Why Patients Choose Us

Specialty care built around you — your story, your goals, and the answers you’ve been looking for


  • A two-hour in-depth evaluation — we take the time to listen, diagnose with advanced testing, and deliver answers and a comprehensive treatment plan the same day.
  • Root-cause focus — we don’t treat symptoms in isolation. We identify what’s causing your pain or sleep issues and what’s perpetuating them, then build a treatment plan aimed at restoring function and long-term improvement.
  • Full clinical freedom — we’re an independent practice by design, so we can recommend the best treatment for you.
  • 30+ years and thousands of patients — our providers hold multiple specialty board certifications in orofacial pain, TMJ, and dental sleep medicine. Patients travel from across Minnesota and around the world for this level of care.
  • Passionate, personal care — you’ll never feel like just a number here. Many of our patients come to us after years of searching for answers, and our team is genuinely invested in your goals, your progress, and helping you feel better. We listen, we take your concerns seriously, and we don’t stop until we find a real path forward.

Treating Head & Neck Pain and Sleep Apnea at the Source

Millions of people suffer ongoing head and neck pain without ever learning the true cause or getting effective treatment. Our specialty office is dedicated to diagnosing and treating the underlying causes of head and neck pain, including migraines.

We also treat sleep breathing disorders such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, which are often deeply involved in chronic pain. People who snore every night have, on average, over two hundred headaches per year. Those with obstructive sleep apnea are at risk of many major health issues.

  • Facial pain / jaw pain
