Steely Plastic Surgery

Dr. Steely is a rare find among both plastic surgeons and physicians in general.  In a time of assembly-line medicine, Dr. Steely and his staff have successfully combined mastery of cutting-edge techniques with old-school attention to individualized care.

Dr. Steely is double-board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, and limits his practice to rejuvenative and cosmetic surgery of the face, breast, and body. Dr. Steely and his staff believe that concentrating exclusively on the cosmetic side of plastic surgery allows them to excel in providing the best possible care and outcome for each patient.

Every patient is unique, so every rejuvenative solution recommended is a unique distillation of over ten years of experience designed to achieve the best possible results, delivered with care, compassion, and expertise.  A cosmetic procedure is a luxurious treat and the patient experience at Steely Plastic Surgery reflects this belief.  From keeping wait time to a minimum, to giving the patient as much time with Dr. Steely as necessary, to watchful scrutiny throughout the recovery period – the entire patient experience at Steely Plastic Surgery has been carefully constructed to deliver the best experience available.  We invite you to visit our office and see what a cosmetic surgery experience should be.

Carlos R. Hamilton III, MD
Diagnostic & Interventional Radiologist | Vein Specialist

Dr. Carlos Hamilton founded the Hamilton Vein Center with a very clear mission: to give varicose and spider vein sufferers their legs back, using the most painless, minimally invasive procedures available in an outpatient setting.

With nearly 20 years experience, Dr. Hamilton is also on a mission to dispel the misconceptions associated with varicose and spider veins – from treatments to causes. The most common one being that they’re just a cosmetic issue.

“Not true,” says Dr. Hamilton. “In addition to being unsightly these veins can also cause legs to feel heavy, tired, and achy. All signs of vein disease – a medical condition.”

Dr. Hamilton relies on ultrasound for diagnosis. “A discolored, painful area in the calf could actually be caused by a vein problem in the thigh. Ultrasound does the reconnaissance for me, so I can target the source and end the problem once and for all.” And long gone are the days of “vein stripping.” Today, procedures like VNUS Closure™ make legs look and feel better immediately and are covered by Medicare and most health insurance. “It is so gratifying to see my patients’ lives transformed because they finally did something about those irritating veins.”

Cy-Fair Hand & Wrist Surgical Associates, PA

Dr. Fiore is double board certified in surgery and surgery of the hand. He initially developed his interest in hand surgery while wrestling for the Duke University Blue Devils. Fracturing his wrist, he never took the ability to perform simple tasks for granted again. This interest persisted during medical school at Ross University and residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. After completing residency, he underwent additional training at the ACGME accredited hand surgery fellowship of Baylor College of medicine.

“50 years ago it might have been ok to see a general doctor for a hand issue, but not today. The anatomy and treatment of the hand is so complex. If hand surgery is not your focus, it is difficult to keep up with current treatments.”

Dr. Fiore’s practice is devoted solely to surgery of the upper extremity with a focus on the hand and wrist. Conditions treated include, but are not limited to, carpal or cubital tunnel, trauma (fractures, nerve or tendon injuries), Dupuytren’s contracture, and arthritis of the hand. He is ‘in network’ for most private insurance and offers early office hour appointments for your convenience.

Sakina Davis, MD, and George Davis, MD, share not only a marital and a professional relationship, but also a common philosophy that, in order for patients to achieve optimal health, they must treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.

“During my years in the emergency room, I’ve seen an increase in chronic diseases such as obesity and hypertension,” says Dr. George Davis, who is also the medical director of Houston Northwest Medical Center. “These can be prevented by attacking the root cause of patients’ symptoms. At the Woodlands Wellness & Cosmetic Center, we help our patients achieve a healthier lifestyle.”

Working together at their Woodlands Wellness & Cosmetic Center, the Drs. Davis’ treat patients using natural therapies and nonsurgical procedures to have them feeling and looking good both inside and outside.

“After years of watching my patients’ disappointment in results from the use of traditional, synthetic hormones and anti-depressants, I did research on a more natural approach, such as the use of bioidentical hormones and thyroid supplements,” Dr. Sakina Davis says. “This provided the relief my patients were looking for and has proven to be successful for thousands of men and women.”

The Drs. offer a variety of wellness programs including hormone therapy, thyroid replacement, nutrition and fitness counseling, treatment for attention deficit disorder and more. In addition, their center offers a bevy of non-surgical, cosmetic procedures including Cool Lipo, Ticke Lipo Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, laser hair reduction and laser vein treatment among other procedures.

“We can help you feel like yourself again,” Dr. Sakina Davis says.

Dust mite allergies, mold allergies, cat and dog allergies, pollen allergies. There is no end to the number of things that can cause allergies, making you sneeze, wheeze, cough and feel miserable. Relief comes in the form of Houston’s Top Docs at The Allergy Clinic.

Dr. David B. Engler, Dr. Alnoor A. Malick and Dr. Sunil K. Saraf are the medical minds behind The Allergy Clinic. They specialize in the treatment of allergies, asthma and immunology. Each is board certified by the American Board of Allergy and Immunology. While many allergists remain stagnant in their approach, using treatments that date back 20 to 30 years, The Allergy Clinic employs the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of allergies and asthma.

“We perform RUSH immunotherapy which allows patients to get the first 6 months of allergy shots all in one day. This provides relief much faster,” says Dr. Engler.

The Allergy Clinic has four locations, including the Texas Medical Center, Pasadena, Pearland and the Museum District.
“We often hear ‘these shots have changed my life.’ There is an enormous variability in how allergy shots are formulated and dosed,” Dr. Engler says. “We base our recipes on the latest published guidelines and balance that with the common sense that comes from years of experience. No one ‘nose’ allergies like we do TM.”

Anthony Perri, M.D.

“Texas Raised and Texas Trained.” As a child growing up in Corsicana, Dr. Anthony Perri learned the importance of early detection of skin cancer, as his own father was diagnosed with melanoma. Fortunately, the melanoma was treated before it had become more advanced and his father is alive and well today due to a skin cancer screening.

As a Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Perri treats all skin conditions and is committed to ensuring patients do not have to wait weeks – or even months – for an appointment. He maintains an open access policy with several appointments reserved each day so patients can be seen immediately if they are concerned about a changing skin lesion or a severe rash. Dr. Perri’s practice has also eliminated many of the traditional barriers to dermatology access, as his clinic is open 8AM to 8PM during the week and on select Saturday mornings.

Dr. Perri attended medical school in Houston at Baylor College of Medicine where he graduated with Honors and was inducted into the prestigiouis Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. Just a few years after graduating as Chief Resident of Dermatology at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Dr Perri has become Chief of the Dermatology section at Sadler Clinic and is quickly becoming regarded as one of the pre-eminent dermatologists in the Houston area.

Dr. Perri has two convenient offices at Sadler Clinic: Pinecroft Drive in The Woodlands and at League Line Road in Conroe. He is committed to educating the public about dermatology and maintains a daily dermatology blog on his website at TheWoodlandsDermatology.com and Facebook.com/TheWoodlandsDermatology.
