Patient Reviews

Wonderful provider! Highly recommend! My wife has suffered from TMJ issues for years progressing to where it was becoming really hard to even eat. It's taken time, but her pain level is so much better, sleep apnea is vastly improved, she's able to eat and chew normally, and much of her head pain is gone. Dr. Russell & his staff have been wonderful! Attentive, caring, listened and customized her treatment plan so that it works for her, even working around a neck injury she had from a fall.

Dr. Russell and staff were able to assist in alleviating my TMJ issues. They were respectful, knowledgeable and were always happy to answer my questions. 100% recommend if you have TMJ issues.

My treatment was very successful! Prior to seeing Dr. Russell and the team, I had suffered from TMJ since my teens, over 45 years. It had reached a point where my jaw would lock closed while eating, with a very painful moment, virtually every meal. While initially skeptical about the process, within six months the pain has gone and not resurfaced. The permanent night time appliance is indispensable. Dr.Russell is convinced in his approach, and his team is efficient, friendly and professional. If you suffer from daily acute pain, and have the funds for this treatment, it might be the best money you ever spent.

I was referred here by a Dr. who told me Dr. Russel is not only best in his field but he truly likes what he does and it shows. In a nut shell I found Dr. Russel and staff to be intelligent, knowledgeable people. My 4 month massive headache from tmj was minimal as I left my first visit and gone in less than a week and never returned. Cool people.

Jenny is my favorite medical assistant in Dr. Russell’s team. I visit the clinic every few months, and seeing Jenny always makes me feel happy and at ease. She is always kind, gentle, patient, polite, and genuinely helpful to patients. Whenever she is around, I feel a great sense of comfort. Thank you, Dr. Russell, for having such an outstanding team.

Dr. Russell has significantly improved my quality of life with an excellent solution for my sleep apnea as I was unable to use the face mask. This alternative has been incredibly beneficial. Additionally, my TMJ symptoms have improved. The office staff is both kind and supportive. I recommend highly.

After experiencing migraines and jaw pain for over 40 years, I finally have relief. Dr Russell's knowledge, attention to detail and listening skills are difficult to find these days. I could tell right away he was compassionate about his work and helping his patients. His staff are friendly, professional and they all seem to work well together. I highly recommend Restorative Sleep and TMJ. Dr Russell and his staff have changed my life, I am now migraine free. Suzanne Cox

I've had severe TMJ issues for over 10 years. This includes constant pain and difficulty opening my jaw. I had to cut up my food because of limited range of motion. I was referred to Dr. Russell by my dentist. After treatment from Dr. Russell, I now have no jaw pain and am able to eat normally. My jaw range of motion is now in the normal range. I wish I had been referred to Dr. Russell when I first started to have pain and trouble eating. My quality of life is so much better without TMJ issues.

Getting right to the point, Dr. Russell and his staff's services get 5 stars from me because my experience in his practice included the following important elements: • Holistic/systemic care • Efficient, state-of-the-art technology • Patient-centered/individualized care • Patient CARE (caring about the actual patient) To elaborate a bit, regarding my first point, there is a clear recognition at this practice that health is absolutely a holistic concept, and that the interplay between various patient biophysical characteristics, lifestyle, genetic-environmental interactions, etc., must be taken into account to understand and heal a patient. Especially with the perverse incentives inherent in our health care system, it is an uphill battle to resist the temptation to simplify patient care to a singular cause and treatment (and likewise conform to industry billing standards), and Dr. Russell manages to do this effectively. But I digress. For my evaluation, Dr. Russell employed a battery of high-tech screening and imaging procedures that provided him with an onslaught of information that he and his team quickly processed to provide me a clear and holistic picture of my probable etiologies. This was a comprehensive and efficient way of determining where I would most benefit from medical intervention. Dr. Russell and his team took the time to explain in detail the types of changes they would recommend to enhance my health. This was not based on a preconceived category that they could stuff me into but rather a deep look at my personal situation. This practice puts each patient into a curated, individualized care model that is modifiable based on the unique condition of that patient. Finally, it was clear that the staff care about the actual patients as humans. This is incredibly refreshing. Needn’t say more there. Overall, a highly recommended practice. You may not even know what you need until you visit, but, in my experience, this office will sort you out!

