Dr. Raman is the first place you should call if you are struggling with TMD or other complex jaw issues. I made the mistake of starting with a dentist who was closer to my home, and slightly more economical. I wasted over a year of time and financial resources pursuing a solution that never materialized. Dr. Raman's holistic approach is exemplary of his vast knowledge and understanding of treating TMD. Do your research and you will see it is not just a disorder of the jaw, but the whole body. After a year in treatment with Dr. Raman and his able staff, I am pain free, popping free, and have a beautiful, healthy smile. The entire experience was wonderful.

Dr. Raman and his team are lifesavers. My dentist referred me to Dr. Raman after a jaw injury suddenly left me with serious pain and really limited mobility. I'd had jaw clicking for years (with no pain), so thought nothing of it - but the injury was the breaking point for my TMD. During my first appointment, Dr. Raman also pointed out that my chronic migraines and headaches were likely a result of living with TMD, too. I'm about 9 weeks into treatment (using an orthotic for phase 1; orthodontic treatment for phase 2) and my jaw pain is about 80-90% improved - I can eat normally, and the pain recedes more and more everyday. I've only had one migraine since the orthotic was put in place (compared to 4x weekly headaches, and 1-2x migraines a week, prior). I wish I'd known to seek TMD treatment with Dr. Raman before symptoms got so bad, but I'm immensely grateful to have found him at all!

Dr. Raman and his team are amazing. I have had clicking and pain in my jaw for over ten years. Within the first week of treatment both of these have gone away. Dr. Raman has been very thorough in finding a solution to my problem. I wish I would have seen him earlier.

I was suffering from tmj issues ( left side jaw pain, headache and eye pain ) since 2015 I decided to take treatment with Dr. Raman in August 2022 since I had very bad flare in Dec 2021 and my tmj splint which I was wearing since 2016 ( splint was made from other doctor ) was not helping me at all. I was in constant jaw pain, headaches on left side. Dr. Raman did thorough screening ( lots of measurement , scan) before deciding the right treatment for me. As part of my treatment ,for phase 1 Dr. Raman suggested me to wear orthotics ( custom made orthotics ) 24/7 for 3 months. I am at 7 weeks of my treatment and my symptoms related to tmj ( headache, eye strain and jaw pain) are now reduced 60% I still get flares occasionally but their severity is less and I can manage my tmj flare with some home treatments ( ice pack, eat soft food for some days) I would highly recommend Dr. Raman if you are looking for natural remedies for TMJ. He will do thorough exam and suggest right treatment for individuals. Melissa and Amy are very friendly and always ready to answer the questions. I am truly satisfied with the treatment and am hoping to get less tmj flares in future Prabha

Prior to seeing Dr. Raman I was in severe pain 24/7 without even realizing due to my tmj and scoliosis. I have only been a patient of his for a couple of months and I feel 90% better and this is only the beginning.

Such thorough testing and diagnosis. Dr. Raman knows what he's doing. I've had long term neck and back pain that started to affect everyday life at all times and I had been everywhere (chiropractors, kinesiologists, physical therapists) to no avail. This was the missing piece to getting my body back!

Dr. Raman, I'm trying to work through an issue I've had with Amy. She told me I was unable to speak with a supervisor as she didn't have one. I hope I can discuss this with you directly.

I found Dr. Raman after doing a google search for neuromuscular dentists, thankfully he was in my area! I'd been dealing with jaw, neck, and low back pain for decades and was never able to connect it to my misaligned bite or jaw. Although I knew I had TMJ and airway issues (sleep apnea) I didn't understand the pain could migrate to my low back. I spend tons of money with rheumatologists, functional medicine and was even treated for Lyme disease that I now know I never had. I've been in my fixed orthotic over a week and have seen an overall improvement of 65% already. I still have neck and low back pain but is reduced by 50% and my jaw pain is 90% improved and I'm no longer biting my tongue 24/7. I've seen additional improvement in other areas I didn't expect such as IBS, blurry vision, better sleep and the best is my energy level is up. For anyone concerned about the out of pocket cost, I can tell you it's the best money I've spend with a dr. thus far and it all made sense once Dr. Raman reviewed his assessment with me. He answered all my questions and then some, he and his staff are the best when it come to customer service and attitude. You will not be disappointed. At least schedule a phone consultation to see if he could help. I know I will continue to improve and looking forward to the next phase.

