I have been seeing Dr. Maruflu for almost 10 years. She's extremely caring and does her best to make complex TMJ appliances affordable. Everyone at the office is always friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend her for your TMJ care.

Dr. Maruflu is wonderful! I actually moved out-of-state many years ago, but was thinking about her today and wanted to stop by to share my experience. Dr. Maruflu changed my quality of life tremendously by significantly reducing the intensity and frequency of my migraines and jaw pain caused by TMJ. Her bed-side manner is impeccable, and her evaluation and treatment plans are thorough. I felt she really cared about treating my pain and improving my quality of life. I would recommend Dr. Maruflu without question!

I met with Dr. Belma Maruflu last month for a TMJ consultation. The consult was thorough and information packed. Possible outcomes with and without intervention. She also narrowed down a few potential issues that could be causing the TMJ in the first place. Dr. Maruflu requested x-rays for due diligence to ensure that what I had was not a simple sinus infection or a upper tooth root concern, but was actually TMJ in origin. The exam room tech, Jenna, was also excellent. This level of specificity and professionalism is much appreciated. Thank you!

I just finished my first appointment, molds & X-rays. All staff was kind and knowledgeable. The doctor displayed great professionalism and extensive knowledge on TMJ. She quickly diagnosed me and created a treatment plan. I am excited to begin my treatment and finally find relief from my pain. I would recommend this office and doctor!

Dr. Maruflu and her entire team are amazing. Dr. Maruflu has the most incredible bedside manner. She is gentle and easy to talk to. She addressed all concerns I had and she spent more time with me than most physicians would. I never had to wait for more than a few minutes to get into a room. The office is clean and very safe covid-wise. Most importantly, she has helped my husband and I immensely. My jaw really doesn't hurt that often anymore and my headaches have all but vanished. Thank you Dr. Maruflu and the team. You create such a welcoming environment.

I cannot recommend Dr. Maruflu enough! For as long as I can remember I have had jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. I assumed this was something I just had to deal with. The wonderful team at TMJ Care has proved me wrong. I recently received two appliances to prevent jaw clenching and the results have been profound and immediate. I have significantly less headaches and jaw pain. While there are some days that I have pain, I've noticed it is usually related to me not being as conscious about not clenching. Even though relieving the pain will be a process because I have to get rid of bad habits, I am so thankful for Dr. Maruflu and her team for creating an individualized plan to help alleviate my symptoms. Dr. Maruflu and her entire staff have been friendly and instructive (and I'm the type of person that has A LOT of questions). The level of care and expertise at TMJ Care is unmistakable during every step of the process in providing relief for those of us who suffer from TMJ-related pain.

I'm convinced that Dr. Belma Maruflu saved my life. She is the most caring and sweet doctor I have ever had. She is a true treasure! Dr. Maruflu is extremely knowledgable and extremely friendly. On top of that, she has assembled an all-star cast of the best people in her office. Elma, at the front desk, is so sweet and expressed much needed empathy when I first called, desperate for help. My symptoms first presented in January of 2019, as a loud ringing in my left ear. In March of 2019 I had to have a tooth removed. I had been grinding my teeth so bad in my sleep, that I pushed a tooth through my sinus cavity. In June/July I began having tension headaches that would completely take me out. I was using too much ibuprofen, too much Tylenol, and too much Excedrin, all at the same time. It wasn't helping so I found a primary care doctor, who referred me to an ENT doctor. I was loosely diagnosed with TMJD by this ENT who told me that I should try to get over it myself because TMJ doctors can be "very expensive." He handed me a packet and sent me on my way. Fast forward to December of 2019. I had lost 40 pounds in just a few months (from not eating) and the pain had become so horrible and intense that I realized that if anything else went wrong, or if the pain became even .01% more painful, I was going to start thinking some dark thoughts. I did a quick google search for TMJ doctors in Tucson and found the highly rated TMJ Care. So I called, willing to sell my house and all my possessions if it meant I didn't have to suffer with this pain anymore. I have a wife and two daughters, and losing everything we had would be better than losing me (which I started to believe was becoming a real possibility). Elma answered. I was calling with intense anxiety and Elma picked up on it right away. Her ability to communicate with me, express that she understood what I was going through, and helped me schedule a time to come in... I will never forget that conversation.. It means so much to me that she was there for me in that moment. Thank you Elma! When I got in to see Dr. Maruflu, I was full of anxiety because I knew I would have to condense a year's worth of symptoms and information quickly, without leaving anything out that could help me get treatment and recover. Dr. Maruflu was the first doctor I'd spoken to all year that I feel actually listened to me without deciding that I was overreacting. She kindly helped me with a grocery list of foods that I needed to start eating, and carefully instructed me on the foods (and habits) I needed to stop. We did all the imaging and fitting for night guards. I started in on the physical therapy, and was fighting for my life. Dr. Belma equipped me with all of the knowledge I needed to be able to be here today writing this review. Improving has been the most difficult task of my entire life, but I'm alive. And I feel I owe that, in part, to the amazing skills of Dr. Belma Maruflu, and her incredible staff. As far as I'm concerned, her practice is the only TMJ practice around. These days I'm actually chewing food again.. I didn't believe it was possible that I'd ever sing in the car again much less chew even the softest food again. I'm so thankful for the treatments that Dr. Maruflu provided me with. I'm able to eat hot dogs, chips, grilled chicken, pizza... I've even been eating crunchy tacos again! Thank you so much Dr. Maruflu! - James L. p.s. If you're reading this, and you're scared or don't know where to go or what to do... Call Dr. Maruflu's office.