I went to Restorative Sleep & TMJ through a recommendation from my normal dentist after using a mouth guard (made through the dentist office) for a few years that caused my jaw to lock into place when I slept. Every morning I would wake up and have to pop my jaw back into place and throughout the day, sometimes every meal I would experience popping while I chewed food. After being fed up with a symptom created by the mouth guard which was supposed to be protecting me from my grinding and clenching while I slept, I needed to address all of the problems in was having with sleeping and daily jaw pain. Dr. Russell not only listened to my complaints intently, but then he immediately had so much information and explanation beyond anything I expected. His team thoroughly examined all aspects and made me feel confident that they not only could identify the root cause of the issues with grinding/clenching, but then reassured me that the jaw popping was also completely explainable and treatable. Though the full treatment cost was much more than in would have expected, I do not regret following Dr. Russell’s plan because I am completely symptom-free. In fact, all of my jaw popping went away the first day I started wearing the daytime guard. And the nighttime guard has also helped me sleep longer and deeper than I have in years. My biggest regret is that I didn’t do this sooner!

Dr. Russell has given me back my life, bite, and sanity! I came to him with severe TMJ not knowing that he was a sleep specialist as well. I am an insomniac, so his help with sleep was an added bonus. My first appointment took over two hours as he tested, measured, and checked me from head to toe. He came up with a plan and procedures to help me get my bite back. I ended up needing jaw surgery. Now I have my bite back and I’m sleeping better thanks to Dr. RUSSELL.

I began seeing Dr. Russell in September 2023. I knew I was having some breathing issues overnight- I was waking up feeling unrefreshed, at times gasping for air in the middle of the night, and had mild sleep apnea. My initial exam was incredibly thorough and eye-opening. After looking at my scans, it was obvious I had a severely deviated septum along with a few other challenges including TMJ. Treatment for my breathing and TMJ began soon after along with a consult with an ENT for surgery. Over the last year, my symptoms have greatly improved. Dr. Russell and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable. I could spend hours talking about airway, nutrition, and optimal health with Dr. Russell! I highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Russell and staff were amazing. I spent over 16 years being in pain from my TMJ. At first I thought I had some cavities because my back teeth hurt. I was in my 30's and had no issues with jaw pain previously. I went to the dentist and my teeth were fine and I was told that I was probably grinding my teeth at night. The dentist set me up with an upper mouth guard and sent me on my way. No mention of TMJ. The tooth pain never subsided and eventually the pain was in my jaw, ear, down my neck, behind my eyes, and resulted in migraines multiple times a week. My last dentist I had, before finding Dr. Russell, said I had been grinding my teeth so much that I had caused my jaw joints to become squared off. But to make sure I was consistent with my mouth guard. Still no mention of TMJ. I was taking so much ibuprofen every day and rubbing CBD lotion on my jaw and neck every morning and evening just so the pain would be tolerable. Long story short, not really, we reached out to Restorative Sleep & TMJ and they saved me. I do truly feel that way. I have not used CBD on my jaw since the first appointment. They are not about giving you an appliance and sending you on your way but about trying to fix the damage that the TMJ caused and trying to get everything back to normal. Yes. I will have to wear an appliance at night for the rest of my life, I was already doing that. But to wake up every morning and not feel any pain fom the neck up is more than I could have asked for or expected to get after so many years. I will be forever grateful!!!

I've been there only once for my consultation but Dr. Russell is the first person to truly understand that my pain was serious and that giving me a source of relief was important. He explained every test and evey result thoroughly and made me a part of my care plan. The financial team gave me multiple options to make sure the cost of my treatment was something that could fit into my budget. I can't recommend them enough!
