Dr. Lewis Klapper

Absolutely horrific! I’m sooo upset! Not only has he received full payment for a defective device from BCBS but he is also charging my card monthly. Which was not per our agreement. The device is jagged and if I were to wear it my mouth would be split and bleeding a river. He won’t listen, he is rude, lack of compassion and Gayle claims they have a processing department… This isn’t a damn twelve person office. Who are you kidding. DO NOT GO THERE, THEY WILL RIPE YOU OFF.

I went to Dr. Klapper for my TMJ. I was told I have TMJ by my oral surgeon and dentist. Hoping Dr. Klapper would help me, he not only gave me a wrong diagnosis but he is very unprofessional. When I arrived to his office he had another patient in his room with the door wide open so people in the waiting area can hear and see everything. When I went in the room with him he kept the door open as well. I found that very rude and unprofessional and invasion of my privacy. Dr. Klapper told me I do not have TMJ and weeks after seeing him I am still in pain and saw 2 more doctors who told me I have TMJ. Seeing Dr. Klapper was a waste of time and money! I tried getting my money back but he refused. I would never recommend Dr. Klapper!

I was treated initially for severe TMJ by Dr. Klapper & his treatment worked. I re-​injured my jaw about a year later & sought his help again. My dogs had chewed the first splint I had and I hoped to get a break on the cost to replace it as I was a returning patient. I was shown a plastic baggie containing several chewed splints and he quipped, «This is what happens to splints that are left out.» I purchased another splint. The splint didn’t fit properly and I went back twice to have it modified. When I insisted it felt too tight Dr. Klapper’s demeanor became irritated and impatient. I never returned. My TMJ is flaring up again and I sought out a different orthodontist.
If bedside manner means nothing to you, then Dr. Klapper is your guy. If it IS, keep looking.

I found Dr. Klapper online once hoping that he would be the cure to my TMJ issues. After months of being in pain I finally saw him and he promoted his innovative treatment that involved spending $ 1,500. I was promised a cure to all of my problems in less than a month. After a month went by and nothing happened I was still in moderate pain, Dr. Klapper failed to explain to me why it wasn’t working. In fact his helping attitude changed to one that was impatient. After 3 months of his failed therapy I stopped and decided to look elsewhere. If anyone who reads this has had a failed treatment with him, please do not give up and do not listen to only one doctor’s theories on how to cure tmj. The real problem behind my tmj was a problem with occlusion and Dr. Klapper never ever checked it. After seeing Dr. Klapper and spending over $ 1,500 treatment, I finally found a dentist that helped me for much, much cheaper.
I would like to add the info of the dentist in the chicagoland area who helped cure my TMJ issues:
