Geron Philip R DMD

I came to Dr. Geron because my endodontist had suggested that I see an oral surgeon for TMJD. He was so thorough in his exam and interview, and when he was done he diagnosed a condition that tied together a number or symptoms that I had thought were unrelated. I have chronic headaches and Dr. Geron recommended a sleep test that determined that I am not getting enough oxygen at night and that grinding my teeth is related to that.
He gave me some trigger point injections in my jaw and I felt relief for the first time in forever.
Dr. Geron plans to get me fitted for a device that will prevent me from grinding my teeth as well as keep my airway open so that I can get more oxygen. He also says that a cpap machine can be connected to this device if the device itself is not enough. I am waiting for insurance approval for the device and I hope that happens soon.
Dr. Geron is very kind and also cares about not hurting you– he is very sensitive about causing discomfort– I didn’t have much, but he was very conscientious and concerned. I am sure he is great with extractions.
The first thing Dr. Geron did was a space age X-​ray of my whole head. This alone was more sophisticated than any other tests I have had regarding my teeth.
Dr. Geron is an oral surgeon but he also specializes with headaches and he does Botox for headaches/​TMJD which I am going to need but first we need to get the device approved, and insurance approval can be really slow.
Dr. Geron’s staff is AMAZING. So nice, and super professional. When my insurance processed something wrong, Morgan went above and beyond to help me resolve the issue. Dr. Geron and his staff are awesome. Morgan, who works with insurance approvals is really the best. She helped me to resolve something very complicated and annoying.
