The Facial Pain Center is committed to delivering patient-centered care for sleep apnea and TMD. Our experienced doctors and friendly team serve patients at convenient locations throughout the Twin Cities.
When you visit The Facial Pain Center, you receive the care thats right for you, explained in a way that will make sense to you, so you can take the right steps to overcome your symptoms. We help you accomplish this by developing a treatment plan that addresses the causes of your sleep apnea and TMD.
The Facial Pain Center was formed in 1987 in order to evaluate, diagnose and treat people with pain and dysfunction of the Temporomandibular Joints (TMJs) and other facial pain. At that time, the treatment of facial pain disorders was in its infancy and our practice helped fill a need in our community. Our focus of working collaboratively with physicians, physical therapists and psychologists helped integrate the treatment of facial pain disorders with the broader medical community.
The Facial Pain Center also recognized a need over 15 years ago in the dental sleep medicine area. The group began collaborating with Physicians diagnosing Obstructive Sleep Apnea to treat those patients that can benefit from dental sleep appliances. In the years since, our doctors have treated thousands of patients with these devices to ultimately improve their health and overall quality of life.
The Press Ganey Seal of Integrity ensures all ratings and comments are both valid and objective. By displaying the Seal of Integrity, Facial Pain Center proudly acknowledges that the data we use meets the following requirements:
The star ratings on our website come from verified patients who voluntarily complete the satisfaction survey sent by Press Ganey. Thousands of patients complete this survey each year compared to only a few dozen who review Facial Pain Center on Yelp, Google, and other third-party review sites. The volume of reviews on our website dramatically increases the accuracy of the patient experience, whereas reviews on sites like Yelp and Google tend to be skewed based on one or two experiences. Additionally, reviews left on other third-party sites cannot be verified as coming from actual patients. By posting all of the ratings and comments we receive from our satisfaction surveys, we are giving you the best possible representation of the experience you will receive when you visit one of our practices.
Each doctors star rating is calculated from all responses to the eight detailed questions listed above. Mean scores for each question are then calculated and divided by 20 to produce star ratings on a 0-5 scale. Example: Mean score of 94.4 / 20 = 4.72 or 4.7 stars.
In order to provide our patients with the most accurate and beneficial information, we only post star ratings and comments for a doctor once they have received a minimum of 30 surveys within the previous 18 months.
