Dr. Tammy Balatgek, DDS

Tammy is sweet and kind. She explains everything thoroughly and is patient with questions.

Beware! Seems nice but cares ONLY about money. I went there for 3 years; my problem was not TMJ but she convinced me that it needed to be corrected before fixing my bite problem. I fell for it. 2.5 years later my original problem was worse. Instead of referring me to someone who could help, she had 2 other dentists come to her office to try to help. Both failed. Finally she referred me to a prosthodontist, Dr. Andrea Smith who verified that the TMJ treatment from Dr. Balatgek was not only unnecessary but was preventing correction of my bite. To fix it, she had to undo all the years of work by Balatgek, then fixed my original problem. I first asked Dr. Balatgek to return some of my money. She refused, even though Dr. Smith had told her that her treatments were wrong for my mouth. As a vet, I would have worked with client had my therapy hurt a pet. I then tried to sue Balatgek but it was past statute of limitations. I reported her to the dental board. DO NOT TRUST THIS MONEY GRUBBER !!

I love my custom appliance as it has positioned my jaw comfortably allowing for the best sleep ever & no grinding! I spent years paying for crowns & upper appliances that did nothing. Thank you Dr. Tammy!

Before you go here check out The Tmj Association website. Moving the jaw position is NOT recommended. The mouthguard she will prescribe you will do just that. It exacerbated my muscle tension and pain. It is now constant and higher intensity.

Our experience with this office was nothing short of AMAZING. We were taken upon our arrival (even though we did not have an appointment) and I spent the next 4 hours being educated about TMJ and fitted for a mouth apparatus which I look forward to using, with high hopes of success. Mine was a 3 month journey of many doctors, X-Rays, CT scans and bloodwork in an attempt to understand why I was suddenly experiencing facial and back pain and dizziness. Dr Tammy had those answers. The staff is just incredible - friendly, helpful, kind, accommodating. THANK YOU ALL!

After approx. 8 weeks of treatment for headaches, facial pain, ear congestion and neck pain I feel great! I realize that not everyone may experience the same results, but I just wanted to share my experience to let others know that there is hope for pain caused by TMJ. The office staff is professional and Dr. Balatgek explains everything in great detail before you decide if you want to proceed with treatment. Thank you Dr. Balatgek and staff for all you've done for me.

Very Highly recommend Dr. Tammy! TMJ and sleep apnea treatment is going well. Migraines are decreasing. Can't say enough about her positive spirit and that if her staff. Only doctor in 200 miles who actually knows how to effectively treat TMJ and TM disorders as well as sleep apnea. Avoid surgery...this IS the route to go, and this is the place to be treated.

THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO IF YOU HAVE TMJ AND/OR SLEEP APNEA AND YOU WANT TO HAVE IT TREATED CORRECTLY. No where else on the east coast can you find a doc who truly knows how to treat these disorders. She is changing my life, after surgeons gave up on me. After years of suffering, I'm healing. Also, you'll never find a nicer staff or doctor ANYWHERE. Highly Recommend!
