"I participated in the cleanse Groton Wellness prepared and it was a phenomenal experience. Linda, Josh, and the team provided education, guidance, resources, and support that made this a terrific experience. This program opened my perspective to embrace a healthy way of eating that I have adopted and incorporated into my life. I plan on continuing this way of eating long after the cleanse is completed. I am already looking forward to participating in the Level 2 cleanse! Thank you Groton Wellness!

"I am a chronic migraine sufferer. Over the course of 5 months I had more days with pain, than not. I had tried every Big Pharma out there, with little to no relief, but had the side effects weight gain, dry mouth etc. Then, I met Dr. Lloyd, he spent a lot of time with me asking questions and just talking to me. He put together a treatment plan that was simple, with vitamins, herbs, some diet changes. I will admit I was skeptical , three days after starting Dr. Lloyd treatment plan, the migraine broke, and the pain was gone."

— H. Barry

"Thank you for everything you have done, I am very glad that you wanted me to do it and you showed me that I could. You made me feel much more confident about the whole situation. And you (know) what? It wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be! Also thank you for repeatedly trying to make it a comfortable experience for me. Your efforts meant a lot to me…"

— Maija from Sunderland, MA

"Thank you so much for your kindness to me during my extractions. You squeezed me into an appointment in a tight schedule and I think you made my 20 day trip to the Galapagos possible. I don't think I could have gone in I hadn't had the procedures."

— Gaye K., Boxford, MA

"The Groton Dental Wellness Spa is outstanding, it is very relaxing and it is a joy to go there for 'dentistry'. They don't recommend unnecessary services there. We will be using them in the future."

— Joan and Charles M. from Angie's List

"They have a full range of services from dental to massages and facials. They are spectacular for my husband and my own needs."

— Christine H. from Angie's List

"This is the first place that's given me a mouth guard that I could actually sleep in – placing it on the bottom as opposed to the top like other dentists. The staff is considerate and attentive. The atmosphere is truly spa-like. Though it is not on my insurance providers list of providers, the dentist office submits the claims for me in a timely (manner). I received a reimbursement check within just a couple of weeks."

— Sorrel S. from Angie's List

"I love (GW). It was so refreshing to finally find a dentist with a holistic approach to dental medicine. They are the only dentists I've found in Massachusetts who do not use metal fillings! They also use rubber dams for cavities and are EXTREMELY stringent about being clean. The office is very soothing, and the front desk ladies are extremely professional and smart. For a top-quality, professional, highly hygienic, gentle, healthy please to have your dental needs taken care of, visit Groton Dental Wellness Spa – it's worth the trip."

— Rahul S. from Angie's List

"-(Dr. Evans) is my dentist. He has done a lot of work for me. The partial plates he made and adjusted are of superior quality. I have never had any workmanship like this before. His work is detailed and completed with such professionalism."

— Betty H. from Angie's List

"We like (Groton Wellness) a lot…we love the doctors and service…The office environment is beautiful."

— Christine H. from Angie's List

"This is a family-run operation with specialized dental & medical staff. My wife and I have been patients of their since 2000. They offer a wide range of services… They have a unique facility: it's specifically designed for comfort and relaxation. It's the finest ambience for a medical facility that I've ever seen. They also have a holistic foods bistro and other holistic products and services. It's a genuinely caring operation. Overall, both my wife and I are very happy with their services".

— Joan and Charles M. from Angie's List

"There was no waiting once I arrived at the office, Dr Nordin's assistant offered me hot neck wraps and both of them checked frequently to make sure I was comfortable and relaxed. Replacing the six fillings took approximately five to six hours, which including fitting a temporary crown on one tooth. However, thanks to oral sedation I had no awareness of the time, and the entire experience was great. I'll continue using the practice and feel it's well-worth the hour drive each way".

— Ellen T. from Angie's List

"I had all of my mercury fillings removed and my jaw realigned. It was extremely excellent. I found them on the internet, so I had no idea what to expect. The office is lovely and nicely appointed. The staff is very nice and warm. I have had nothing but excellent experiences with everyone there. The physical results have been nothing but outstanding and my doctor has done a very good job."

