“More than half of adults are not happy with their smile.” says Dr. Thomas Lomonte, D.D.S. of Stafford. “Yet I hear people say all the time that they just can’t afford to fix their smile right now. I’m not sure where this concept of ‘fix it right now’ came from, but chances are whatever is going on with your teeth did not happen overnight...and you don’t have to fix it overnight either!”

“I always say that a few aches and pains remind you that you’re alive,” says local mom Vanessa Reed. But after Vanessa’s car was hit from behind in a fender bender, she started having sharp shooting pains down the back of her thighs. Walking from the car park to her lawyer’s office was agony. She says, “I didn’t get results from my regular doctor. Then in late October my lawyer recommended that I visit Dr. Steve Harris at Sugar Land Health Center...and I was ready to try anything!”

For years Kay and her husband both worked and took care of their house and yard in Quail Valley. She says, “When my husband passed away two years ago, I felt overwhelmed and I knew I needed help. About five months ago I read an article about Professional Maid Service and Sal Lucatero’s picture was there. I called him up the next day! He was lovely and answered all my questions. It was a relief to know Professional Maid Service is bonded and insured. I told him I’d like to have the same folks come every time if possible and he assured me they could usually do that, barring an unexpected illness. Working with a company and knowing that I could call Sal at any time gave me complete peace of mind. In fact, Sal told me, ‘If your team misses something, just let me know and they’ll come right back.’”

“While I was sitting at my desk, my feet would swell badly,” says Karen Bankert. “A co-worker told me his wife sought treatment for her varicose veins from a wonderful local Vascular Surgeon, Ulises Baltazar...so I made my first appointment with him about a year ago. I had already been to other doctors on and off, but none of them gave me an answer like Dr. Baltazar. He told me with a gentle smile, ‘I know you won’t want to hear this, but welcome...you’ll be a lifelong patient!’”

Happy customers have been calling Robin’s Organic Tea Leaves the “Detox Trio Booster.” Combining the Detox Trio with Organic Tea Leaves and a cleaner diet can give you feeling of a new you.
