I have had severe TMJ since I was 10 years old. I wasn't aware that there were TMJ specialists out there. My dentist referred me to see Dr. Streif. Dr. Streif was extremely attentive and created a night guard for me. It was completely different than any previous dental appliance I have received. My jaw pain went from a 8/10 to a 0/10. I am very grateful. The office team is goes above and beyond as well. I had a lot of issues with my insurance/billing. The office team help guide me through the situation and reached out to my insurance company multiple times. I would suggest anyone with TMJ pain to see Dr/ Streif and his team.

After a long, confusing exam the doctor recommended therapy at the therapist next door to his clinic. Both the exam and something like 8 therapy sessions were a waste of time. My jaw pain has barely improved and the recommended therapists have run out of ideas on how to treat it. I guess I'll ask my family doctor if she has any other options because I'm not going back.

Very rude front desk staff every time we called or went in. Called once because of unbearable pain and was referred to the website. Was not allowed to talk to the Dr. We have switched to a new place.

Twin Cities TMJ & Facial Pain Clinic is the place to go for excellent service, care for the clients, helpful resources, integrity, and for the best help for TMJ pain to be resolved. Dr. David C. Streif, DDS is the very best doctor I have ever had in all the many years I have experienced problems with my TMJ disorder. He is professional, friendly, very knowledgeable, and truly cares for each of his clients who he is helping to get pain relief. He has made me dental appliances to wear nightly to help align my jaw joints correctly, to help me with the wear and tear that happens to our jaw joints if we grind or clench our teeth, and he has custom made these appliances to fit correctly over my teeth. He will make sure the fit for these appliances is perfect. He is a wonderful doctor! He has surely hired all of the right staff also- Kim who works at the front desk, answering calls and making you feel welcome, always with a smile. Chelle is there to help Dr. Streif get your night guard ready for you, and Jessica is there to assist you also with your night guard and walk you back to the front desk after your appointment is over. The entire staff all work as a team together and their teamwork is outstanding. Please give the Twin Cities TMJ & Facial Pain Clinic a call if you are in any TMJ pain or facial pain. There are solutions and they can be found right here!

Dr Streif is one of the best doctors I have ever seen! My issue was somewhat unique, and Dr. Streif took the time to fully assess my situation and got down to the root cause of my issue by asking numerous questions, listening, looking at x-rays, and examination. He even provided me with a hard copy summary of my visit before I left the office, and it included the diagnose, assessment, treatment plan, and costs. What set this visit apart from other doctor visits was Dr. Streif's thorough assessment (making me feel confident in the diagnosis), listening skills (didn't feel rushed), and kindness (I felt as though he cared about me and my situation). Great doctor, would definitely see again and recommend!
