Because that’s where Jack Holladay lives. What a cool name. Like a combination between Jack Slater (Professional Action Hero) and Doc Holliday (The Famous Dentist).

But it takes more than a name to justify crossing into sovereign Texas soil! If only there was some kind of list… oh, here it is:

• Jack Holladay, MD is a surgeon. Lasik surgeon.

• He is an engineer.
• He is a physician.
• He is a teacher to other surgeons.
• He has written books on eye surgery.
• He has been published many, many times in medical journals.
• He was the president of various ophthalmology organizations.
• He advises the manufacturers of certain medical devices.
• He has won various honors and awards.
• He is certified by USAEyes, a nonprofit Lasik patient advocacy group.
• He was “acknowledged in 2002-2003 as one of the ‘Best Doctors in America.’”
• Inside Houston Magazine recognized him as one of the “Top Doctors In Houston.”

In Houston, he’s in the top. In America, he’s among the best. With Lasik, he’s a pro. It’s all good! So if you want Lasik, you could go with some Dr. Nick, or you could go to Texas.

Ever since I saw actors on TV with blue-white teeth, I’ve always wanted that. We all tend to fall on the yellow side of white where our teeth are concerned. But somehow, some way, these actors were able to get their teach to completely jump over "pure white" to land on the bluish side. Crazy. Glow-in-the-dark teeth! Some people make fun. But I really like how clean bright white teeth look.

It’s amazing how far dental technology has come. There’s a guy in Beverly Hills who uses all the latest techniques, like mini cameras, digital x-rays, and painless air drills. His name is Dr. Maddahi. Not only does he provide Beverly Hills tooth whitening services, he can also craft porcelain veneers for you, and even dental implants!

I visited the guy’s site, and he’s got a few pictures of before and after like any normal dental office. But the images of where he works…It’s amazing! It looks so luxurious. I guess the Beverly Hills residents demand high society surroundings, even at the dentist!
