Before I began treatment I had tons of pain in both my jaw and horrible ear pain along with jaw popping. Once I started treatment i began to notice immediate results. The office staff and doctors are all very knowledgeable and friendly, I didn't expect the results I got out of treatment and they all proved me wrong. I would highly recommend anybody with TMJ problems come to the Craniofacial Pain Center.

I wanted to follow up with a short note about my experience with you, your staff, and my treatment.

First of all, I am very pleased with my treatment; my jaw pain is gone 99.8% of the time! Those rare occasions when it re-occurs I can always identify what I did to cause it and even then the pain is very minor and only for a very short time. I can't even call it "pain" , it's more like a minor discomfort and very tolerable.

When we started my treatment I had pain in my jaw and ear most all of the time. It had gotten to the point I held pressure on the area just below my ear most of the day. I had limited my food choices to soft foods and things that didn't require much chewing; that might have worked in the winter with soup, but it wasn't going to be healthy in the long run or in the summer with all the salads that I enjoy. I didn't even consider carrots, apples, pears, almonds, beef or bagels! Now all of those and chewing gum are in my suite of food choices!

You designed and "built" two "appliances", day and night. I wear the night guard religiously every night. As soon as my head hits the pillow I know if it's in or not, if not, I get up and get it; I simply have come too far to skip a night now. The day time appliance I wore religiously for I believe 6 months. I remember thinking the first day or two , I'll  never get used to this! Public speaking was unthinkable with it, one day I just realized I was wearing the appliance and hadn't even noticed it. I now wear the day appliance when I do strenuous activity, when I'm driving or in other situations where I now recognize I clench my jaw. I usually wear it for the first couple hours of every morning, guess I'm just used to it.

All of this is possible because of your well trained, patient and dedicated staff. they were extremely patient with me -as were you-and made sure on every visit that the appliances fit perfectly, not rough spots or discomfort. How anyone could fine tune to that extent those time thin appliances is a true test to their skill and patience.

I have recommended you Center to others already, and will continue to do so. I had always believed the only solution to my jaw pain was going to surgery. I am so delighted that isn't the route I had to go. I wish your continued success, and look forward to hearing success stories from my friends and acquaintances that i refer to you.

I had been experiencing jaw pain, cracking and soreness while chewing for 15 years. During the last year, I started to get headaches daily because of my jaw.  The headaches led me to see Dr. Spencer. From the first day I started treatment, my headaches stopped.  4 1/2 months later, I have no more symptoms.  I felt very comfortable at CPC and always felt like I was treated very well.

Thank you Dr. Spencer for giving me back the ability to eat,  sleep,  talk,  laugh and smile without excruciating jaw pain!

Before being treated by Dr. Jamison Spencer the pain in my jaws would become so bad i'd be driving down the road rubbing my jaw almost everyday. Now i can chew gum, eat anything I want whenever I want, and never need to rub or hold my jaw anymore. The massages were a real unexpected bonus and very helpful in reducing the amount of headaches and jaw pain i was experiencing.

Prior to seeing Dr. Spencer I could not open my mouth without prying on it with my fist. Now I have no pain or jaw locking problems. Dr. Spencer and his staff are the best. Whenever I had a problem with my jaw they would get me in within 24 hours to fix the problem. I would highly reccomend Dr. Spencer and staff to anyone who has jaw problems.

“For several years I had jaw troubles.  My jaw was popping when I chewed and I was in a lot of pain, and it was getting worse.  When I came to Dr. Spencer I really didn’t think there was anything to do to help.  But the solution was simple.  I have had no problems since 1998.  It was a great experience for me.  The office staff was always encouraging and truly caring.  Dr. Spencer is my hero!”

“After two sleep studies, in 2005 I attempted to use a CPAP machine for my apnea and snoring.  I was not able to tolerate this appliance and felt very discouraged.  My husband also had to sleep in another room during this time because of my loud snoring, not a plus in the first few years of a marriage.

After (my sleep appliance fitting), it was amazing to be able to sleep, with 90% less snoring and decreased apnea.  Good news, my husband is back and we are both sleeping through the night!!!  This appliance is very comfortable, so much so that I don’t necessarily remove it upon first wakening.  It is easy to use, maintain and travel with.

I would like to thank Dr. Spencer, and his wonderful, kind, helpful staff for their help and support, especially Lori, Dr. Spencer’s assistant, who worked with me patiently during each of my appointments.”

“Thank you so much for being an unusually caring doctor.  I seems my life has been so defined by headaches that it is wonderful to have someone care so much and actually provide relief.  Everyone in your office is so warm and friendly too.  I also appreciate the times you fit me in your schedule.”

“I can’t thank you enough for “curing” my TMJ!!  As you know, I was in tremendous pain and I’m so happy to report that I am now “pain free”!  My appliance fits beautifully and that is because of your constant adjustment and I might add – your caring.”
