Eustasis Psychiatric & Addiction Health

417-322-6622 | 3600 S. National Ave., Springfield

Eustasis Psychiatric & Addiction Health is pleased to announce construction of their brand new site in the heart of Medical Mile, opening in July! There is expanded access to medication management, psychotherapy, testing and advanced treatment options.

Dr. Alok Jain and his wife Breanna Jain started the clinic in 2018 with the mission of providing the highest quality psychiatric care to all patients. Since then they have put together an amazing team of board-certified providers and support staff who have tirelessly served the Springfield community.

“We wanted to build something really vital for our patients. A place that everyone could come, regardless of age or diagnosis,” says Dr. Jain.

Dr. Alok Jain has been honored as a 417 Top Doctor every year since 2007 and is 2020's top psychiatrist. He is a board-certified psychiatrist, member of the American Psychiatric Association and has an extensive background in consultation-liaison psychiatry and psychopharmacology.

Eustasis’s immediate-access site has provided patients with an unprecedented way to receive psychiatric care without delay. Their “walk-in and be seen” model is changing the face of psychiatry. The new location has eight providers and room for growth! They are providing the most state of the art modalities, including ADHD testing and esketamine.

“It is super exciting,” says Breanna Jain, CEO, PMHNP-BC. “We have patients who come in all hours of the day, pediatric or adult, all payor sources. They will ask, ‘You mean I can really be seen right now?’ We can proudly tell them of course! This is just the way we believe mental health should be done.”

Both Dr. Jain and Breanna know that people need options in this community. Patients’ struggles are numerous, ranging from addiction, bipolar, ADHD, trauma, anxiety and more. The Jains like to think of Eustasis as a one-stop-shop.

“There shouldn’t be high levels of bureaucracy. This is what overwhelms patients. Barriers have no place when it comes to mental health,” the Jains explain.

Eustasis is committed to helping patients find the optimal balance of emotions during these difficult times. They have expanded their hours and have both in person and telemedicine options available. They are always accepting new patients!

Treatment has also become personalized through the use of lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy, which allow surgery to be tailored for each specific case.

iTooth Family Dentistry

417-883-8515 | 3211 E. Battlefield Road, Suite 100, Springfield

They say that the eyes are windows to the soul. Did you know that the mouth can be a window to your overall health?

When you think of taking care of your teeth and gums, you are probably focused on preventing bad breath, pain or even losing your teeth. But most people don’t know that oral health goes much further than that. Gum disease is linked to a host of problems, including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Inflammation and infections in the mouth can allow bacteria to enter your bloodstream, which leads to problems in the heart and other parts of the body. Medical histories show that people with gum disease are twice as likely to die from a heart attack and three times as likely to have a stroke.

iTooth Family Dentistry encourages regular visits with Dr. Lance Robbins and his amazing team. Regular visits not only reduce cavities, they can also put a smile on your face and help you stay on your journey to a healthy, beautiful smile! iTooth provides an enjoyable, comfortable environment, along with health education to improve the overall health of the 417 community through value, convenience and a personal touch.
