I have NEVER been the type to get on and write any kind of review. But this was by far, the worst experience I have had with any doctor. I am a college student who is studying vocal performance, so my life is singing. I have had jaw problems for 3 years (before I ever started singing). I experience clicking and a lot of pain, especially in the morning when I wake up.
Today I went to meet with him with the hope that I could get a mouth guard to sleep with at night. Well instead, I waited in the waiting room for 45minutes and met with the doctor for only 5 minutes. He was extremely impersonal and told me that I needed to stop singing for 4 weeks to see if that helped. He acted as if my career choice was impractical and that I should no longer pursue it. He also told me that TMJ is like diabetes, not very treatable. It was very disappointing and I will not be going back to him. He did not offer any real help and did not seem to care about the pain that I am experiencing. The only thing I can say good about today, was the office staff was all very nice.
I do highly advise going to Dr. Sroor in Lee's Summit. I called them today after my appointment with Dr. Solano, and a woman at his office spent 20 minutes on the phone with me and giving me great advise. I have an appointment with them this week to get a mouth guard.
