Dr. Laurusonis was conferred his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1983 and has been actively taking care of patients since completing his Internal Medicine residency in 1987 in the Garden State of New Jersey. Dr. Laurusonis has been licensed in four states but ultimately chose to permanently relocate to Georgia with his family and begin a private practice. Through his extensive experience in Internal Medicine, as well as in Emergency Rooms throughout the United States, Dr. Laurusonis saw how traditional Emergency Rooms were often overwhelmed by patients suffering medical conditions that were urgent but may not need the traditional “Level I Trauma Center”. Patients often waited six to twelve hours to be seen by a physician, were riddled with thousands of dollars in medical bills, and were generally unhappy with the system.
Dr. Laurusonis decided to open an Urgent Care Center instead of a 9-5 doctor's office. Through the last fifteen years he has received accolades from the community and his patients. He has expanded his practice to include many cosmetic therapies that have previously been treated with painful and extensive plastic surgery. He has been invited to the White House numerous times, has been named Physician of the Year, as seen in the Wall Street Journal, and has served as Honorary Co-Chairman on the Congressional Physicians Advisory Board
Dr. Laurusonis and his practice, Doctors Medical Center, is open 7 days a week from 7:30 am to 9:30 pm offering such services as lab, x-ray, EKGs, aesthetics (Botox, dermabrasion, sclerotheraby and veins etc.), cold/flu, sore throats, fractures, sprains, lacerations, GYN, Pediatrics, Anxiety/Insomnia/Depression Treatment, skin tag/mole removal, veins, allergies, asthma, physicals--just to name a few. Dr. Laurusonis welcomes you to either make an appointment or just walk-in to see him. Dr. Laurusonis will take the time to speak with you about your concerns--no problem is too big or too small. If you need additional services we have specialist referrals available or we can refer you to the neighborhood hospital emergency room. Give Doctors Medical Center a call--Dr. Laurusonis will be happy to speak with you.

The female reproductive tract is a complex and intricate system. It must stay balanced in order to remain healthy. When the vaginal, ovarian, uterine, and hormonal aspects work to "factory standards" the female tract is a self sustaining, self cleaning, and self regulating milieu that demand nothing more from the patient other than general external hygiene.
The media has bombarded us with commercials for PDE-5 Inhibitorswhich treat male sexual dysfunction, specifically, erectional dysfunction, or "E.D." In the United States almost four out of ten men over the age of 57 experience some degree of E.D. The results with the "blue pill" have been favorable, and men are starting to initiate talks with their physicians about these matters
When your ear produces excessive earwax (cerumen), it may block the external ear canal; this is what doctors refer to as a "cerumen impaction". Wax is produced by glands in the external ear canal to protect the canal leading from the eardrum to the outside. The amount of wax varies vary from person to person.
The eye is made up of various layers that surround and keep in place the fluid within the eyeball and various elements serve to protect the intricate cells that detect and transmit light and images to the brain for processing.
The teeth gums and the circulatory system to the teeth and gums are an extremely important part of our health. The circulatory system brings arterial blood into the central base of the jaw. Branches of the arteries puncture the tips of the teeth at the roots and go up into the central area of the crown of the tooth and form a large ball plexus of blood vessels deep in the crown of the tooth and these arteries supply nutrients to the tooth to grow and continue healthy
Pain medications come in different forms and have been used for thousands of years. The most common methods of relieving pain today are by taking a pill, patch, injection, or through intravenous access. All of these methods significantly reduce or remove pain from the body.
Your brain sends signals down to the nerves to make the muscles react. At the very end of the nerve, acetylcholine is stored, which when stimulated by an electrical impulse down the nerve, releases the acetylcholine on the target; the muscle then contracts. Botox damages by direct contact to the tips of the nerve so they no longer permanently release the stimulator to contract the muscle.
Remember, a grape and a raisin are exactly the same thing-- a raisin has just lost volume. With age, most faces lose fat and fluid volume which is why the skin appears thinner and wrinkles occur.
Intra (inside) Luminal (hole inside the structure) Venous (vein) Laser therapy is a procedure that uses a highly focused beam of light at a particular wave length with all the energy going in the same direction. The purpose of directing this light is to focus the energy on the vessel and obliterate (destroy) it.
Veins usually generally follow patterns but they can also often do as they wish. Arteries rigidly follow these patterns much more. In treating veins, the physician should carefully inspect the problematic area, often with an ultrasound or the use of light penetration to see which veins are going to accurately solve your problem.