— Catherine C. from Angie's List

"I love the Groton Wellness Spa. It is a wonderful experience from the time you walk in the door to the time you leave. I happily drove 45 minutes to get here because the quality, care, and atmosphere (are) so wonderful. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the Boston area, as I feel the (GW) is the most clean, innovative, whole-health approach to dentistry around. The front desk ladies are absolutely wonderful as well. I feel very confident going here, and I am glad I found it!"

— Rahul S. from Angie's List

"I really fully support all of Dr. Robert Luby's work down at the Groton Clinic. I think they do excellent work there."

"I am really interested in going to the Groton dental clinic. They seem to be the best in the NE area with regard to safely removing dental amalgams…"

"In the course of my own health awareness journey, I became aware of the Dr. Hal Huggins via Amy Lange, a Youngevity associate and a great friend. Having some dead teeth (re: root canals) and amalgam fillings still in my mouth, common sense, if nothing else, prompted me to find a dental practice that followed the essence of the Huggins protocols. Am I glad I did! Dr. Bob Evans is, hands down, the best and most compassionate medical practitioner I have ever encountered in my life (I am 52), and the whole staff at Groton Wellness is first rate. I had to travel five hours and stay in a hotel for a couple of nights to make this visit (Apr 2011) happen, but it was worth every bit of expense and effort. My only complaint - the practice is too far away from where I live (Brooklyn, NY). If you are ready to get off the mainstream treadmill and go with a progressive, non-toxic approach, I could not recommend Dr. Evans and Groton Wellness enough."

— Thank you, John Nevin, Brooklyn, NY

"My first time experience at Groton Wellness with Dr. Jean Nordin-Evans and her staff was Fantastic! It was very relaxing (warm neck roll, bottle of water, my choice of music), it was professional and not “rushed” (Dr. Nordin-Evans took the time to explain my options using charts to show me what was going to happen. She spoke intelligently but on laymen terms so I could follow along.). Her team was very efficient and well practiced. During the procedure everything flowed quickly and smoothly. You could tell they had done this before and many times over. After wards, we discussed my post-procedure care, follow-up and any concerns I had. The overall experience was Fantastic. I Highly recommend this dental office. I drove from Holliston to Groton (about an hour) to get the fine quality care found here!

Things I liked the best about my experience at Groton Wellness was the painless technique Dr. Nordin-Evans has for applying Novocaine. The holistic alternatives available to me here. The level of comfort and the way I was made to feel important by the staff. The totally professional and efficient way the whole procedure was run. Thank you Dr. Nordin-Evans for a wonderful dental experience – and for fixing my dental problem in a holistic way I was comfortable with."

— Liliane S., Massachusetts – February 4, 2011

"Dr. Evans,
I wanted to thank you for giving me my life back (I know that sounds extreme, but the pain was extreme). Your kind, gentle, caring, and compassionate manner just made the experience wonderful. Your staff made me sooooo comfortable, please thank them. Thank you for calling and checking on me. Things are going great, healing well, and I attribute that to you and your staff. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

— Michelle D., Massachusetts - February 5, 2011

I would like to highly commend Wendy Walter specifically for her professional, outgoing manner toward me at Groton Wellness. I had approached the first of three colon hydrotherapy appointments with some apprehension, having had negative experience in other situations, such as rehab and x-ray rooms.

As an older, physically challenged individual, with me, Wendy was highly instructive, proficient and charmingly pleasant, even while conducting her “humble” services. During the first session, she barely left my side, encouraging and conversing with me. In another, she gave me a lengthy massage (properly done) to ensure my continued comfort.

I wish to share my appreciation for Wendy with you. On your scale of service evaluation, I would give Wendy a strong 10, an A Plus. I expect to be making return visits to Groton Wellness.

Sincerely,
— Rita B.

"After over five decades of a dental history that had been both trauma producing and included some poor quality dental work, enter Dr. Bob Evans. Going to the dentist is now something I look forward to as I can anticipate competent, user-friendly, and supportive care. Dr. Evans gives clear explanations, painless injections, and has a calm and caring manner. His knowledge of, understanding, and compassion for patients with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) related to dental work is remarkable.

