“We’re just hoping the community comes out to support this event and we’re asking the Lord to supply some good weather,” Bishop Scott said.
4th Citywide Revival
Doctors Want To Educate Community On Health Issues
BY IRIS B. HOLTON Sentinel City Editor
Oftentimes, people se- lect a primary physician and remain with that physician throughout the majority of their lives. However, that may not be the case with a dentist.
The reason is because most people don’t visit the dentist’s office as often as they should. However, one Tampa couple hopes to pro- vide both services simulta- neously.
Recently, Healthy Bodies Medical and Dental Center opened at 3415 Brook Crossing Dr., Brandon, 33511. The Center offers the convenience of having a medical doctor and licensed dentist in the same build- ing.
Dr. Martha Ducatel, a dentist, said, “Healthy Bod- ies Medical and Dental Cen- ter is a healthcare center with the purpose of optimiz- ing your body and smile. We
believe that your oral and physical state is important to your health, happiness, and family life.
“The health state of our community is a concern for us and we would like to em- power you! Let us add to your happiness by optimiz- ing your health,” she said.
Dr. Martha Ducatel,
DMD, is a native of Vero Beach. She graduated from the University of South Florida, where she obtained her undergraduate degree. She continued her educa- tion at Nova Southeastern University, College of Den- tal Medicine, where she earned her degree in Gen- eral Dentistry.
For the past 10 years, she has perfected her craft, by training in advanced den- tistry, including implant dentistry, sedation den- tistry, invisalign treatment, and cosmetic dentistry.
Dr. Watson Ducatel,
DO, MPH, FACIO, an Inter- nal Medicine Specialist said,
DR. WATSON AND DR. MARTHA DUCATEL
“We will be an excellent re- source for the community. We want to teach people about health matters and what to look for so they can take advantage of the re- sources that are out there. There are so many things
that people don’t know, such as the importance of oral health as compared to physical health.”
A Tampa native, Dr. Watson Ducatel gradu- ated from Chamberlain High School. He continued his education at the Univer- sity of South Florida and earned his medical degree from Nova Southeastern University College of Osteo- pathic Medicine.
He specialized in Inter- nal Medicine at the Largo Medical Center. He ob- tained his Master’s Degree in Public Health, which he is currently using to design and execute community health programs.
Dr. Watson Ducatel is board certified in Internal Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Os- teopathic Internists.
His practice ranges from providing medical attention to patients with simple medical needs to compli- cated illnesses that includes
diabetes, obesity, chronic obstructive lung disease, arthritis, high blood pres- sure, and other illnesses.
He is also trained in Os- teopathic Manipulative Medicine, which allows physicians to use their hands for diagnosing and treating disorders of the joints, spine, and muscles.
“Our goal is to educate the public, especially the African American commu- nity. It doesn’t matter what type of insurance a person has, or if he or she doesn’t have any insurance at all. We’ll still take care of them,” he said.
The couple knows that some may be reluctant to leave a doctor or dentist they have been with for sev- eral years. So, they leave the option open to the patient to use both services, or to select either.
Their goal is to help your body obtain maximal per- formance to improve your overall health.
