Amy van Gent, M.D.

Is a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon and is Medical Director of Gentisse Cosmetic Surgery. She received her medical degree from Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine in 1989 and has been in private practice since 1997, specializing in cosmetic surgery of the face and neck. Long interested in wellness and disease prevention, she has expanded her practice to include Preventive-Aging Medicine. Many of her patients are concerned about both inner and outer health and vitality, and she has found that the two fields complement each other very well.

Dr. van Gent has been exercising and doing weight resistance training since her early twenties. She competed in gymnastics in junior high school and had extensive training in ballet and jazz dance during her teens. In recent years, she practices yoga and continues to exercise with cardio activities and weights. She is knowledgeable about diet and nutritional supplementation, physiology, hormones and endocrinology, and stress reduction techniques, all of which are essential parts of preventive-aging.

Willy van Gent, A.R.N.P.

Is a nurse anesthetist and nurse practitioner who obtained his initial R.N. degree in 1992. His interest in physical fitness began with competitive swimming as a child in Holland. At age 15, he became intensely active in body-building and went on to compete in “natural” (drug-free) contests. His interests in fitness expanded in 1985 after he moved to the U.S., when he became a certified aerobics and spinning instructor. He has competed in the YMCA Masters Nationals in swimming and has raced in many triathlons. In the last three years, he has focused on competitive cycling and is Team Captain for G2 Health Cycling.

While working as an anesthetist in the hospital, Willy realized that many of the surgeries and illnesses he encountered every day could have been prevented. He became frustrated about people’s general lack of knowledge about wellness and healthy lifestyles, so he became a certified Wellness Coach in 2008 in order to directly help people reach their health goals.

The Team:

Appropriately enough, Dr. Amy and Willy met at the gym in 2002, where Willy was teaching Amy’s favorite spinning class! They continue their interests in health and fitness together through their team approach to Preventive-Aging at G2 Health.
