This was by far the worst dentist I have ever encountered. During my visit Kwon refused to respect my decision to decline medication. He repeatedly insisted that I allow him to nu...

APPARENTLY I needed 3 fillings and a tooth out, my wife 4 fillings. Same day we went to a differnet dentist and neither of us needed any work! 2/14/2007

BAD BAD BAD! BEWARE! As a new client to the practice I had xrays and an exam. The xrays harp back to 20yrs ago, painful, sharp and a really unpleasant experience. But the best is yet to come and perhaps the most important part. My wife was first and has film star teeth, all perfect, straight and perhaps the most wonderful smile you cnan imagine. She has never had one filling in her life. She has always has been to the dentist every 6months and always had cleaning performed. APPARENTLY she needed 4 fillings! Myself with not the straightest of teeth and a couple of fillings but has always been to the dentist every 6months and again always had cleaning performed. APPARENTLY I needed 3 fillings and possibly a tooth out! Now we both are very careful with our teeth, we brush and mouthwash etc a at least twice a day, usually 3times. No sweets or sugar and we had an exam only 4months ago but decided as we have just moved here to sign up as we have new insurance coverage with our new jobs. SO..... I was shocked. I went into a dentist near work and explained they said they'd have a quick look (5mins), but they could find nothing wrong with my teeth. I showed them the bill from the other dentists. He then said sat down and did a REAL exam, 30mins and all free....including some xrays of the so called problem teeth. He could find NOTHING wrong. No work needed doing. I had insurance and I will be contacting them about this right after I submit these comments. STAY away from this practice! As far away as you can get. Pros: Good at finding work thats doesn't need doing! Cons: might loose your teeth for no reason more

Amazing facial 1/25/2007

I had a facial with Carla early this week, it had been about 6 months since my last one and I was really needing some help. My skin had been breaking out and looking really dull despite my home regimen. The facial featured Dr Hauschka products, a line I had never really used before. Carla explained the products origin and the whole philosophy behind the brand ( biodynamic,organic, all natural, from Germany) and was kind enough to answer all my questions thoroughly and professionally. The products themselves felt good on my face and where fragrant without being overpowering, heavy,or greasy. Nice touches like heated booties and a warm water cushion helped keep me toasty warm and cozy while I got pampered. Carla soothed my feelings of self consciousness about my skin and showed me a few products that could help my more problematic areas. Rather than being pressured to invest in a whole new product line I was given a few samples to integrate into my daily ritual and encouraged to call back with any questions or concerns I might have. Its been four days since my facial and my skin is still clear and smooth. I would highly recommend seeing Carla and trying out the Hauschka product line- the lip stuff was pretty amazing on my chapped lips i'm defintly headed back for more of that stuff! Pros: natural products in a healthy atmosphere more

Spa that makes you say AHhhhhhhhhh. 12/14/2006

This place is amazing. I had a bicycle accident the day before and was in a serious state of discomfort. I had been roaming the city looking for any place that had a last mintute appointment on a Saturday afternoon. From the moment I entered there was a distinct difference between them and the other spas I had been hurriedly shuffled out of. I was warmly greeted, booked with an appointment on the spot and promptly offered a seat and hot tea in the retail lounge area. A few minutes later I was led to the" library " for some reading materials and offer some bach's flower remedy to help ease my discomfort.. My massage therapist Johanna was prompt, sweet, personable, and amazingly talented. The oils for my massage where custom blended and organic, tailored specifically for my needs. The massage stopped time. The enviornment is natural and cozy- the products are natural, and eco friendly, the approach is holistic, this is not your average spa machine, This is THE a place to have a quiet ritual and truly unwind. more

Ohhh, my face is still thanking me... 11/20/2006

Alright, my friends. I have horrible, horrible skin. I mean, giant-quarter sized breakouts that stayed on my face for a month or more. Back in July, I heard about Eviama through my therapist, and so I decided to try it out. I went and got a Dr. Hauschka corrective facial with Penny, who is clearly a supreme goddess of skin knowledge. I have always been fighting my skin, but Penny gently let me know that my skin knows best, and instead of fighting it, why not try working with it? SO after the facial, my skin started clearing up (with the help of the Dr. H cleansing cream, toner and rejuvenating mask). After one more corrective facial in August, my skin cleared up completely and has STAYED that way! YES! I feel way more confident about myself, I don't feel like I am always hiding behind my hands so people can't see my face. Of course, I still get a teeny, tiny little blemish every great once in a while (no one is perfect), but that's about the extent of my breakouts. My skin is glowy, happy and balanced. Hooray! I always have people asking me how I keep my skin looking so nice, and I can even go out (gasp!) without makeup and I look fine. THAT is ultimate freedom!!!! The atmosphere was calming, and the facial was really pleasant... even the extractions part wasn't so bad. I like that the salon is so eco-friendly, and that they take holistic healing so seriously. The price was well, well, worth it. Pros: Skilled staff, holistic, relaxing, very informative Cons: a little pricey, but worth it... more

Thank you Eviama for making my day so wonderful!! I will be back soon. I am also thrilled that you carry ALL of Dr. H products including the make-up, which is yummy!

Best Massage--Ananda! 10/17/2006

I did the "Live Simply, Live Long" spa package and was in total heaven! I had *THE BEST* 90 minute massage (they gladly accomodated my requested upgrade to the standard spa package). Ananda has the magic touch. I've tried several different massage therapists and she is truly the best. After my incredible massage, I had a wonderful facial from Carla who explained the process each step of the way. My skin felt great. And the final step in the process was a Reiki treatment from Joanne. It was such a treat. I never had a reiki treatment before, but I loved it. I went in very stressed and feel as though these treatments have given me the extra strength and inner calm to tackle some of the big issues in my life. It was truly a mind, body spirit experience and I will definitely go back. Highly recommended! more

Mixed Review. 8/22/2006

The facial was very good----especially with the Dr. Hauska products. I enjoyed it and the atmosphere of the spa was relaxing. However, I had also deceided to treat myself to the Neem scalp massage and I was very disappointed. The massage therapist seemed new and there was not much to it------especially at the price that was charged. I am not sure that I would try this spa again. Pros: very good facial, relaxing atmosphere Cons: scalp massage overpriced and not very good. more

incredible massage, exellent waxing and the Dr. H facials can not compare to any other facial out there!! 7/27/2006

I have had lots of massage work but nothing compares to the therapists at Eviama. Waxing is really relaxing, believe it or not. The products are the highest quality out there. If you are serious about massage, energy work, facials and waxing...this is the only place you need to go. Not to mention it is enviornmentally friendly and the fair trade boutique is a one stop place for personal gifts. Great jewlery and home gifts!! Pros: everything about it relaxing more