My friends can’t believe this turn around in my attitude of going to the dentist from one of dread to one of excitement, especially as it involves a two and a half hour drive each way.

An added treat to my visits - I call ahead to the bistro and Karen makes the best rice pudding - not too sweet, soft texture, and very yummy. The entire staff is awesome and Giesele, the office manager, has been helpful in so many ways."

— Forest, western Massachusetts

Hi Dr. Shutts,
I wanted to write and thank you for doing such a fabulous job on my teeth. I am so appreciative of your attention to detail and the way that you make sure my crowns are perfect before I walk out the door. You've also done a great job with the limited novacaine and working quickly. I know I'm providing some challenging parameters and want you to know that your efforts don't go unoticed.

By the way, my mouth feels great today. By far the quickest recovery yet.

Thanks again Dr. Shutts and take care,
— Theresa L.

Dear Drs. Carney, Evans and Nordin,
I had treatment for ovarian cancer 16 years ago. Following successful conventional treatment, I have explored many alternative therapies, ranging from acupuncture to massage and orthomolecular medicine to yoga. About ten years ago I became interested in holistic dentistry and learned about mercury toxicity. My husband and I decided then it was important to “invest” in my future by having Dr. Evans remove all the mercury amalgam fillings I had had since the age of 17. Combined with changes in diet and nutrition and other paths to health and healing, I believe this has contributed to the many years I have enjoyed, treatment- and cancer-free. I am impressed with the programs you are offering through the Wellness Center and the Dental Spa. Congratulations on all you are doing to promote holistic health and healing!

I wanted to add, since I have been coming to see Dr. Carney almost bi-weekly for more than a year and it takes an hour for me to get to your office, that once I figured out that on Route 119 I could get food and household supplies I really began to look forward to the visits: The Natural Market in Groton Center, Spring Brook Farm in Littleton (www.springbrookfarmcountry.com), Trader Joe’s and Shaw’s in Acton. And having the Bistro open in the Wellness Center is the best! I appreciate the gluten-free items, great coffee, and excellent selection.

Sincerely,

— Carolyn E., Weston, Massachusetts - February 17, 2010

Dear Dr. Evans,
In May 2009, you changed my life! On that date you performed cavitation surgery in a location of a previously extracted tooth, (#3), along with the extraction of a tooth that had a root canal some years ago (#4). For approximately 20 years, I have been relentlessly trying to find the cause of my facial pain. I now finally know, with your help, along with the staff at The Groton Dental Wellness Spa, the source of my problem.

My history, I think, is typical of someone suffering from facial pain caused by cavitations. I had, what started as a discomfort on the right side of my face, then progressed to pain that went up to my right eye, through my cheek and sinus area, down my neck and into my right shoulder.

After over-the-counter pain medications no longer worked, I started to visit various doctor’s offices, looking for a cure, or at least, relief. The list of treatments I received included acupuncture, lymph node drainage therapy, physical therapy, pain management therapy, and chiropractic manipulation.

The procedures I had included sinus surgery, a root canal, and the removal of all of my mercury fillings. I also saw a neurologist who suggested I have a MRI. I was given pain medication, nerve medication and muscle relaxers. Still, after all of this, I continued to suffer constant facial pain.

After researching the effects of bone cavitations, I presented my case to you, and within weeks, you along with Dr. Lashner, preformed my surgery. Now, three months later, I am feeling so much better! As you know, my pathology report showed a bone infection and chronic inflammatory cells that would have probably made my condition even worse as time went on. I feel things can only improve from here.

I thank you tremendously for your surgical skill and dedication to the holistic approach to dentistry. You made a huge, positive difference in my life.

Sincerely,

— J. Bloss, Bolton, MA - September 4, 2009

"You really went above and beyond anything I could have imagined… When I had the allergy testing, I felt I was in good hands, that the practice was thorough in learning about the needs of the patient."

— Gaye K., Boxford, MA

Hi There,
I thought Dr. Luby’s presentation was excellent – thorough, thought provoking and clear. I learned several new things and was glad I attended and will refer others to his lecture.

