James M. Jack, D.D.S. He uses a new technology that combines a synchronized high powered dual wavelength infrared laser in a single beam
aimed directly at the origin of the pain, reducing and often eliminating the pain.
“I have seen patients with serious pain come into my office who sometimes after only one treatment, walk out pain-free,”
Pieter J. Linssen, D.D.S. Dr. Gates said. “The laser does not cure problems, but it can, in many cases, completely eliminate the painful effects of a
series of problems.”
Dr. Gates had heard many reports of great success with laser therapy but it was his own unfortunate injury that led him
to the eventual purchase of his laser. Dr. Gates had a torn meniscus in his knee that was so painful he could not stand on it.
After finally seeing the orthopedist he was finally scheduled for surgery in two months. With that amount of time to wait he

amassed to find 70 percent of the pain and swelling was gone! After a few more treatments he is back playing softball and

patients to have a much happier and more productive life” he said.
Available Laser therapy works well for a variety of conditions. Research has shown that serious injuries respond positively to this
kind of high-energy laser therapy.
• New & Emergency Conditions such as arthritis pain, joint pain, muscle pain, nerve pain and fibromyalgia respond positively to the laser
treatment. Even injuries brought on by sports , automobile accidents or work can be treated easily, comfortably and non-
Patients Welcome surgically with Dr. Gates’ laser therapy.
This particular laser’s uniquely combined wavelengths expand the therapeutic value of the
laser for the reduction of inflammation, pain and-to a degree-scar tissue.
An estimated 50 million Americans live with chronic pain caused by disease, disorder or
accident. The Food and Drug Administration recently cleared this new laser technology for
use on patients precisely because it was found to be effective, safe, economical and more
importantly, offers hope as well as results for millions of people.
Public demand for this revolutionary pain relief has made laser therapy a superstar in the
medical and therapy treatment profession because of the amazing results reported by
patients.
The benefits are easily cataloged. Most conditions start to show signs of improvements in
just a few visits. There are no harmful side effects like those associated with pain
medications or surgery. Laser therapy is a safe, pain-free treatment that takes only a few
minutes per visit. Dr. Gerry Gates

History
Placerville’s original name
was “Dry Diggins,” based on
the fact there was not a lot of
water to process the dirt for the
placer mining done by the first
miners here. Unfortunately
murders and robberies were
commonplace. With no organ-
ized justice system in place,
fate rested in the hands of the
people. Word spread like wild-
fire that people were being
hanged for robbery and mur-
der, leading to a three-year
period where the town was
nicknamed “Hangtown.” PHOTOS BY SHERI HITCHINGS • GRANITE BAY VIEW
