Leominster, MA Drs and Health Practioners

Terry Anelons](http://gr.pn/HYgMq3) was on the home stretch of a race. His pace was strong and he only had a few miles to go. Then he felt it—the telltale pop and grinding sensation of a misaligned hip. Though Terry had to drop out of the race, his journey back to health led him to a prize more valuable than a finisher's medal: a rewarding career. Terry found his muse when he sought out chiropractic treatment for his injury. He was astonished by the noninvasive, drug-free treatment that got him back into racing shape. Leaving pharmacy work behind, he pursued a degree in chiropractic medicine, and opened Harvard Chiropractic in 1989.

Today, the doctor of chiropractic's services range from pain-alleviating massages to the traditional ailment-curing spinal realignments of a chiropractor. He strives to educate his clientele about the four aspects of spinal health, to help them care for their health and avoid the kind of injury he suffered. The doctor boasts special training in treating spinal subluxations from all causes, from car accidents to hula-hooping duels in the office break room.

Dr. Naz Tofigh—who has worked in private practice for more than 15 years—fuses style with science in her dental studio, Thirty-2 Advanced Dentistry. The office’s chic decor spans the wing chair–filled waiting room to the sleekly designed treatment areas. Her staff of specialists—an endodontist and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon—resolves complex maladies in-house, rather than outsourcing them to specialized practices or blaming toothaches on surly tongues.

The studio’s services, like its philosophy, combine aesthetics with solid know-how. Cosmetic dentistry treatments range from subtle, smile-straightening Invisalign retainers to whitening treatments. Dr. Tofigh also complements her offerings with other treatments, such as root canals and cleanings that liberate plaque from teeth.

Doctors and massage therapists join forces to address alignment issues, joint stiffness, and muscular tension all within the same visit to HealthSource Chiropractic & Progressive Rehab. Massage therapists correct muscular imbalances in shoulders and backs with hands licensed in therapeutic massage and shadow-puppet recital. Chiropractic consultations provide detailed assessments of the ailments behind each client's particular symptoms, as well as specific instructions for massage therapists and recommended courses of action. Specialists may also recommend supplemental forms of chiropractic care, including cold-laser therapy, nonsurgical spinal decompression, and patting oneself on the back. Nutritional and weight-loss counselors guide patients on the journey toward total health. Patients also get access to a gourmet coffee bar during visits.

After serving inner-city patients with the National Health Service Corps, Dr. Joseph Lee founded Wellesley Dental Associates and Southboro Dental Partners. While his friendly staff welcomes patients, doctors with degrees from Harvard and Tufts perform general and cosmetic procedures, such as dental implants, root canals, routine checkups, and tooth facials. Veneers cover rough toothscapes with a porcelain façade; invisible braces ensure that teeth step in line; and whitening services boost shine in-office, at home, or midmarathon. In addition to beautifying bites for a living, Dr. Lee has generously donated his services to patients in Honduras and Bolivia.

At Advanced Dental Group, Dr. David Moheban and Dr. Mansour Moheban call upon more than 55 years of combined dental experience to service all manner of mandible needs. The docs demonstrate their expertise by performing and overseeing services ranging from advanced periodontal procedures to teeth-whitening treatments. Taking pride in their work, the doctors pledge a one-year guarantee on all services in addition to offering interest-free financing for one year. During that period, the bookkeepers allow budgeting patients to either make payments or spend the year as the office mascot, Teethy the Toothpaste Tube.

The multilingual staff at Dental Technology Center and 64 Highland Dental nurture healthy smiles and strong bites. To ensure a pleasant experience for their patients, they fill their exam rooms with comfortable chairs, cable TV, and relaxing music, which set the stage for meticulous cleanings. During visits, staffers give the heave-ho to any tartar and plaque buildup, clearing the way for future generations of inevitable meal remnants. You'll leave with a smile bright enough to melt hearts, including your own, so be careful around mirrors.