Also, I have been telling everyone of my experience with the Vit C IV. For at least three days afterward it felt like I had liquid sunshine running through my veins. Not only did I feel happy and elevated, I felt an internal strength and I my focus was greatly improved. I even had powerful dreams the first two nights. Millie told me to try to take it easy the next day so that my body could use the Vitamin C to do internal repair work, which I mostly did do except I had a training session with my personal weight trainer the next morning. About a 1/2 hour into our training session, my trainer asked what was going on with me. I told him about the Vit C IV and now he is signing up to try it. The thing I can't get over is how strong it made me feel and how many levels (emotionally, physically, spiritually) it allowed for that feeling of strength.

My experience may be partly due to how sensitive I am in taking in new essences and, I believe, it may also be due to how very much my body craved and needed the Vitamin C. I have been off sugar since I was 16 years old and rarely eat fruit because I react to the sugar in it. Not to neutralize my positive experience of this treatment but to help explain it to myself a bit, as another woman who got the same treatment the same evening told me she didn't feel anything the next day. Here I am feeling like I could lift a building and she didn't feel anything! So that was interesting to me. I conclude my body really needs it.

Please use any of my words to encourage others to try this. I can't say enough good things about it. It's been 8 days since my IV and I know I have shared my experience with more that 8 people already.

My trainer asked, "Do you think we could get them to open a satellite office here in Lexington?" I laughed and then wished we could. :)

Best Wishes,

— J. Matheson, www.lotusflowerliving.com, June 17, 2009

Dear Dr. Nordin-Evans,
Thank you very much for the help you have given me with my teeth over the past 6 months. I am happy to attest to the excellent care I have received from you to date. To sum it up:

• I always feel like Dr. Nordin-Evans has my health and best interest in mind when taking care of my teeth and recommending treatment options
• I always feel well taken care of by Dr. Nordin-Evans
• Dr. Nordin-Evans is amazingly skilled: she numbed my mouth and I never even felt the needle - the whole process has always been completely painless!
• I was so pleased that Dr. Nordin-Evans was able to save my tooth and avoid an unnecessary root canal (a procedure I was assured was necessary by another professional)
• I drive over an hour to see Dr. Nordin-Evans, because the care is so great and I am treated with respect.

— G. Silverman, Boston

"Health is my bottom line. This is why I choose to go to Groton Wellness. I'm grateful for the dentists who not only remove harmful mercury, but more importantly, replace it with the purest materials that are compatible for my biological system. I have confidence that whatever is going into my mouth is going to help me.  To top it all off, the splint that was made for me has helped me to sleep better at night. Due to the dental treatment I have received, my health has improved. Thank you to the dentists and staff at Groton Wellness.”

— O. Harris, Acton

“I have really enjoyed my experiences at Groton Wellness Dental Spa. I love the atmosphere, which is warm and inviting, and the friendly staff. I especially enjoy (as much as anyone can!) having my teeth cleaned by Heidi. She is always in a good mood, patient, and gentle. You can really tell she enjoys her job and working with people.”

— Kate C., Littleton, Massachusetts

“After having some dental work done by my dentist in my home state of Michigan, I became acutely mercury poisoned. It was recommended by those who have had similar experiences to have my amalgams safely removed. I learned about Groton Wellness Dental Spa.”

“Dr. Carney and Dr. Evans were phenomenal. Within days of having all of my mercury removed and two teeth extracted my health began to improve. Thanks to the doctors, their superb work and passion for helping others to be healed I am back to full health!”

“Groton Wellness Dental Spa is by far unlike any other dentists I've ever experienced. My family and I will forever be grateful to them and their wonderful staff.”

— Karla R., Hancock, Michigan

“Excellent quality dental work, state-of-the-art equipment and facility, kind and caring staff members, well worth the drive.”

— Ellen B., Boothbay, Maine

“Two years ago I was barely able to function [and] was too sick to work. I couldn't eat anything without major discomfort, I suffered from tremendous anxiety and I couldn't sleep. A friend suggested I see Dr. Bob Evans and think about having my mercury fillings replaced. I saw Dr. Evans and he helped me with that but did so much more. This amazing man figured out right away what was wrong with me - an overgrowth of candida yeast.

