"Not just anyone can remove amalgams safely but Dr. Stagg removed my amalgams and observed a very careful set of procedures. I was concerned about the procedure because I was incredibly ill and always wheezed. I knew that the removal, if not done correctly, could have damaged my health further. Dr. Stagg is a dear friend and did a FABULOUS job - she is rabid about doing mercury removal correctly and keeping the patient, her staff, and herself safe and healthy. I recommend her regularly to my patients."
