I am so very, very grateful to have someone with Dr. Berley's expertise in Northwest Arkansas. I struggled significantly with CPAP and tried everything to get it to work. Finally, my sleep apnea doctor suggested a visit with Dr. Berley for consideration of an oral appliance. Long story short, the oral appliance has worked incredibly well for me, with almost none of the hassles compared to CPAP. I really appreciate his thoroughness, kindness, and patience. He took time to explain things well. It is a blessing he's still here in Northwest Arkansas to help those who struggle with sleep apnea!

I started with Dr. Berley about a month ago to help treat a sleep apnea problem. My CPAP wasn't working for me, so my ENT doctor suggested seeing Dr. Berley. The results so far have been great! Granted, we are somewhat early on in the process, but I'm very please with the results I'm getting, as well as Dr. Berley's approach, explanations, his team - and obviously the results.

Dr. Berley and his team here is always warm and welcoming. They do everything to make the experience comfortable. And Dr. explains exactly what is going on with procedure. I have been coming to Dr. Berley for over a decade.

I went from snoring every night and not getting sleep to no snoring and full nights of sleep instantly. Unbelievable. I wish I would have seen him 10 years ago.

I've seen Dr. Berley and team for ~4 years and my experience has been excellent all around. The dental device Dr. Berley prescribed an fitted for me to address my snoring and obstructive sleep apnea has been life changing. My snoring has stopped (ask my wife) and I no longer need a CPAP machine. The dental device is small and easy to travel with vs the bulky CPAP. Easy to keep in a backpack and use in hotels or when taking a nap on a plane. Dr. Berley and team have my unconditional recommendation.

5 stars would recommend over and over! Dr. Berley is the only specialty I would recommend for TMJ/TMD. Most specialists push you into getting a night guard to wear, which you wear for maybe 8 hours a day then the rest of the day you are wearing nothing. Which is going to reverse any progress that might have been made at night. Dr. Berley will fit you into a stint, which will be worn 24/7 (yes it takes so time to get used to) but with the stint your jaw is in the correct position to actually fix your jaw issues. No its not going to be an over night fix or even a week fix it will take months. But Dr. Berley cares about your comfort and will get you to the placement you are supposed to be!