When I showed up for my appointment, I had been having pain in my temple, jaw, ear and throat for about 4 months and was desperate for a clear idea as to what a plan of action would look like. In the consultation that took place on my first appointment it was described to me the plan of action, what the appliance looked like and what the expectations were of me to have a good outcome. The compassion and willingness to sit and communicate all this brought me close to tears as I realized the possible ending of my intense pain. I was blessed to have found Dr. Belma Maruflu and I thank her and her staff for the compassionate care I received.

Went to Dr. Maruflu after trying several other things to alleviate grinding my teeth at nite. She made custom appliances which I've been using ever since. Love her joyful attitude and non-invasive, stress relieving advice that can be done daily. One of the best decisions I ever made was to see her. Thank you so much!

Saw this Dr on February 8th, I was in pain and thought she could help, she did a very quick evaluation and some x-rays and they were going to wait for my insurance, a month later I was the one calling to find out what the results were, I guess the asume I couldn't pay for a mouth guard .... FYI The receptionist is very rude!!!

I had significant TMJ pain. TMJ Care has controlled my problems. In addition, frequent headaches I have had for over 20 years have been eliminated. I am extremely pleased with the results achieved.

I was experiencing at least 4 to 5 migraines per week couldn't sleep and was taking pills daily to relieve the pain from my jaw and head I was miserable all the time not a good quality of life was tired most of the time and foggy in my thinking because of pain couldn't drive because of the migraines just miserable. I contacted my Droctor for the migraines they weren't getting any better and other systems I was having and she suggested I see a specialist for tmj we did some research and found Dr. Maualu they got me in pretty quickly. Went in and was greeted by the front desk they were very friendly. I was early and they got me in right away which I was impressed. I was shown to a room filled out some info on an ipod and nurse came in and was very friendly and helpful. Then they took x-rays which didn't hurt a bit. Then the Droctor came in and explained what she was going to do to help me with all the pain I was experiencing. Dr. Maruflu is very Informative in her field just by looking at how my jaw was working she new the problem I was having and explained everything to me in a way I can understand, didn't talk down to me made me feel she understood what I was going through I would recommend her to my friends, family or to anyone who needs the help to relieve the pain I was going through. I've been seeing her for about 5 months and I feel so good now I can't express how wonderful I feel and thank God I found someone like Dr.Maruflu I can't express how she helped me I'm able to drive, read my books, excerise, paint I'm an artist I wasn't able to paint for such a long time now I can do that. Now I see a future where I didn't see one before. Please if you feel anything like I had give her a try you won't be sorry!!!

Seriously the best TMJ specialist in the country. She is certified in "everything" related to this specialty. Do not trust your care to dentists who say they treat TMJ. They do not have the highly specialized education it takes - Dr. Maruflu does. I have been her patient for many years and I continue to see her even though I have moved several states away. I literally fly to Arizona to be seen and cared for by her. I had debilitating migraines and was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia. I grind my teeth at night which adds to head, neck, and migraine pain. I sometimes forget to exercise my jaw or may go a few days without wearing my Appliance and I regret it the next day! Their office knows how to bill my insurance company and I had very little out-of-pocket costs. I am one of the lucky patients with great insurance. Of course that can change at any time but I would find someway to pay the bill and I have no doubt that Dr. Maruflu's office would work with me. I completely trust Dr. Maruflu and her staff. I don't know what I would have done had I not found her. It was a time when I was in so much pain, I didn't think I could perform the duties expected of me at work. I also had a small child at the time to care for. All physicians wanted to do was treat me with Botox injections in multiple trials of medication's. That was not the kind of care I was looking for. Dr. Maruflu was and is my hero! I got my life back because of her. Seriously. Should you choose to see her, I would highly recommend taking notes during visits, when asking questions, or when she's giving direction because it's easy to forget with so much going on - work, school, life in general! In addition, contact your insurance company and get things in writing! If you are seeking a solution for your head, face, jaw pain it might be caused by TMJ. After seeing multiple neurologists I realized my condition had to be a combination of both. I was fortunate to have the collaboration of efforts by my neurologist and Dr. Maruflu. Cindy M.

Avoid at all costs. They do not know how to properly bill insurance. They generally do not seem to know how the process works which only causes frustration on the patient's side. They also do not provide improvement in pain which makes for a waste of time. I prefer to support local businesses but this one is not a good provider or experience.
