WonderWorks Opens New Location In Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach, SC (PRWEB) April 9, 2011

WonderWorks, the much anticipated upside-down ?amusement park for the mind? at Myrtle Beach's Broadway at the Beach, is now open.

The first of its kind in the Carolinas, the 50,000-square-foot structure stands 10 stories tall and is filled with more than 100 exhibits for people of all ages. There are other locations in Orlando, Fla., Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and Panama City Beach, Fla.

All exhibits feature state-of-the-art graphic and audio presentation techniques to wow adults and children alike. These include the WonderWall, in which guests will be able to create a 3-D impression of their bodies by pressing onto a wall made of 40,000 plastic pins; a bed of nails, in which the sensation of 3,500 sharp nails will be felt; Design and Ride Roller Coasters, where everyone can put together their own roller coaster that moves 360 degrees in any direction; and Shuttle Landers, in which the first-hand challenge and skill needed to land the Discovery Space Shuttle will be experienced.

Coming soon to WonderWorks is an indoor/outdoor cafe, the 200-seat ?Works? eatery. It will serve up fun foods like pizza, sandwiches and salads. A full bar will be available to WonderWorks guests as well as anyone else visiting Broadway at the Beach.

WonderWorks is offering a variety of packages to fit a host of group types, sizes and budgets. WonderWorks can host birthday parties, educational programs, reunions and company retreats. There will be meal options available, along with private meeting space for up to 100 guests and an outdoor patio area. For additional group information, email group(at)wonderworksmb(dot)com.

In 2010, WonderWorks Management opened Soar & Explore at Broadway at the Beach, a family-friendly attraction that features two outdoor adventures: the Zipline Adventure and the Ropes Challenge Course.

The Zipline Adventure is the first and only zip line in the Myrtle Beach area and the only zipline over water along the East Coast. Safely secured within a harness, all adrenaline seekers have the ability to soar 50 feet above the 23 acres of Lake Broadway.

The ropes course, which is constructed of more than 3,000 ropes and cables, has a pirate theme and extends 40 feet into the air, stretching over three levels, and extending over Lake Broadway. It features 33 different challenge elements that require balance, dexterity and focus to conquer. Obstacles such as swinging steps, a tremor bridge, tightrope walk, and vertical and angle stairs are among the challenges. The Myrtle Beach WonderWorks location features a 3-story indoor ropes challenge course with 20 different obstacles and activities under black light.

Circulatory Centers Adds Board Certified Doctor to New Atlanta Georgia Location

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 02, 2011

Circulatory Centers, a premiere practice specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins, recently opened a new location in Atlanta, Georgia. This brings the total number of Circulatory Center offices to 23 in five states ? including Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Connecticut.

Dr. Lisa Perez will lead all treatments provided in Atlanta. Dr. Perez moved to Atlanta in 2000 and was born and raised in Staten Island, New York. She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and earned her medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. She completed her residency in Emergency Medicine at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina and she is Board Certified in Emergency Medicine as well as a member of the American College of Phlebology and North Fulton Chamber of Commerce.

The new Roswell location will provide treatment for large varicose veins and spider veins by offering non invasive, in-office procedures such as EVLA and sclerotherapy. Circulatory Center?s Registered Vascular Technicians perform duplex ultrasound studies on each patient in order to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. As such, Circulatory Centers has been awarded accreditation by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories.

?As a physician, I have been impressed with the care and quality of treatment that I observed in working with Circulatory Centers. Their standards relative to patient care were consistent with my approach to practicing medicine. Clearly, they are a leader in their field and I felt that this is a great fit for me both professionally and personally.? states Dr. Perez.

Circulatory Centers President David Gilpatrick is certain that the Atlanta team - under the leadership of Dr. Perez - will offer the same type of high quality patient care that has solidified Circulatory Centers as the leading provider of vein treatment in the Eastern United States over the past 30 years. ?Dr. Perez has built a team dedicated to patient satisfaction. As we continue to grow, it?s critical that we partner with practitioners who share the same vision of making every step of the patient experience ? from the first telephone call through the insurance process, treatment and follow-up ? extremely positive and beneficial.? Dr. Perez? entire Atlanta staff shares this philosophy.?

In 2010, Circulatory Centers providers performed over 30,000 procedures, a 29% increase over 2009. Their documented success rate in eradicating varicose veins has remained at 97% over the past three years and 95% of all treatments are covered by insurance.
