Detailed Introduction

TMJ & Headache Ctr LLC, located at 29099 Health Campus Dr #220, Westlake, OH, is a highly specialized clinic focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, various types of headaches, and associated craniofacial pain. The clinic is spearheaded by Dr. Wahib Shokri, DDS, and Dr. Alexander Lambrinides, DDS, who collectively bring over 30 years of experience in the dental field with extensive postgraduate education. Dr. Wahib Shokri is a Diplomate in the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain and a Fellow in the International College of Cranio-Mandibular Orthopedics. He is also a member of the Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and the American Association of Functional Orthodontics. Dr. Lambrinides is Fellow-Eligible in the Academy of Craniofacial Pain and a member of the Academy of Sleep Medicine. Their combined expertise emphasizes a commitment to a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating with other physicians to treat the whole patient rather than just isolated symptoms. The clinic offers a wide range of services designed to accurately diagnose and effectively treat complex conditions. These include advanced diagnostic equipment such as Joint Vibration Analysis, Electromyographic (EMG) studies, Computerized Tomography (CT), and Computerized Jaw Tracking, which allow for a precise understanding of jaw function and muscle activity. Treatment modalities are primarily non-invasive and tailored to individual patient needs. They include custom mouthpieces (orthotics) for neuromuscular positioning, dental sleep medicine alternatives for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (like mandibular advancement splints such as The SomnoMed MAS), and various approaches for headache and facial pain relief. The clinic also provides comprehensive orthodontic services, including early treatment, braces, adult orthodontics, and Invisalign, often incorporating these with TMD treatment. Their approach is focused on finding the root cause of pain and dysfunction, aiming for long-term stabilization and improved quality of life. The clinic's website, tmjdoctor.net, serves as a valuable resource, detailing their staff's qualifications, the conditions they treat, and the diagnostic and treatment services offered. They emphasize helping patients suffering from symptoms like headaches, pain behind the eyes, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and teeth grinding, which are often indicative of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder.

Dr. Wahib is very personable when he first meets with a TMJ patient, but he stopped communicating with me directly after I bought into his expensive oral appliance, which he said I was supposed to be able to wear for the rest of my life and that it would continue to decrease the pain as I wore it. He had his intern deal with me instead after the purchase; and she was even less knowledgeable.

At first, for me, the appliance helped alleviate some of my pain, but about three months later that pain began to return, and when I called him one excruciating night, asking why my pain was getting worse, he told me to go to the ER despite it being the same type of pain I had initially come to him with. I do NOT recommend him -- no matter how rational he seems to be when you first meet him, stay away if you want to get better instead of worse in the long run.

I did not decide to get braces until my early twenties. I always knew I needed braces, but I was always nervous to talk to someone about it. Dr. Wahib was extremely helpful and comforting in the entire process. I have been told I was one of the more severe cases, I believed my teeth could not be fixed with braces. I will be getting the braces off soon but I still can not believe how great my teeth look. The process has been much easier then expected, when something has gone wrong I am usually able to see Dr.

Wahib quickly. The entire experience has been great so far, I am always greeted when I walk in the office and my appointments are usually right as scheduled. Dr. Wahib always answers any questions I may have, he may actually be more excited then I am to get my braces off. He really does care about his patients. I would definitely recommend him and his staff.

Dr. Wahib seemed really nice and trustworthy, so much so that I convinced my parents to go with his opinion over that of other doctors. Paid a fortune for an acrylic appliance that didn’t do much to reduce my pain and that wore down completely within a few months. My jaw pain and discomfort has been significantly worse since visiting him, and now my jaw clicks which it never did before.

And I never saw him after paying for the appliance, just a nurse who was very kind but I would have appreciated him checking in every couple appointments. Total scammer.

Took my money, but I never got a working orthotic out of him. Was attentive at first, then I never saw him again (just the assistant). Dealing with this medical office was a huge struggle and cost. I wasted a lot of valuable time. The techniques used were unscientific and the treatment was unprofessional.
