Seattle TMJ Center

I brought my son to Seattle TMJ Center for an alternative treatment for his Tourette’s Syndrome. Dr. Sekendur is very professional, knowledgeable, and personal. He greets us on time, and has given my son his complete, undivided attention at every visit.
A relatively new idea for reducing the tics of Tourette’s Syndrome is by using a dental appliance to separate the jaw a specific distance to where the tics subside. Dr. Sekendur had a custom mouthpiece created for my son. My son was having many vocal and motor tics, and when he wears the mouthpiece the tics stop! After just a few weeks of wearing the mouthpiece only at school, we have even seen a significant reduction in tics when he is not wearing the mouthpiece.
Dr. Sekendur and his excellent staff have been great throughout this whole process, which have included follow-​up visits to adjust and fine tune the mouthpiece.
My son says he feels like a normal kid again!
Thank you!

After two years of suffering from increasingly worsening TMJ-​related pain and without finding much relief, I was beginning to lose hope. I had seen three dentists, including one other «TMJ Specialist,» and had met with an oral surgeon, but their treatment options were terribly expensive and/​or unrealistic, and not one of them took the time to fully explain what was going on with my jaw. Then, thankfully, I met Dr. Sekendur!
Dr. Sekendur and his staff are top-​notch. He is an expert in the field of TMJ, and also provides relief for people suffering from chronic migraines. Unlike many doctors today, Dr. Sekendur is patient, compassionate, passionate, and personally invested in his job. He deeply cares about his patients and it shows.
Each time I left his office, I felt like he really understood what I was going through, and was determined to help relieve my pain — which he did! After several adjustments, I’m happy to say that the TMJ appliance Dr. Sekendur made for me is working beautifully! I would recommend him to anyone suffering from TMJ, and urge you to treat it before it gets worse like mine did!
