Dr. Heather Skeens, MD
- Labs, symptoms, sleep, and history read as one whole-body pattern
- What the eyes can reveal about oxygen and whole-body health
- The functional, systems-first lens, never a single number alone
An airway dentist and an eye surgeon read the same person, the same airway, the same oxygen, in one room. Not two opinions stapled together. One synthesis, one private next step.
Consults run online, or fly in to be seen. Read privately by both doctors, and you hear back either way.
Modern care is built in columns. The cardiologist owns the heart, the endocrinologist the hormones, the sleep lab the study. Each is right inside their column. The pattern running between them is what no one is paid to see.
"My labs are normal but I still feel off."
That sentence is not a failure of your doctors. It is a failure of the relay. A blood panel can read clean while your airway, your oxygen at night, and the way your jaw sits are quietly shaping how you feel, because no single specialist was ever looking at all of it at once.
Aligness removes the relay. One read, one line through the columns.
What changes is the room. Both doctors read the same person at once, free to talk across their fields, so an airway finding is weighed against a lab pattern in real time, not mailed to a colleague who never sees the rest of the file.
Together they review what every other specialist kept separate. You leave with one private next step, not twelve more to-dos.
Aligness integrates medicine, ophthalmology, airway health, sleep, and functional medicine into one coordinated strategy. Five reads converge into a roadmap, then a personalized next step, then the part most care skips: implementation.
You keep your own doctors. Aligness coordinates and complements the care you already have, it does not replace it.
Glossodontics® is the trademarked method Dr. Pastouk created and has presented to peers. It releases the tongue, then gives the airway, jaw, and face the room to redevelop their shape, so the body can breathe through its nose and run calm.
A release is only the beginning. Concept-level support like ozone in the site and nutritional IVs is built around the healing, because physiology does the repair. This does not replace sleep medicine. It adds the set of eyes that was missing.
"Why would I see a dentist for my sleep problem?"
Because the airway, the structure that carries every breath you take while you sleep, runs straight through the mouth and jaw. How that airway is built, how the jaw is positioned, and how the tongue sits at night are linked to how well you breathe and how well you actually rest.
The goal is nasal breathing and a jaw in balance, not a quick procedure that leaves the rest untouched.
An eye surgeon reads what the eyes reveal about the body, and an airway dentist measures how well it breathes. In one room, the eye and airway become two windows onto one question: how well are you getting oxygen over a lifetime?
Each doctor brings a full lens. The real Aligness moment is the overlap, the part no single office ever assembles, read in one unhurried conversation.
The integration of dental and ophthalmologic care under one roof exists precisely to catch what neither specialty sees alone.
This is the part no portal does.
No new specialist to chase, nothing started from scratch. You bring what you already have, both doctors read it as one picture, and the conversation happens with you in it, not in letters mailed between offices weeks apart.
There is no new specialist to chase and nothing to start from scratch. You bring what you already have, two doctors read it as one picture, and you leave with a single move worth making first.
Complete the short online request with what you already have — labs, symptoms, sleep and CPAP data, scans, and the history you have told a dozen times in five-minute pieces. Read privately by both doctors before anything is scheduled.
The eye surgeon and the creator of Glossodontics® read across everything at once, weighing each finding against the others, so they arrive already aligned on you.
Our team contacts you personally, confirms you’re a good fit, schedules your consultation, online or in person, and sends your secure intake paperwork.
Finish your secure intake forms, upload prior labs and imaging, and share any specialist reports before your visit, so the room starts with your whole picture already read.
Let two doctors read your whole picture, in one room, and tell you the one thing worth doing next. If it is not the right fit, we say so plainly and point you somewhere better.
