Over time, I explored just about every non-surgical approach available and adapted to living with my condition while steering clear of additional surgery. Recently though, I sought professional guidance regarding the ongoing deterioration in my jaw and to understand my current options. After weeks of intensive research to identify top-tier oral/maxillofacial surgeons throughout the United States, I discovered Dr. Krajekian and traveled from California to Cleveland for a consultation. Remarkably, within the first few minutes of meeting him, I felt an immediate sense of confidence in his expertise. What makes Dr. Krajekian truly exceptional is his pioneering work in modern TMJ surgical techniques. He is one of very few surgeons who uses immersive virtual reality (VR) technology for diagnostic evaluation, treatment planning, and surgical rehearsal. I watched his VR demonstration with great interest. It made me realize there had been a dramatic evolution in TMJ treatment since my earlier experience. Beyond his technical expertise, Dr. Krajekian demonstrates an unparalleled dedication to his patients. He carefully developed a customized treatment strategy for my specific situation and has patiently provided detailed, illuminating answers to all my questions. His care is not limited to office visits. He makes himself directly available for direct communication via email and phone - yes, without having to go through admin staff or a patient portal. This is an unprecedented level of availability that I've never before encountered with any healthcare provider. I'm choosing to share my experience now, even before undergoing the actual surgery, because I understand how challenging and overwhelming it can be to find the right specialized care for complex TMJ disorders. Dr. Krajekian's thorough and outstanding pre-surgical support and accessibility have already made a significant positive impact.

God has blessed my socks off with Dr.Krajekian and his team as His vessel! I have ... .no I had…read moredealt with a tingling tongue for almost 4 years. The pressure was intense some days. I made several visits to my dentist through the years and a few to my PCP, no one could help me! In January, I developed a bump behind my molars so I decided to try the dentist again. After a visit to another dentist who referred me to an oral surgeon, I was told I had a cyst and an impacted wisdom tooth close to the jaw bone. It needed to be taken care of asap but another surgeon would need to do it. After an ordeal with finding an oral surgeon, an appointment with Dr.Krajekien was made. I was so defeated by the time I walked into his office and figured it would be the same old same old. He assured me that we were going to resolve this. He was so kind and compassionate and understanding. I told him what was happening and he told me about the VR that he uses in surgery that would show him exactly what was happening in my mouth. After dealing with this for so long and now adding the cyst to the problem and listening to Dr. Krajekien, I knew VR would be my best option. It would show the most accurate analysis of what was causing the tongue issue and help determine the best way to eliminate the cyst and hopefully the intense tingling. I walked out of his office with renewed hope!! He and his team were great with finding appointments that would fit into my husband's and I's busy schedule. Communication was great after I asked what was the best way to get in contact with him and his team. He went above and beyond for me. Due to insurance issues I was about to accept defeat. He would not let me quit! Dr.Krajekien went to bat for me and hit a grand slam! The day before the surgery at my pre op appointment he showed me the VR image and explained to me what was happening and what he was going to do. Amazing! The image he showed me made it crystal clear why my tongue felt the way it did. I was so nervous but so excited for the next day! The day of surgery he was upbeat making sure I was comfortable, happily answering any last minute questions. Once in the OR he was so kind and compassionate, making sure my anxiety was under control for the brief moments I was conscious. During surgery his team kept my family updated every step of the way. After surgery my jaw was still intact, my cyst and wisdom tooth gone and I felt no pain. The surgery went quickly and smoothly I believe due to the VR aspect in preparing for my surgery. In the days after surgery I was able to contact Dr.Krajekian with any questions or concerns. I am on day 7 of my recovery and have had very little pain and no tingling tongue!!! You can tell Dr.Krajekian loves what he does and is dedicated to making those suffering better! He and his team are top notch!! Thank you!!

As a second grader i ran face first into a basketball pole at recess and broke my nose, broke my front teeth, and split my upper lip. Dr. Diane patched me up and made the entire ordeal (which was pretty traumatizing for an 8-year old) as painless as possible. Dr. Diane and her partners manage a safe, efficient, clean, and professional office where all employees are friendly and helpful. Upon arrival for a cleaning or follow up I have never waited longer than 10 minutes in the waiting room. Nada is the hygienist I see regularly and she is incredibly thorough and always friendly. A dentist visit is something universally avoided by most but Dr. DePaul and staff go above and beyond to make the experience as stress-free and painless as possible. I hope to be a patient of hers for a long time.

He drilled to far into my tooth and the pain I felt almost made me pass out. His work resulted in a HUGE INFECTION and I had to have surgery because of him and he REFUSED to acknowledge an infection while two other dentists saw it on a simple x ray. He's scum and doesn't deserve to practice dentistry. I now have PTSD each time I have work done on my teeth and I use to love the dentist. He has ruined countless people's teeth and he falsified documents saying I agreed to a root canal on two different teeth - meaning his receptionist tried to change the tooth number on the consent form i signed for the initial work that he did that resulted in him drilling into my sinuses, and making it look like i agreed to two different teeth to have a root canal. First off nor my or anyone's insurance would cover 2 root canals at once so MAKE IT MAKES SENSE. I have the x rays and photos of the "consent form". He is a joke. He is unpleasant and doesn't handle criticism. When I called to speak to him about this matter, he threw the phone at his wife and made her talk to me. Do not give him your business! He's got prior strikes on his dental license which is public record, so do your research before you let this man near your face! I will make sure my reviews get heard because I'm trying to save the general public from having to get actual professional work done to fix this mans "work". Pitiful
