MEET THE TEAM
DR. VIDA PUODZIUNAS, DC
FOUNDER
I have been working in healthcare for over 30 years and absolutely love what I do. I started out in sports medicine, working as an athletic trainer. I was the person that would run out onto the playing field when an athlete got injured. My job was to get them back to doing their sport as soon as possible. I worked closely with orthopedic doctors, physical therapists, and others to do so. After many years of working on the field, I decided to advance my studies. I got my Master’s Degree in Sports medicine from Illinois State University, followed by a doctorate in chiropractic medicine. I graduated from the National University of Health Sciences. After that, I immediately opened an integrative and regenerative physical medicine office in Illinois. After 20 years of doing regenerative medicine and natural pain management, I decided to leave the cold of Illinois and move to what I consider paradise, St. Petersburg, Florida.
My husband, Victor, and I opened Water’s Edge Medical Clinic. We were primarily focused on joint pain and neuropathy, and then we expanded into a medspa by adding weight loss, lipolight, hair restoration, facials, and liposuction. We also added new equipment, including the Elite IQ and Morpheus 8. Thus, giving us the ideal natural pain and regenerative medicine clinic and spa. We use no harsh drugs that cause side effects or problems. We focus on natural, homeopathic, and regenerative products that give long-term benefits and results. This allows the body to heal and regenerate naturally, thus improving your health inside and out. Our purpose is not only to get you feeling great but also looking years younger.
When not working in the clinic, you can find me spending time with my family, including my husband of 28 years and four children. I am a girl scout troop leader and love to empower young girls. I also have a passion for tennis. Having been a former collegiate and pro tennis player, I now share my love of the game, working as an assistant tennis coach for St. Petersburg Catholic high school. I also love running with my dog, taking long walks on the beach, fishing, and swimming in the ocean. I am also fluent in Lithuanian.
VICTOR PUODZIUNAS
CO-FOUNDER
Even though I’m not a doctor, I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 25 years, mainly working in the healthcare industry. I’ve started, owned, and operated multiple medical practices, large and small, and done everything in them except treat patients. My favorite part of healthcare is helping patients achieve their health goals by educating them, guiding them, and helping them get through any barriers that they encounter.
When I am not busy working in healthcare, I spend quality time with my family, including my four children. I love playing basketball, running, and fishing. I love the outdoors, so if you don’t see me in the office, I am probably out hiking.
