and
experience that they will feel good about. Ultimately,
the way we care for our patients is what seperates us
from other offices.
Most Important Qualities of the Doctor-Patient
Relationship | We listen to our patient’s needs and
concerns and come up with a treatment plan that they
are comfortable with and trust.
Best Advice to Patients | Don’t let fear stand in
your way of getting what is necessary to improve
your oral health and ultimately, overall health. We
strive to make every appointment comfortable and
easy for our patients.
Why Choose Us | We believe that dental care
should be a fun and positive experience for everyone. I
understand how uneasy some patients feel about their
dental visits and how we make a difference in providing
a warm, relaxing and comfortable environment.
Our practice is family-friendly. When we see one
family member, we are seeing the entire family (from
grandparents to parents to children). It is important that
we get everyone involved and motivated about their
health because good dental care shouldn’t end at the
dental office, it should extend to home. We strive to be
thorough in everything we do—taking the time to get to
know our patients, making sure they are well informed
and educated of dental procedures, and that they
receive quality dental care from the moment they walk
through our doors. Our team is dedicated to providing
our patients with excellent personalized care and service
to make every visit as easy and pleasant as possible. We
provide a broad spectrum of dental care for our patients
from preventive to restorative to cosmetic dentistry. To
ensure that we stay committed to our high standard of
care, we continue to educate ourselves through advance
continuing education courses.

addressing high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid issues,
fatigue, insomnia, weight or athletic performance issues each
patient gets the attention they need and deserve.
Most Important Qualities of the Doctor-Patient
Relationship | I truly want to help my patients live a
full and happy life. Sometimes that means taking them off
meds. Sometimes it means putting them on others, but no
matter what the plan, it is something the patient and I will
discuss, evaluate and decide together. I really love to educate
patients, so that they can truly understand what is happening
to their body. This helps them be more compliant with their
treatment plans and taking any supplements or medications
correctly. Helping patients be the best that they can be is a
true passion of mine.
What Separates You From Others in Your Field
Doctors have a desire to help their patients. It has been
my experience that insurance makes it difficult to build a
well-rounded practice. Life’s Medicine is a fee for service
practice allowing me to spend significantly more time with
my patients, i.e. be highly attentive. I limit the number of
patients I have in order to spend the time the patient needs.
This allows time to really listen to my patients and take into
account what they’re feeling, what their lives are like and
how they take care of themselves. These factors affect their
overall health. I won’t shove them into some pre-determined
diagnosis and ignore obvious signs or symptoms. I want my
patients to leave their appointment excited, optimistic and
hopeful about their future health.

[Cosmetic/Restorative Dentistry]
Specialty | Comprehensive restorative/
crown and bridge dentistry with an emphasis
in Cosmetic Rehabilitations. All cases are
accomplished with comfortable oral sedation,
so we can be very efficient with our patient’s
busy schedules, as well as putting the most
anxious patients at ease.
Important Qualities of Doctor-Patient
Relationship | A patient should have the
final say as to the level of care that they want
to pursue. Decisions made by insurance
companies tend to best serve insurance
companies. Our practice has no managed
care philosophies in place. We are relationship
driven. We know our patients by their name,
not their insurance coverage.

About Cryotherapy, Metabolic Testing and Athletic
Biomarkers | Life’s Medicine offers Whole Body
Cryotherapy. This hyper-cooling process lowers a person’s
skin temperature to approximately 40˚ F for a short period
of time. It is achieved by enveloping the body with extremely
cold air for up to 3 minutes. The cryosauna devices are
proven, innovative and cutting-edge technology. You can
enhance and improve your athletic performance, as well as,
accelerate the body’s natural recovery processes while offering
overall benefits to your beauty, health and wellness. Metabolic
Testing (indirect calorimetry) measures a patient’s true basal

simple neck or back strains to complex spine
disorders. We offer the full spectrum of services

implants, Botox injections for back/neck muscular pain and trigger point injections.
Best Advice to Patients | If faced with
back or neck pain choose a multidisciplinary
spine center that offers a comprehensive, conservative approach with the most innovative
techniques for treating spine conditions.
Why Choose Us | In the traditional spine
care model, patients with back or neck pain
are referred to several specialists in different
locations for testing and treatment with multiple office visits, delayed access, and little to
no communication or collaboration amongst
those specialists regarding the best course of
treatment for the patient. To address these
issues, the Spine Team Texas concept provides all of the necessary diagnostic testing
and treatment in one location. This optimizes
convenience, efficiency and effectiveness for
patient outcomes and quicker return to quality of life. Our conservative approach to spine
care utilizes surgery as a last resort. This provides patients with an opportunity for effective
treatment with decreased interruption to their
busy lifestyle.

Specialty | Board certified fellowship-trained spine
surgeon. My specialty includes all aspects of spinal
surgery (cervical, thoracic and lumbar), including
minimally-invasive procedures for herniated discs,

only option. I am a firm believer in the human body’s
ability to heal itself. I make every attempt to avoid surgery
as a first option by using anti-inflammatory medications,
physical therapy, massage and other effective methods.
Only when my patient is unable to alleviate symptoms
with non-surgical treatments is surgery considered as
part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
