Sleep Apnea And Weight Gain

Sleep Apnea, TMD & Sleep Apnea ClinicBy Dr. KushnerNovember 16, 2020

Sleep Apnea And Weight Gain The quarantine 15.

Professional and courteous interactions from each staff member, from the first phone call to being fitted for TMD night gear. Everyone is nice, polite, patient, and thoughtful. Dr Kushner offered thorough education about my condition, as well as patiently answered my questions. In addition, the office seems nicer than the previous location in Poulsbo in my opinion.

I'd give them 10 stars if I could! Never have I been so grateful and impressed by a clinic and every employee/professional there.I found them by googling TMD, and from my initial call requesting an appointment, to the completion of my session with Dr. Kushner, I felt well cared for. The clinic itself is beautiful and new. The staff from receptionists to Dr. Kushner, were all helpful, fun, interested, knowledgeable, professional and took time with me in a way that is way out of the ordinary these days.I walked out having learned a lot, feeling well heard, with a treatment program that made sense and Is solving my problem. I hit the jackpot! You can, too.

Very impressed by Dr. Kushner and her terrific team! I now believe that after suffering from mild but chronic sleep apnea condition for more years than I can remember...there is indeed hope!Could never tolerate CPAP machines ever. I truly believe a dental appliance device is my best hope and looking very hopefully to it alleviating my condition.Dr. Kushner's book is absolutely superb. Have already recommended to a fellow sleep apneac' to acquire this text. For that matter, I will highly recommend the book to anyone that is afflicted with this condition.Thanks!Robert P.

If I could rate more than 5, I would! One issue after the other was addressed, from TMD to sleep apnea diagnosis; before then, providers labeled my symptoms as "diffuse pain". I was validated not only by this diagnosis, but the staff. I worked with Dr. Kushner, Nancy, Kayla, Lindsay, Vivian and Susan (I literally love them all). The standard of care there is so wonderful, and I felt supported through my transition from constant pain and inflammation, to relief and rest. Every part of my life started to improve! Less irritation, ability to focus, I could READ AGAIN FOLKS. There is no rating scale great enough! I'm 27, and having sleep apnea isn't something I thought affected younger people, and it surprised my primary care doctor too. I've been talking to almost everyone about getting checked for sleep disturbance/sleep apnea/TMD. Our sleep is so important. Otherwise, we can't heal, and I mean that in every sense of the word.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with the entire staff at Dr. Kushner’s office. I have had TMJ for years and had an awful dentist in Virginia perform an unnecessary realignment on my mouth, so I was a unique case. When I first came in, I was feeling like I couldn’t get relief for my jaw pain, and I was exhausted.When I got the mouthpiece initially, it brought my lower jaw forward and it felt great. I yawned after the first couple nights sleeping with it and my jaw cracked, as if it was cracking back into proper alignment after being off for several years. My husband noticed a significant reduction in my snoring right away. My husband said my face even looks better, that my jaw and facial structure look like they should be. I feel rested.If I had to describe the staff at the office with one word, I’d use “thorough.” At this point I’ve been in for multiple appointments. Each time the staff checks the mouthpiece and modifies it to make sure it’s perfect. I truly appreciate coming in for multiple modifications to get it just right.Now Dr. Kushner wants a sleep study, and I am eager to see how that goes. I encourage anyone who is having jaw pain or related issues to come see the staff here. You have nothing to lose, but you do have a better quality of life to gain.

Words cannot describe how thankful I am to Dr. Kushner and her AMAZING team! I came in with extraordinary pain in my jaw, and not only did they genuinely care, they were able to get me in quickly and get my pain figured out and fixed! It is clear that Dr. Kushner treats her staff very well and they love what they do. I couldn't believe how happy they all were for me when my pain was reduced! This is an amazing place and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone experiencing TMD or sleep apnea issues.

Dr. Kushner and her staff, in Poulsbo, WA, have provided friendly and professional services during my treatment for excessive snoring. The doctor correctly diagnosed my problem and identified special conditions in my physiology that had caused a previous practitioner's treatment to fail. The result was a comfortable mouth appliance that cut my Snore Lab scores from the teens and twenties to below 5, consistently. I highly recommend Tanya Kushner, DDS for treatment for snoring.

