Recent graduation commencement ceremonies at A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Health Sciences (ATSU-ASHS) (where Dr. Lawrence Jaeger graduated over 20 years ago), took place at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Med at Still University Of Health Sciences.

Shingles: Treatment & More with Dr. Lawrence Jaeger
At least one million people will develop shingles each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Knowing the facts and speaking with a specialist like Dr. Lawrence Jaeger of Larchmont, New York can help you to know if you have shingles and to know how to deal with them.
Diagnostic tests for shingles could include skin scrapings to determine if the virus is, indeed, shingles, and blood tests. This is, of course, in addition to a physical exam by a certified health professional like Dr. Larry Jaeger.
Active symptoms with shingles usually last for three to five weeks. Your physician will design a treatment plan for you based on your age, overall health and medical history. It will also take into account the extent of your symptoms. Shingles has to run its course since there is no cure for the disease. The main treatments, rather, focus on pain relief. Such treatments will include painkillers and antiviral drugs to lessen the symptoms and minimize the nerve damage.
You may also be advised to take bed rest, to use calamine lotion or other topical agents, to use cool compresses, to take antiviral medications and to use steroids and anticonvulsants.

The Children’s Village has actually been working in some capacity since 1861. In 1927, they became the first residential treatment center in the country to create a psychiatric clinic on their campus. In the 20s, they also started the first national social work training school, which then became part of the New York School of Social Work.
The Children’s Village, with the help and dedication of people like Dr. Lawrence Jaeger, today operates a residential school on approximately 180 acres. They help families throughout the New York area.

Dr. Jaeger and Skin Tags
Residing in Larchmont, New York, Dr. Lawrence Jaeger is the medical director of Advanced Dermatology Associates, clinics which specialize in dermatological care. Among some of the many areas of concern patients present with in the clinic are skin tags.
Skin tags are a common occurrence which is associated with increased weight gain and having a genetic predisposition to developing them. They are generally harmless, and are as likely to occur in men as in women. Sometime a skin tag (acrochordon is the medical term) can fall off spontaneously, and it is possible to never have known that it was there in the first place.
The most frequent places for skin tags to develop are in the places of the body where skin rubs against skin. These places are commonly the lower neck, the armpits, under the breasts in women, and in the groin area. Skin tags are usually relatively small, flat pieces of skin which hang from a thin stalk, usually not more than 2-5mm in diameter, flesh colored or sometimes a bit more brownish.
If a skin tag becomes irritated or a patient finds them unsightly or in any way annoying, it is possible to have it/them removed by a dermatologist like Dr. Larry Jaeger, in his office or clinic. They can be removed either by freezing, tying off with thread or suture, or cutting.