“I had heard the word before but never knew what it meant and no one else had ever suggested this to me. I went home, did some research and knew I had found the cause of all my problems and more important - I could now work on getting myself healed.

“It took some time but I am now a very healthy, happy person and I can eat whatever I like. My healing process involved a multi-faceted approach. The first step was getting my mercury fillings replaced and having a root canal tooth pulled at Groton Wellness Dental Spa. Prior to having this work done, I was very anxious and thought the process would be a huge ordeal. But Dr. Evans was extremely kind, compassionate and gentle and before I knew it, I was all done. Next, I went on a special diet to combat the candida and was treated with classical homeopathy to get back in balance.

“I am so grateful to Dr. Evans for helping me get my life back. I am enjoying life now and working as a classical homeopath to help others get healthy and balanced.”

“Since the mercury was removed from my crown I sleep 8 hours a night instead of the 7 hours I've been sleeping for the past 30 years.”

— Marilyn R., Nashua, New Hampshire

“You guys are OUTSTANDING! Coming to your facility has been the most positive dental experience I've ever had, no kidding. Everyone at the Spa makes clients feel special, and I think it is important to feel special once in a while.

“Dr. Carney is great. I felt very relaxed and comfortable from the very first time that I met him. He is a down to earth guy and has a great sense of humor. And his dental assistant is a sweetheart, very caring and considerate. And the dental hygienist is the best.

”I could go on and on, but would eventually get boring. Overall, the staff is very professional and attentive and my experience has been wonderful. Wouldn't go anywhere else.”

— Marilyn S., Lowell, Massachusetts

“…All care was patient-centered. You were always concerned about my comfort. I never felt rushed, whether I needed a drink of water, or needed to use a bathroom. You may take these things for granted, but having been to other dentists, I can tell you that your approach isunique.”

— Claudia P., Leverett, Massachusetts

“I don’t remember the last time I received any dental work that resulted in NO residual effect. Literally none, except good.

“During the cleaning Heidi removed some residual cement that had been used for the braces I once had. Those braces were removed over 15 years ago! I’ve had my teeth cleaned at least twice per year since then by several different offices and either no one found the cement or cared enough to remove it. Since that cleaning I keep running my tongue along my teeth in amazement of how smooth they are.

“The entire amalgam removal procedure progressed exactly as Dr. Carney instructed, with Jessica leading most instructions before they were even given. The procedure was quick and accurate. Throughout the entire procedure Dr. Carney kept me fully informed with highlights of what was just done and what he was going to do next. All of my expectations from the consultary visit with Dr. Carney were met. My teeth do not even feel like anything invasive was done, it simply feels like I woke up with new teeth.

“Once I learned about the detrimental side effects of mercury amalgams I decided that I needed to have this addressed. It took me 2 years to find and choose a dental office that I can trust and feel comfortable with to handle such an important health issue. After my experience I know for certain that I have found it.

I greatly appreciate your professionalism and proficient application of your knowledge. I am looking forward to having the remaining amalgam work done and to the future relationship I can have with the Groton Wellness Dental Spa. I already have several people in mind to recommend your office to.”

— Frank A., Manchester, New Hampshire

“Your staff is wonderful. I am looking forward to getting the splint and hopefully a more mobile jaw.”

— Judee D., North Haverhill, New Hampshire

“Dr. Nordin:  Hi!  I just want to thank so much you for the call you made to me Sunday, March 29.  I was asleep when you called - I didn't even hear the phone.  ... I feel I'm doing well.  The ride home, on the 27th, was uneventful.  The bleeding stopped fairly quickly.  Found it hard to drink anything for a few hours but that was ok.  Slept a lot on Saturday.  Felt exhausted but I had expected that. I did Reiki on the area so I really didn't need much at all for pain and the wound seems to be good - no tenderness, etc. I'm glad I chose the sedation.  It really lowered my anxiety.  You had said you wanted me in a place "where I didn't care" and I got there.  You're right about the amnesic aspect.  There are some things I remember and some I don't for the most part.  I do remember your coming in and saying "I'm really glad you're here".  Thank you for that too.  Please thank the whole dental team that provided service/care for me - I'm really grateful for the quality of care given to me.”

— Sue C.