I always get really anxious going to doctors, especially ones I haven't been to before. I felt welcome right when I went inside and was offered cold juice or water while I waited for my appointment. Dr. Kushner really shed light on my jaw pain and I am excited to finally have relief after years of jaw issues. Everyone in the office was very pleasant and I am happy to continue my healing journey at this clinic.

I was referred to TMD & Sleep Apnea Clinic by my dentist, Melissa Marr, (Sequim). I have both TMD and Sleep Apnea. I am very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Kushner and her highly qualified staff. After issues with a C-Pap unit, I have relied on an oral sleep apnea device for more than 10 years. My appliance recently broke and I needed a replacement but my previous dentist had retired.I was able to see Dr. Kushner very quickly and am on the road to a new and improved sleep apnea device. Dr. Kushner referred me for an updated sleep study since my previous study is 10 years old. My sleep apnea device has been ordered and I am looking forward to be able to sleep more easily in the near future.

I should have come to TMD Poulsbo a long time ago, and before the multiple attempts with cheap and uncomfortable mouth appliances.TMD is a professional, personable and efficient team that makes the appliance fitting and follow up experience enjoyable. They care about your well being. I would not hesitate to recommend their life changing services to friends and family.

I’ve worked for Dr. Kushner for many years and I’ve seen hundreds of patients got better in this clinic. Dr. Kushner and her team truly care for each patient and takes pride on what they can do to create a better quality of life for each patient. If you are having difficulty with c-pap, having sleep issues or TMJ problems, especially if you never got help or answers from anyone before I highly recommend going see her. She will assess all of your medical conditions and give you a thorough diagnosis. There is not many doctors like her definitely not in the area. If you are wanting to get better and ready to get better she is the one to go. You will be in good hands and you won’t be disappointed. I’ve cherished every day I have worked with her to create better and healthier lives for every patient that comes through the door.

I am a sleep dentist who had a practice in Gig Harbor, WA. I am in the process of relocating to Pittsburgh, PA and have handpicked Dr. Kushner to take over care of the patients I was treating. I have also encouraged healthcare providers who referred to me to forward referrals to Dr. Kushner. She is an amazing practitioner who not only has the utmost knowledge in her field of sleep dentistry and tempromandibular joint disorders, but she is also so caring and compassionate. As a provider who values her patients, I feel so fortunate to be able to have someone as skilled and caring as Dr. Kushner to take over my practice.

With a night-time retainer and physical therapy for TMD at Bremerton's Kitsap Physical Therapy, my pain has been reduced and even the end-of-day ache is going away with exercises I can do myself. I totally recommend TMD and Sleep Apnea Clinic of Poulsbo. Thank you!!

My wife's experience :I can't rave enough about this office. I was referred to Dr. Kushner in January of 2020 for severe TMJ pain. I'd had this pain since June 2019 (I'd had episodes of this pain in the past, but with this episode, it didn't go away in the typical few days), was self medicating with over the counter pain meds, avoiding hard foods, and even needed steroid injections. The headaches I was getting daily from the pain was making it hard to function (as a mom of three little ones, this was rough).With thorough diagnostics, Dr. Kushner and her team made a plan, and after just a day wearing my custom device, I started to notice a difference. I actually never got the severe headaches again, and the pain lessened. During the six+ months of treatment (little delay due to covid), I had some flare ups of the pain, but overall, there was a steady improvement. Now I feel very stable and am out of pain. I eat hard foods. I open so much wider, and the fog has lifted completely from the constant headaches I was experiencing.The whole team at Dr. Kushner's clinic is amazing. They work hard to have good communication, and they're all very knowledgeable about the TMJ. All the time, energy, and money put into this was well spent and I'm so thankful to have found my way to their caring and capable hands.

Dr. Kushner and her team are miracle workers. After years of jaw pain and continued struggles with my bite—she found a way to fix it! Haha, I wish I could explain more in medical terms, but that is not my area of expertise. All I know is that she treated me like a real person, and her team exemplifies excellent customer service. I suppose that’s normal with a dynamic and caring leader. Thank you.

The TMD & Sleep Apnea Clinic was a very good experience. It was informative with absolutely no pressure to pick a particular mouthpiece for my Sleep Apnea.

