   Hi All. Well what can I say; it’s been six months since I had your treatment and I wanted to let you know how I’m doing. I had Trigeminal neuralgia for 6 years, I tried different medication, therapies to try and ease the excruciating pain and you were my last hope! After having surgery, Amalgam removal and the bio photon treatment you recommended, all my pain has gone away and hasn’t returned. I’m so very grateful to you all. I would like to book a check-up appointment with you. kind regards Ian Griffin

   Finding Dr Elmar Jung's practice was nothing short of a godsend; they are doing some truly amazing work, and I cannot recommend them enough. Since my teenage years, I had been struggling with my teeth. They were so fragile that even brushing them would cause breakages, and I had been living with chronic pain, living off of painkillers and unable to lead a normal life for about a year before we found Dr Elmar Jung's practice. The pain was so bad I couldn't cope. My body would shut down and take any chance it could to put itself to sleep. My mother and I had been desperately trying to find a dental practice that would treat me for a long time, but every practice wanted to pull nearly all of my teeth and do root canals for each one. Even the healthy ones. They mistreated us and called me a liar when I expressed that I hadn't been eating sugars and such. They weren't helpful in the slightest. However, Dr Elmar Jung's practice was so wonderfully different. They were patient with any miscommunication, they were kind, and put any concerns I had to rest. Any questions I had were answered, and they talked me through the procedures, explained what they were doing and why, so I wasn't left in the dark or wondering. The dental appointments themselves were nothing short of amazing. Dr Velasco and Nurse Ana were like angels. They made sure any work done was painless, and when I expressed even the slightest bit of discomfort, they would check in and even apologise the few times I had to sit through some discomfort. They were exceptionally gentle with me, and I must admit I nearly fell asleep in the chair many times. They took remarkably good cate of me, and my mother kept commenting on how thoughtful, tender, and compassionate they were throughout every step. Their touch was always light and considerate, and they treated me with such kindness that I felt safe and comforted the entire time. During the appointment where they worked on my two front teeth, my mother mentioned that watching Dr Velasco fill in and shape them was like watching an artist. Dr Velasco took the utmost precision and care during that appointment, and I cannot thank her enough for that. The way Dr Velasco and Nurse Ana worked together was extraordinary. They moved in complete harmony, anticipating each other’s actions with such natural precision that it was almost like watching a well-rehearsed dance. It was truly a wonder to behold. I've hated the dentist all my life, ever since I was a child. Elmar Jung's practice has changed my mind on that. Working with Dr Elmar Jung and his team was the best decision of my life, and I'll never stop being grateful for everything they've done for me. They brought back my smile, and my ability to live. I cannot thank them enough.

   Initial experience with Dr Elmar Jung and his amazing team of personal assistants Terri and Vicki I’m very impressed with the first class communications I’ve had with Terri. I am grateful for Terri’s very speedy email replies, as I know she is so busy but even so, Terri and Vicki have looked after me so well, and have been so patient and caring and informative in our communications. A big THANK YOU to them ! They supported me putting my mind at ease and creating a speedy and smooth run up to the first video consultation. Dr Elmar Jung, who has also been extremely helpful and compassionate and patient with me during our initial consultation and conversations, and is a pleasure to talk with, a genuinely kind guy who knows his stuff. THANK YOU ! for looking after me Elmar. I am looking forward to meeting up with more of their very professional and amazing team in the near future. Warmest regards Paul

   I recently had a molar extraction at this practice, and the experience was far worse than I had anticipated. While I understand that an infection can complicate recovery, the pain I endured during the procedure was unbearable—even after multiple numbing injections. The pain was so intense that I was left in tears, sobbing throughout, which was unlike any dental procedure I’ve ever had. Despite having a high pain tolerance from previous surgeries and dental work, this was an entirely different level of discomfort, bordering on barbaric. When I asked Dr. Velasco why the anaesthesia wasn’t working effectively, she simply stated that this had "never happened to a patient [of hers] before." However, after speaking with several dental professionals since, I’ve learned that this is a common issue with deeply infected teeth. I should have been given the option to stop the procedure much sooner if the numbing injections weren’t effective—but this was never communicated to me. The healing process was equally excruciating, and I don’t feel my pain was managed adequately. Dr. Velasco advised me to take ibuprofen/paracetamol, yet by day four post-extraction, I had already started a seven-day course of antibiotics, tried codeine - 30mg (which didn’t relieve the pain), and eventually had to take tramadol - 50mg - under the supervision of my GP and NHS dentist. It was only in a follow-up email that Dr. Velasco mentioned the 'importance' of Biophoton Therapy, claiming it would have helped with healing: "...skipping this treatment may have contributed to the elevated pain you're feeling". However, I was never informed beforehand of its importance or why it was essential. Dr. Jung and Dr. Velasco were content to proceed without it, and if Biophoton was truly that crucial, it should have been insisted upon. Had I been provided with solid scientific evidence, research references, and reliable data on the effectiveness of Biophoton Therapy (offered by this practice via Zoom, not even in-person, and for a costly sum!) for infected tooth extractions, it would have impacted my decision. However, I have received no such information and found nothing of significance online. It now feels like a convenient excuse for my discomfort. I am now receiving care from my NHS dentist after informing Dr. Velasco that I would not be returning to the practice. I felt that any trust I had in her competence and compassion had been lost. My NHS dentist has been incredibly kind, patient, and sympathetic, showing genuine concern for my wellbeing following this traumatic experience. They have also not charged me for any follow-up appointments or X-rays. I have also been working with a trained counsellor to process the trauma of this experience, especially knowing that I now need additional dental work to replace the extracted tooth. I have never been a nervous or phobic dental patient, but I now feel extremely anxious about any future procedures. Overall, I was led to believe this procedure would be a holistic and gentle experience, but instead, it was traumatic and lacked the compassion I was promised. It has been a deeply disappointing, extremely costly, and unbearably painful experience—one that has left me questioning the competence and care provided at this practice. I would not recommend it to others. Please look beyond Google reviews and conduct thorough research before choosing this practice—I regret not doing so myself.

