“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” may be an oldie, but is still a goodie when it comes to wisdom about health and wellness. Luckily for those of us in the Naperville area, from vision and dental to heart health and the care of our bones and feet, our medical community has us covered.

Regular check ups really are the key with some clinics, like vision, that recommend yearly testing as early as age one. Dental visits are recommended every six months and cancer screenings begin for many of us in our 40s. The good news is that with today’s technology and our many award-winning practices and nationally recognized physicians, we are in good hands—from top to bottom.
