TMJ Sleep Airway Orthodontics

I cannot say enough about Dr. Newaz and his staff. From the minute you walk in the door you are met with smiles, support and professionalism. Everyone on staff is at the top of their game, kind, patient, knowledgeable and compassionate. I entered the practice when Dr. Nuwaz was first raking it over from Dr. Walker, and it was seamless. He and the staff clearly explained all of the treatment options available to me, and have been great partners throughout my entire treatment for TMJ. What could have been a difficult and painful experience was made so much easier with this incredible team behind me.

I had such a positive experience with Dr. Newaz. He took the time to do a very thorough evaluation and clearly explained all of my diagnostic findings and treatment options. I appreciated how he connected my dental and jaw issues with symptoms I’ve been experiencing, which made me feel truly understood. His professionalism, attention to detail, and patient-centered approach really stood out. I feel confident moving forward with the treatment plan he recommended, and I would highly recommend Dr. Newaz to anyone looking for an orthodontist who goes above and beyond.

You can tell Dr Newaz enjoys what he does. I always as a lot of questions and not all providers like that, which I understand, but Dr Newaz was very patient, answered every question I had, and never dismissed my concerns. The initial visit didn’t feel rushed. I think it’s good thing they have an initial consult fee because then the provider probably feels like their time and work is being valued. Dr Newaz also agreed that it would be a good idea to see if braces alone can fix my bite before we look at more involved options like expansion. Feeling really hopeful about no longer having jaw pain and being able to bite properly!

Dr. Newaz and his entire team are wonderful. He is an expert in this emerging field, and very personable. I have mild to moderate sleep apnea and underwent skeletal expansion of my pallet with him. During consultation, he answered all of my questions in great detail and utilized high quality scans in-office to explain. Since completing expansion, my mouth is bigger, my nasal breathing is better (I used to always have a stuffy nose), and I've noticed at least some improvement to my sleep quality. Since being in braces, he's remained attentive and detail oriented. I also appreciate honoring of my request to wear N95s during my visits because I am covid cautious.

Rounding up - I felt I had great care and conversation with the Dr - good explanation of the interventions indicated and why in language I understood. Open dialogue and very receptive to questions. Tests and measures leading up to time with the Dr left me wanting more explanation of what was happening, how long it might take, what information was being gathered with the different tools used. Gender affirming care - I would just recommend to staff that you don’t know someone’s pronouns, ever - and instead of listing through the ones you think I might use (he/she/they) I encourage you to ask people their pronouns. And introduce yours if you’re comfortable doing so - with all patients. It’s inclusive and can make a huge difference in comfort in the care you are providing.