   If you want a professional and thorough treatment plan to help you move forward, then this is the practice for you. You will be listened to and consulted every step of the way. Ana is, in my opinion, an excellent dentist. She has a very gentle, considerate way of working and explains everything as she goes. I felt able to ask any questions and was totally confident in the dental treatment I received from her. I found all the staff at the practice to be warm and welcoming, reassuring if you are a nervous patient. On-site parking is also a bonus!

   I had a wisdom tooth taken out. Prior to the surgery, Dr. Jung recommended i change my diet and added certain supplements to help the healing process. I don't know if it's having had the infected tooth taken out or the new diet and supplements - or both - but I have felt amazing since then! I have so much energy it's great. Consequently, it does not feel like I am depriving myself of certain foods as I am experiencing such benefits. He also made the whole extraction process as comfortable as he could. I had been avoiding the dentist for years and then thankfully, I found Dr. Jung who has helped me to no longer fear going to the dentist. I highly recommend him - and Sam too. I also think my session with Sam prior to the surgery helped improve my well-being.

   I've been chronically ill for the last 10 years, in and out of hospital and my health got worse when I had a root canal re-done at a previous dentist. I did some re-search on root canals and the health impact it has. Which lead me to look for a Holistic dentist and I quickly realised that not all Holistic dentist are what it says on the tin. In terms of Dr. Elmar Jung, Sam Cooper, Ana and the rest of the team, it was the best medical experience I've had. I feel like a had a mind, body, spirit overhaul. It was compulsory for me to see Sam Cooper before the extraction because that is Dr. Jung's requirement. Not to give too much away, I'm so glad this is a requirement. I feel so much better on an energetic level since seeing Sam and understand my Self so much better. She advised me on certain vitamins and minerals as well. Back to Dr. Jung. The extraction of my root canal tooth was done with such skill and finesse that I didn't feel any pain or discomfort during the anaesthetic or the extraction itself. I had blood taken by Ana, again no discomfort as she skilfully got the needle in my vain. I had a Vitamin C infusion while Dr. Jung was working on me. He gave me a breathing technique while he would time my breath while doing the anaesthetic. The extraction itself happened so gently, it's like Dr. Jung lured my tooth out like a tooth whisperer. Once out, we saw an abscess attached to the top of the tooth. Ozone was used to clean my wound, my own white blood cells was used in my wound and stitches were applied. They far exceeded my expectations. To call Dr Jung a dentist is doing him a disservice. Dr. Jung, Sam Cooper and the team are health Alchemist. They are like an oasis in a world suffering with the Medical Industrial Complex. To have a taste of what approach to health you will be getting, read Dr. Elmar Jung's book called Shut your mouth, and open wide (available on Amazon) I will give the book 5 stars as well as it's very easy to read and is packed with overall health information that makes you realise the wealth of knowledge and passion for health he has. I'm only 6 days in since my surgery so will update this review of any health changes since my root canal extraction and getting rid of the mercury in my mouth.

   After suffering with chronic fatigue for many years it was pointed out to me by a functional medicine doctor that having quite a number of metal fillings and root canals was a major contributing factor. I was referred to Doctor Elmar Jung as he specialises in this type of holistic dentistry and is recognised as the top expert in this area in the uk. Since having the metal fillings and root canals removed, my health and chronic fatigue has increased dramatically. I would therefore highly recommend Dr Elmar Jung, I am very happy with the treatment I received, he was highly personal and prof throughout the process. I believe in both his and my functional medicine doctors perspectives that we should not be putting metal into our bodies and that this is a major root cause of chronic fatigue syndrome.

   I have been going to Elmar for about 5 years and I truly appreciate having him as my dentist. Although it’s about a 3 hour car drive, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Unfortunately I have had to have some unpleasant procedures along the way, e.g wisdom teeth extractions, and I tend to feel very anxious about dentist visits (I neglected going for 7 years so there was some work to do). But he has made the experience as positive as it can be, and I really trust him. He even managed to save a tooth of mine which had broken badly. He treated it, and over the course of a year the nerve retracted and I managed to keep it so far! He has been patient and kind when I have felt very emotional and scared and I just wanted to say thank you and i recommend him to others. I also love that he uses homeopathic remedies which have really helped with healing. It’s really hard to find a genuinely holistic dentist, and So I’m glad I have one!

   Dr. Elmar Jung is thoroughly professional and has a great attention to detail with his work. I cracked my tooth recently which resulted in a large section coming away. I originally went to my local dentist who categorically stated it would need to be extracted. I’d already researched Dr. Elmar and wanted the extraction to be carried out with him. One of his first questions was whether the previous dental practice had tested the tooth to check whether it was still alive or not (they hadn’t) and so this lead to Dr. Elmar offering me the option of saving the tooth as it was still alive. Needless to say I was delighted with the outcome having gone in expecting the tooth to be extracted. The practice extends its focus to looking at the whole body as a holistic system which gives reassurance that the best decisions and approaches are taken for overall health and recovery from treatment. His podcast series shows a real passion for the subject and continual learning.
