From the moment I stepped foot in the office it was the best experience ever. My regular dentist office recommended I come here because I’m a teeth grinder. Every step of the way Dr. Shirazi and the staff have explained the who, what, when, where and why’s. I no longer have the agonizing jaw pain I have had for about 10 years. I will continue to wear my night appliance to make
sure that Dr. Shirazi’s work doesn’t go to waste.

After a referral by my dentist, I began treatment with Dr. Shirazi and his staff a few months ago. While I am still receiving treatment, this is my feedback to this point:

Dr. Shirazi is very knowledgeable, takes time to hear your questions/concerns and provides in depth explanations. It is rare to find a provider that invests this level of quality time with their patients these days, and Dr. Shirazi is one of these hidden gems. This level of attention doesn't stop with the doctor. Everyone treats you as a priority. While I could hear other patients, I always felt as though I was the only patient in the office due to the high level of care I received and never felt rushed. Holly (Shirazi's assistant) is very understanding, compassionate and genuinely cares about the patients. Lynn and Athene are the front desk team that will assist you with everything from answering your questions to helping you navigate your insurance claim. Everyone is happy to be there and truly wants to help you in any way they can. As a patient, it is tangible and immediately puts me at ease.

I went in to address a jaw clenching issue. In my first visit, I received a very thorough assessment that included a full medical history, CT scan and treatment options. Several types of treatment are available in addition to oral appliances, such as red light therapy to acupuncture. Since beginning treatment, my jaw clenching has been managed to where my teeth are no longer hurting and my dental work remains intact. I also wake up feeling rested rather than exhausted every morning. My disabling migraines were reduced from approximately 12 days each month to 1-2 times monthly, if at all. None of my other providers connected my jaw clenching with these other chronic issues, but Dr. Shirazi did. He gave me back a quality of life I previously resigned to having eluded me many years ago.

To address cost, I did pay upfront for my services since I was able to obtain a pre-authorization from my insurance to have in-network benefits applied for my treatment. In conjunction with my insurance claim reimbursement, the cost is able to be mitigated down with HSA/FSA funds, if you have them available or plan ahead for this treatment. You will be provided the documentation to submit a claim with your health insurance after determining what payment option you will be providing for your visit and treatment plan. You also receive the staff's feedback and support throughout your claim process. I wouldn't hesitate to do this again with the results I have received so far. My treatment has already saved me numerous future appointments and medication with my other providers, and I'm not even done with my treatment plan. Choosing to proceed with Dr. Shirazi's treatment has already proven to save me far more money for the duration of my lifetime, and I feel my health and quality of life are worth the upfront investment.

Thank you, Dr. Shirazi and team!!!

Came in December with a massive flare up, it was the worst jaw pain I’ve ever experienced. The team here was able to get me fitted with appliances that helped me quickly resolve this issue and fix the structure of my jaw. Very thankful and they have been nothing but great!

Dr Shirazi and his staff are the most loving and educated people around. I went in with severe jaw pain and Dr. did a full check up to determine the root of my issues. He explained everything so well and detailed, at that time I knew I had chosen the perfect office for my needs. I now sleep and eat everyday without my jaw pains because of his perfect structured treatment plan. I will continue to recommend this office to everyone with similar issues because I know him and his staff will go above and beyond to treat all patients.

This place is the best if you are looking for any help with TMJ issues. The staff are all very helpful, kind, and willing to help and answer any questions you might have. Dr. Shirazi is also a fantastic doctor, he goes everything in detail with you about the treatment plan, what to expect, and is open to any and all questions, and strives to make sure that the patient is comfortable through the whole process. Really happy to have been referred to this place by my dentist

Came in for evaluation for severe headaches, ear pressure/pain and jaw pain. Dr. Shirazi was able to identify my TMJ misalignment and clenching as a probable source - 6 weeks into treatment and nearly all the clinical signs have resolved.

Staff is always friendly and has been supportive along the way. Highly recommend for management of TMJ disorders.

I came to TMJ & Sleep Therapy with severe pain from lock jaw. This included headaches and not being able to open my mouth comfortably to even brush my teeth. I was given a complete and thorough exam to address my issues, including clenching and grinding my teeth, which I have done for years. My treatment plan, including acupuncture, and being fitted for a new nighttime appliance has given me complete peace of mind in avoiding any surgery. I am thankful to Dr. Shirazi and his team for seeing me through the journey to end pain free.
