Real Patient Stories

"The day I arrived at the TMJ Center, I knew I was in the right place. I had been dealing with pain for almost a year with no relief; having been treated for infections that weren't there and other maladies to no avail. Finally, I was referred to Dr. Mike and the TMJ Center for diagnosis. I was welcomed with empathy and concern by Dr. Mike and his staff and after examination and x-rays was in fact diagnosed with TMJ. That was about ten years ago and I am now stabilized and also a regular dental patient with Dr. Mike. Only someone who has experienced the pain of TMJ will understand the relief and comfort I now enjoy as a result of the treatment and care of Dr. Mike and his staff. They are truly dedicated and loving professionals.

I have been a patient of "Dr. Mike's" since I moved to Florida 25 years ago. Dr. Mike has successfully provided TMJ treatment as well as providing care for all of my dental needs.
No one looks forward to going to the dentist, but I must say that I am comfortable with Dr. Mike and have a world of confidence in his practice.
I have recommended Dr. Mike to my family and friends, and will continue to do so. You would be very fortunate to be a part of Dr. Mike's family of patients.

"After having my dental work done, people didn't immediately realize what was different about me. One of my friends that I hadn't seen in a while asked me if I had had a face lift!"

"...Dr. Mike was very understanding of my concerns and apprehension, and took the time to carefully explain every procedure and option available to me. With his help and advice for the best possible course of treatment, I opted for Invisalign braces, which turned out to be the perfect solution for me!
Just under two years later, with a bit of whitening (courtesy of Dr. Mike), I now have the bright , beautiful smile that I always wanted. The transformation simply amazes me, every time I look in the mirror! Most importantly, the fears and concerns I once had regarding dental work are no longer an issue for me. I have found in Dr. Mike and his staff, a group of caring, competent professionals, whom I feel extremely comfortable with. They are just a wonderful group of people. I never thought I'd say this, but.... I really love going to the dentist!"

"Dr. Mike has cared for my severe TMJ for four years now and I wouldn't trust anyone else for conservative care. Yes, it is a hike to travel from Spring Hill but its well worth it. His staff is personable, courteous and professional and if you need to hang out, his office is a very easy drive to Honeymoon Island so bring your book and a beach towel!"

"Imagine the Joy... thank you for easing the pain and putting a smile back in its place!"
