I went to Dr. Chad to get an opinion on my mild and infrequent TMJ symptoms, and I highly recommend him.Dr. Chad gave me a comprehensive and thoughtful evaluation. He was thorough and took the time to examine my bite and jaw muscles, understand my symptoms, and answer all of my questions. Because my TMJ symptoms are relatively mild and occur only about once every three months, he recommended a conservative approach: considering a sleep study to better understand what may be happening during sleep, trying magnesium glycinate to help relax the jaw muscles, and doing passive mouth-stretching exercises.What I especially appreciated was that he did not immediately recommend aggressive or expensive treatment. In my experience with some other TMJ specialists, I felt there was a tendency to recommend extensive testing or more invasive treatments, such as Botox injections, even for relatively mild symptoms. Dr. Chad instead took the time to evaluate my situation carefully and recommended practical, reasonable steps that were appropriate for the severity and frequency of my symptoms.