I was referred to this place from my doctor. I at first was struggling to advocate for myself because my insurance was saying one thing to me and the clinic was saying another.
But Dr. Kushner and the front desk (I think Lindsey) are great. Always worked with me to help, I was in tears initially from the jaw pain I was in. They got me in for Botox and the pain is gone.
They have air purifiers in every room also which was nice during the pandemic.
So yes, I would recommend this place if you’re in Jaw pain.

Very efficient from scheduling my appointment to my visit with Dr. Tanya Kushner. Thank you for the free book written by Dr. Kushner titled “Wake Up To Better Sleep”. Great information on sleep apnea that I didn’t know. Looking forward to my new appliance and better sleep!

I can't rave enough about this office. I was referred to Dr. Kushner in January of 2020 for severe TMJ pain. I'd had this pain since June 2019 (I'd had episodes of this pain in the past, but with this episode, it didn't go away in the typical few days), was self medicating with over the counter pain meds, avoiding hard foods, and even needed steroid injections. The headaches I was getting daily from the pain was making it hard to function (as a mom of three little ones, this was rough).
With thorough diagnostics, Dr. Kushner and her team made a plan, and after just a day wearing my custom device, I started to notice a difference. I actually never got the severe headaches again, and the pain lessened. During the six+ months of treatment (little delay due to covid), I had some flare ups of the pain, but overall, there was a steady improvement. Now I feel very stable and am out of pain. I eat hard foods. I open so much wider, and the fog has lifted completely from the constant headaches I was experiencing.
The whole team at Dr. Kushner's clinic is amazing. They work hard to have good communication, and they're all very knowledgeable about the TMJ. All the time, energy, and money put into this was well spent and I'm so thankful to have found my way to their caring and capable hands.

I was visiting from out of the area and developed a serious TMD problem. The office staff were very helpful in getting a referral, insurance authorization and fast appointment.
Dr. Kushner promptly diagnosed and corrected the situation.
I highly recommend the TMD and Sleep Apnea Clinic to anyone needing this type of medical service. Much thanks to Dr. Kushner and staff.

I snore! One year ago I had a sleep study. Although I was not diagnosed with sleep apnea the snoring impacted the quality of both my sleep and my husbands. The recommended anti-snoring dental mouthpiece I use to help eliminate my snoring is somewhat effective but shifted my teeth and affected my bite. Dr. K gave me options and hope. She is professional, caring and thorough. She knows her stuff. I left the appointment with specific strategies to try to determine best way forward. 5 stars.

Dr. Barrett and his staff at TMD & TMJ Sleep Apnea Clinic in Poulsbo are outstanding ! The office is clean, modern and the perfect mix of professional yet personable! Dr. Barrett came highly recommended and is respected by medical professionals throughout the Kitsap Peninsula. Now, as his patient I’m seeing why! TMD & TMJ are painful conditions. Dr. Barrett and staff genuinely care, go above and beyond using their knowledge and expertise to help with my condition. I trust them wholeheartedly! The entire team spend endless time educating me so that I understand the plan of care necessary to reach goals tailored to me individually and relieve my pain.

Dr. Barrett is a one of a kind doctor passionate about his work. He takes the extra time to ensure you understand everything that is going on. He genuinely cares about his patients and is determined to ease your pain. I've never known a doctor that calls you from his personal phone when he's working or not working to see how your doing. It's like having your wise loving grand-father as your doctor. The staff at the front desk are so kind, personable, understanding, and sometimes funny. They all have great energy vibes. I HAVE many specialty care doctors and HAVE HAD many specialty care doctors but NONE like DR. Barrett.

When I went to the clinic I admit to being a bit skeptical that anything would help my jaw. After experiencing jaw pain whenever I ate, locked jaws in the morning, crunching and clicking, I had to try something. Dr. Kushner and her staff were amazing! After she explained to me how the treatment works I was willing to give it a try. I wore an appliance (like a night guard) in my mouth for a few months. Slowly but surely my jaw started to improve. I can now eat bacon! Dr. Kushner explains things very well and answered all my questions. She is very competent and thorough. The entire staff is very friendly. A shout out to Bonnie (Dr. Kushner's assistant) and Sue in accounting who was amazing and patient with all my questions about the insurance end of things. I would highly recommend this doctor and her staff! Thank you for making my life better!🤩
