3D XRAY WITH IMPLANT PLACEMENT

I let my patients do the talking, I listen.

Best dental experience I’ve ever had. It is perfect for nervous patients. I’m happy to recommend this office to anyone.

I have had some less than stellar experiences with dentists in the past, so I was pretty apprehensive beginning my treatment with Dr. Lim. He was very friendly and informative, and during the treatment I didn’t feel a thing! No pain, no discomfort. What a relief! My fear of dentists is beginning to subside a little bit.

Very grateful to have such a great dentist. Dr Lim takes the time to answer your questions and personally follows up after you leave his office. When I had a dental emergency at night, he personally answered my call and made time for me the following morning. He also has a wonderful group of people working for him. Thank you Elena

Everyone, and I do mean everyone in the office is alert and professional. Dentists and Administrators and all assistants answer all your questions without hesitation. Dr. Lim has assembled a wonderful staff! I have referred another family already!

Doctor Lim is an excellent dentist who is an expert in his craft. He is a very gentle dentist which pleases me the most. Doctor Lim is also surrounded by a great staff. Love the humor and smiles of all the assistants which kept me calm….Thanks to you all… Alicia

“My Dentist office was amazing. Everyone is very nice. I have visited My Dentist for many years. Dr. Leong cleaned my teeth very gentle. She gave me several advice on how to keep my teeth healthy” - Tuong N.

“I absolutely love my dentist! She is very knowledgable and thorough with all her work, and she makes it known that every patient of hers is under good care. After my first visit for a routine cleaning I received a call from her staff and her personally to see how I was doing. After a couple of days I received a handwritten thank you card from Dr. Ho! For a busy dentist like herself to take time out of her day to write a thank you card for her patients says a lot now a days! Her staff is always friendly and helpful, most importantly I trust their honest good work on my teeth and overall health!!!“—Happy Patient

REVERSE MORTGAGE

Last year, Russell Doi helped me get a reverse mortgage. Working with him was comfortable and easy. I never felt pressured but always felt supported. My situation was a little complicated, but Russell was patient & made sure all the details and deadlines for the best rates were met. I’m also pleased that I can still contact Russell with questions or concerns as I move forward into my golden years.

Headaches are NOT normal. Back pain is NOT normal.

Numbness & tingling is NOT normal.

The human body can live five days without food and water, minutes without air, but without a nerve supply, life cannot exist. Nothing happens in your body without the involvement of the whole nervous system.

As a chiropractor I don’t treat the symptoms, rather I locate and correct the nerve interference which allows the body to do what it does best…heal itself. Chiropractic adjustments assist in the healing process by reestablishing the nerve flow to its optimal level. This allows the proper communication between the brain and the body.

Did you know a seven-year study showed that patients who saw a Chiropractor regularly experienced;

85% less pharmaceutical costs.

62% fewer surgeries

60% fewer hospital admissions

69% fewer days in a hospital

85% fewer outpatient procedures

STRAWBERRY MUFFINS

INGREDIENTS

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1 1/4 cups milk

2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

2 cups diced fresh strawberries

1 1/2 cups sugar

PREPARATION

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Place muffin tin with paper liner.

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Stir to be sure the ingredients are all combined. In a glass bowl , combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture, pour the wet mixture into it, stir until just combined. There will be some lumps but don’t overmix the batter! Add the strawberries and sugar. Stir gently to combine.

Spoon the batter into the muffin cups to fill the liner about half way up. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, test until a toothpick comes out clean and the tops are nicely browned.

You can also try with blueberries and blackberries.

TAKING STEPS TO PRIORITIZING SELF CARE

I“In the event there’s a change in cabin pressure, be sure to place your oxygen mask on first before assisting others,” said a flight attendant somewhere.

The reason for prioritizing your mask is because if you run out of oxygen first, you can’t help those depending on you.

For some folks, it’s easier to prioritize self care when there is a crisis, but what about the majority of the time when there is no crisis yet you yearn for (and need!) time to yourself; to decompress without concern for anybody else?

Days and weeks and blur past as you respond to seemingly endless demands from all directions of your life. You continuously dismiss your own needs and catch yourself saying “Once I get past next week’s ________, maybe I can set aside time to ________,” but next week comes and goes and you’re still burning the candle at both ends.

Even well intending and healthy minded folks find themselves run down when they serially dismiss their needs to serve others. To avoid eventual burnout (and possibly resentment towards ourselves for giving too much to others), we must work towards finding balance in our lives and learn how to value our needs as much as we do others.

If you struggle to prioritize your needs, you may be wondering how to get started.

Start with taking small steps.

It’s important to recognize that self care doesn’t look a certain way. It doesn’t necessitate emptying out your piggy bank for a lavish day at a spa, or staying at a 5-star resort. Self care is “the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health,” according to Oxford Dictionary.

It exists in innumerable forms and can be as simple as taking a stroll around the neighborhood, catching some sun at a park, practicing yoga or meditation, setting boundaries around screen time, catching up with a friend or indulging in a show of your choosing. Or, maybe it’s you gracefully declining an invitation and instead, savoring that time to yourself.

Not sure what you like to do?

Write down five to 10 activities that bring you joy. As you come up with these activities, sense what thoughts and feelings surface. Now challenge yourself to set aside time for one act of self care per day. If that is too much, try once per week. With each achievement, celebrate your efforts!

Simply bringing awareness to your needs is an act of self care and self love in itself and a step in the right direction. If you struggle with followthrough, consider hiring a skilled coach or a friend who is willing to serve as an accountability partner.
