We are pleased to announce the arrival of the latest technology in
skin rejuvenation – Pixel fractional skin resurfacing and Harmony Skin
Tightening. Traditional skin resurfacing provides excellent skin rejuvenation but requires significant downtime. Pixel fractional resurfacing
provides good firming of the skin and improves skin texture and tone,
sun damage, wrinkles and acne scars with minimal downtime. Although
5 treatments are recommended for optimal results, improvement is seen
after the first treatment. Also available is Harmony Skin Tightening, a safe
and painless laser technology which tightens sagging skin on the face,
neck, arms, and hands with no downtime.

extensive experience and expertise in Dermatologic laser surgery, frequently serving as a preceptor for laser training and as a speaker regarding

Vicki Shelton White
REALTOR
“When you are preparing to sell your family home, I
understand the stress. I know what it takes to market a home
and truly work the listing, “ says Vicki Shelton White, real
estate industry pro for 25 years. From home renovator of over
20 homes to professional stager and now full time agent Ms.
White knows this business well.
“As a full time Realtor with Ellen Terry REALTORS, I am all
about service, making this transition happen smoothly. If my
client needs help staging, I can provide that service. I have
an inventory of furnishings I provide at no cost to my clients.
Having spent several years as a professional stager, I know
what it takes to put your
home in model condition. “My enthusiasm,

So if a client should need a

bit of touch up on a home
before the sale she knows
whom to call. Great negotiation skill is yet another important
talent Vicki has honed and she brings that with her too.
“I know the first hand needs of buyers and sellers alike. I
am very high energy and want to be your realtor! Call me and
let me show you what I can do for you. I promise no one will
work harder to make it happen. My enthusiasm, success and
buyers and sellers satisfaction are my best advertising.”
Vicki is obviously passionate about what she does and
it shows. She prides herself on being there for her clients.
Whether they are buying their very first home or sixth investment property Ms White makes sure all her customers are
treated like royalty.
Not only is Vicki aware of her clients needs but she also
brings that same compassion to needy people in her community. She is dedicated to volunteerism, having served
as Junior League President. Vicki has also found time to be
PTA President and host as chair for many gala fundraising
events.
Patricia Simon, DDS
LAKEWOOD ORTHODONTICS
”How can we make you smile?”
As one of the only orthodontists in the country with formal training in
the treatment of skeletal discrepancies Dr. Simon is ahead of the game.
For every unique, one-of-a-kind face, there is an individual plan that takes
facial harmony into consideration. This type of advanced treatment is
what separates Dr. Simon from the rest. She continues to educate herself
and her team with the most innovative orthodontic technology and philosophies.
For example, she feels that the goals for early treatment of a child are
not merely to straighten the teeth, but to provide a healthy environment
and foundation for future dental development. Often, less is more, and
monitoring the developing child is all that is necessary. Because Dr. Simon
believes so strongly that each child deserves a healthy smile, there is
never a charge for observation visits, and parents are encouraged to call
with their concerns. Technology has also brought much advancement to
the field of orthodontics, in making treatment quicker, easier, and often
less noticeable than ever before. There are many options to help make
a perfect smile, and Dr. Simon lets you be a part of the process.
Along with cutting edge technology, at Lakewood Orthodontics,
Dr. Patricia A. Simon and her team are dedicated to bringing exceptional service and strive to exceed expectations. They provide
care that is uniquely personalized to fit every individual’s smile.
Lakewood Orthodontics’ small size and personal atmosphere
allows Dr. Simon to spend time with her patients explaining
treatment options, allowing parents and adult patients to be
partners in the orthodontic treatment plan. The environment is energetic, upbeat, and friendly.
Dr. Simon has practiced in the Lakewood area for ten
years, and is a consistent supporter of the Lakewood
community. She supports local schools and community events and is a member of the Lakewood Women
in Business. She also maintains a volunteer faculty
position at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Dr. Simon
is a certified provider of Invisalign and i-braces, and she is
board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, and a member
of the American Dental Association and the American Association of
Orthodontists.

WHITE ROCK NORTH SCHOOL
In 1992, Amy Adams brought her love of children and education degree
in School Administration from Baylor University to White Rock North
School. Her parents, Mary and John Adams, opened the school in 1964.
Amy spent her elementary years there, and then graduated from Lake
Highlands High School in 1987. When Amy returned to Lake Highlands,
she carried with her a unique philosophy of education which values the
importance of being a child. “I believe kids should work hard and play hard!
I’ve learned through teaching and raising my own children that there is
just as much to be gained from spending time as a family as there is doing
homework. It is possible to balance working hard for an education with
time to breathe.”

For some even the thought of visiting a Dentist can make them squirm. Dr. Ashly Cothern is well
aware of this fact and takes every measure to make her patients feel right at home. Whether that means
lending you an ipod and a blanket during your visit, or for the more anxious, a sedative if need be.
Dr. Cothern is also one of a small percentage of Dentists in Dallas who has invested in postgraduate training at the Pankey Institute. So if music, chair massages and pillows don’t put you at ease, her
extensive knowledge of dentistry will.
To create your beautiful smile, she’s skilled in both veneers and crowns. And whether you have a
single tooth that needs to be restored or your entire mouth needs reconstruction her office can help.
Tooth whitening is also available. It is one of the least invasive cosmetic procedures today, so you can
be in and out of the office in a few hours with the ZOOM! Whitening System.
Dr. Cothern is a big proponent of preventative dentistry. She advises that to maintain oral health,
regular appointments are key. She also offers non-surgical therapy to successfully treat many stages
of gum disease. If left untreated, gum disease has been linked to various other diseases. Fortunately,
early detection can prevent extensive treatment.
However, sometimes patients require additional treatment. Not to worry. She’s also an expert in
referring the best specialists in town. All in all, when it comes to healthy teeth and gums, rest assured,
Dr. Cothern has you covered.

Johnette, owner of Roundtree Landscaping, loves working with
plants and people. She received a degree in Landscape architecture in
1981 and started Roundtree Landscaping. Inc. in 1984. Her goal is to provide high-quality landscape services for the average homeowner.
She learned that many homeowners don’t know a lot about landscaping, so educating and building relationships became a driving force
behind her business.
Being a woman in a male dominated industry has its challenges,
but Johnette believes that she and her two managers, Berit Hutson and
Suzanne Ouren, bring a different perspective as well as creativity, innovation and attention to detail that is often overlooked.

Mica is the owner of Mica May Design, a boutique graphic design firm,
and she absolutely loves what she does.
She didn’t want to sacrifice her personality to have a successful
business, so while she maintains a professional front with clients, she is
having a blast behind closed doors. She downloads fonts on her coffee
break and obsesses over pantone colors.
On any given day, Mica might be working on a logo for a client, invitations for a non-profit, or an elegant coffee table book...
Her design inspiration comes from Edna in The Incredibles:
“I never look back, it distracts from the now.”
