When I first came to Dr. Michael Singer, I was miserable. I had been suffering from TMJ for over a year. Ringing ears, dizziness, constant pain in my jaw, neck, and back, day in and day out. I had consulted several doctors, including my dentist, an ENT, and even a chiropractor, but was no closer to finding a solution(only poorer for the effort). Each doctorsaw my problem through his specialized niche and gave me a different diagnosis. Finally, I saw a TMJ specialist in Alexandria who recommended a treatment package with a price tag of several thousand dollars. He wouldn’t let me pick and choose the treatment I wanted — it was a packaged deal. Given the the high cost, I figured I should head over to the other side of town to get a second opinion from Bethesda TMJ. Within minutes, Dr. Singer was able to explain to me in clear terms tht the root cause of my problem was a misalignment of my back teeth. It was such a relief to hear someone explain it to me so convincingly. Six months later, I am 100 percent better and at a fraction of the cost I would have paid for treatment that, I later found out, would have aggravated my TMJ instead of curing it. I am incredibly thankful to Dr. Singer and encourage anyone who is suffering from TMJ to try him before any other specialists in the area. He really takes the time to explain the root cause of your problem so that you understand the nature of your treatment and why it is working. Really takes away a lot of the anxiety that TMJ brings on. And he’s honest — not just out there to make a buck. He’s eager to help you find the most cost-effective solution to your problem. I’d recommend him to anyone with TMJ.
