Originally a medical equipment auction house, Centurion Service Group has firmly cemented its commitment to building a comprehensive, provider-centered medical equipment model, including selling new and reconditioned medical equipment.

The acquisition of Ganim Medical in July of last year added retail distribution and enabled Centurion Service Group to provide hospital customers a full-circle solution for equipment liquidation and re-purchase, according to president and CEO Erik Tivin. The addition of Monet Medical adds infrastructure, distribution, and advanced reconditioning capabilities to the growing medical equipment solutions company:

“Monet Medical is an important step for us in the direction of creating a comprehensive, value-focused medical equipment solution for providers.

Monet Medical’s two Salt Lake City facilities, highly professional infrastructure and great leadership enlarges our footprint and strengthens our relationship with our customers”.

Home-based, Vestibular Virtual Reality system for treatment of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance

The advanced home-based VVR treatment system for dizziness, vertigo and imbalance is unique because it allows a doctor to remotely monitor a patient’s progress and adjust treatment prescriptions, accordingly, says Dr. Howard T. Mango.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)
February 06, 2020

Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute (the Institute) has launched a patent-pending, home-based, Vestibular Virtual Reality (VVR) system for the treatment of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, which is now available to national and international patients. The home-based VVR treatment system is built on the technology and proprietary Advanced Vestibular Treatment™ clinical protocols the Institute utilized to effectively treat Mark Cuban for dizziness caused by vestibular (inner ear) dysfunction. Vestibular dysfunction is a prominent cause of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, which nearly half of the U.S. population will experience in their lifetimes.

The advanced home-based VVR treatment system for dizziness, vertigo and imbalance is unique because it allows a doctor to remotely monitor a patient’s progress and adjust treatment prescriptions, accordingly, providing superior treatment outcomes vs. self-directed home therapy. The VVR treatment system is exclusively available to patients of the Institute and promises to deliver effective treatment to patients at home who suffer from often debilitating dizziness, vertigo and imbalance.

The home-based VVR treatment system is an extension of the Institute’s trademarked Advanced Vestibular Treatment. The proprietary clinical process is a “top-down” approach to diagnosing and treating dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, which starts with the vestibular system where a large portion of these disorders originate. Directed by doctors of audiology, Advanced Vestibular Treatment incorporates physical exercises with optokinetic stimulation to both desensitize visual motion disturbance and help restore balance function by utilizing integration techniques between the vestibular, visual and somatosensory inputs. Advanced Vestibular Treatment can be more efficient and effective than traditional “bottom-up” therapies, such as vestibular rehabilitation therapy, that utilize exercises and core strengthening for postural control.

“The home-based VVR treatment system is a new and revolutionary aspect of Advanced Vestibular Treatment,” says Dr. Howard T. Mango, CEO and founder of Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute. “The underlying clinical protocols are proven to effectively treat vestibular related balance issues, as with Mark Cuban. The introduction of the VVR treatment system to deliver this clinical efficacy at home is a far-reaching way to help restore patients to activity levels prior to the onset of their symptoms.”

To get the VVR treatment system, patients must first undergo a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation at the Institute. If vestibular dysfunction is diagnosed, a recommendation for treatment is prescribed by one of the Institute’s doctors of audiology. Patients then begin home-based treatment through the VVR system with an accompanying concierge care plan of their choosing. Patients are cared for by their doctor of audiology during treatment through regular phone and online appointments, as well as remote monitoring to evaluate treatment progress, with adjustments to treatment prescriptions implemented throughout.

The VVR treatment system is available to patients for purchase or lease and includes self-contained virtual reality goggle system, mobile phone application, Advanced Vestibular Treatment web portal, patient-specific optokinetic treatment stimuli and physical exercise videos.

“Virtual reality, real-time connectivity and Advanced Vestibular Treatment are a true convergence of high-tech and high-touch healthcare,” says Dr. Mango. “From the convenience of each patient’s home, we can now deliver highly personalized, highly effective treatment of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance. For dizziness, Vestibular Virtual Reality is a home-healthcare gamechanger.”

About Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute

Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute is one of the country’s leading practices for the research, diagnosis and treatment of patients with vestibular dysfunction – one of the leading causes of dizziness, vertigo and balance disorders.

The official New Jersey Select Top Doctor 2020 Badge

My goal in all procedures is to create great, natural-looking results. In rhinoplasty, this is dependent on changing a nose from a dominant facial feature to one where it complements the rest of the face.

PRINCETON, N.J. (PRWEB)
February 07, 2020

The Glasgold Group, a Princeton plastic surgery center that has been serving patients since the 1960s, is proud to announce that Dr. Robert A. Glasgold was recently recognized as one of NJ Monthly Magazine’s “Select Plastic Surgeons” for 2020. The recognition was given for Dr. Glasgold’s excellence in rhinoplasty, which is known as one of the most challenging plastic surgeries to perform and master.

Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job,” is performed to reshape the nose for an improved appearance and/or enhanced breathing and function. Because the nose is the most prominent facial feature and affects a person’s facial balance, rhinoplasty must be carefully customized to suit each patient’s exact needs. It is extremely difficult to create a natural-looking result from rhinoplasty, but Dr. Robert Glasgold is known for his artistry and his ability to create a beautiful nose for each patient. He is fellowship-trained and specializes in this popular and versatile procedure.

During the rhinoplasty consultation process, Dr. Glasgold takes the time to get to know his patients and to truly understand their needs. He uses advanced imaging software to help them visualize the possible results of their rhinoplasty and ensures that all of their questions and concerns are addressed fully. This commitment to communication helps to ensure that Dr. Glasgold and his patients are on the same page and working toward the same goals.

Dr. Glasgold notes that there’s nothing more important than customizing the rhinoplasty procedure:

“My goal in all procedures is to create great, natural-looking results. In rhinoplasty, this is dependent on changing a nose from a dominant facial feature to one where it complements the rest of the face. Patients frequently note that after surgery their favorite features, be it their eyes, mouth or cheekbones, now shine through.”

The acclaimed Glasgold Group plastic surgery center in Princeton, NJ, is run by Robert Glasgold, MD, FACS, and his brother, Mark Glasgold, MD, FACS, who also made the NJ Monthly Magazine’s list of top plastic surgeons in 2019. The practice was founded and run by their father, Dr. Alvin Glasgold, for decades and continues to flourish due to the brothers’ commitment to surgical excellence and unparalleled patient care.

At the Glasgold Group, patients can choose from a variety of facial surgeries and procedures, including rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid surgery, browlift, injectable treatments, and much more. Drs. Robert and Mark Glasgold enjoy helping their patients achieve positive change and lead to more confident lives.

Prospective patients can schedule a consultation with our acclaimed plastic surgeons to find out if they are a candidate for plastic surgery.