I was not aware that they would not work with insurance. Amy wouldn't give me a rough estimate on the cost of treatment at our meeting before the consultation. I wasted $270 to be told treatment is about 11k and possibly more. I wasn't aware they wouldn't work with insurance until after everything was said and done. Do your research. There are other companies that give free consultations and work with insurance. Kicking myself for being so desperate.

I'm hopeful for the first time in years. This is all because of Dr. Raman, Amy and Melissa. They are friendly, experienced, and very thorough. You will leave the first appointment with an understanding of the jaws relationship to the body. It's mind boggling how TMD is not covered by insurance (medical and dental) when it affects so much of your life! They will all ask you frequently if you have any questions to make sure you completely understand everything. The amount of data they collect is insane and so interesting! It all leads to a complete understanding of how your jaw is working. I love how Dr. Raman is a very data driven Doctor. He will explain all the data and what it all means. But the best thing, he's not guessing!! He's not saying he "thinks" this is what's going on. He's letting you know that this IS what's going on and can back it up. When you move forward on treatment, you can see how the data assists in making your treatment just that. Your treatment. The commitment that Dr. Raman, Amy and Melissa have to making your life better is inspiring and I'm so glad I made the decision to move forward with treatment. The cost can be overwhelming, due to insurance not covering treatment, but after years of medications, surgeries, pain, constant doctor visits and loss of time dealing with all of it, It's worth it. I'm worth it. And guess what? After just a week in the orthotic, I was significantly feeling better. Thank you, Dr. Raman, Amy and Melissa!

This is the best ran office of any doctor I have been to. They are very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I have had. I was having a lot of trouble finding a doctor for my TMD. I am so happy I was finally referred to Dr. Raman.

Before I met Dr. Raman, my jaw would lock closed, I was in bed with a headache every day, and my anxiety was through the roof. Of course, at the time, I didn't know any of this was related. When we were directed to Dr. Raman, he was very up front with us about whether or not he could help us, and how much it would cost. He didnt say, pay me and hope it helps. He said, let me show you why I think this can help. And it did. It's been about three years and I feel amazing. On top of this, we were never treated like just another case. They care about us as people, and they care about the way their work has changed lives. Lilly and Rachell

I have been a patient of Dr. Raman's for the last 15 years. My first visit to the Raman Center was in 2005. I suffered from jaw pain, migraine headaches, neck pain, tinnitus, ear stuffiness, and fatigue. After testing, Dr. Raman felt that he could help me. A plan for treatment was presented to me and I trusted Dr. Raman's knowledge and expertise to complete this journey. I've never looked back because I couldn't image what my life would have looked like if I hadn't received treatment. I could smile again ! His staff is amazing and the atmosphere is always inviting. They are like family to me and I continue to travel to the center to have my teeth cleaned to this day. Thanks for all you do to transform lives !

I am fortunate enough to have been Dr. Raman's dental patient for 25 years now. Early in my patient history, I had to have him provide me with multiple crowns and a root canal after I had cracked FOUR molars due to grinding my teeth. He provided me with a mouth guard to wear at night and the quote "lips together, teeth apart". He also provided me with a very detailed description of why I grind my teeth due to misalignment of my jaw, how this affects so many aspects of physical health, and that he could re-align my teeth to help resolve these numerous health issues. I was a ballet dancer and my theory is it created a high tolerance for pain because I finally had had enough 25 years later! He has always had the utmost respect for his patients to make their own decisions on their own timeline about treating TMJ. I had successful SHORT-TERM relief from headaches, neck pain and even adjustments to my jaw and ear canal from my chiropractor over the years, but the pain would return over time, and I would have to see the chiropractor more and more as I aged. My jaw itself has started to deteriorate, and my sleep has been fitful for decades, which in and of itself creates a whole anxiety spiral. Health is never robust when sleep is lost, and I lost much sleep over the years with pain in my head, jaw, neck and all the way down my shoulders into my back. I had to go to an Ear, nose and throat doctor and be prescribed steroids as my ear canal would often become painfully congested. Now that Dr. Raman has re-aligned my teeth to a proper position, my headaches, jaw aches, ear aches, and neck and shoulder soreness that I lived with for so long are no longer issues I have to suffer with. Sleep has been restorative and I wake up feeling like I'm actually rested. My jaw used to feel like it was grinding and clicking and it was tender and sore all of the time, and now find myself being freed up to think about so many other aspects of life other than what is hurting! I really am so relieved I FINALLY decided to do something about being so miserable, it was so worth it.
