Dr. Michael Gelb, DDS, MS Testimonials

Best hands down… They care about your total well-being! Highly recommend the Gelb Center if you are suffering from TMJ or sleep apnea!

Maria Cuozzo-Wetzel

It has been almost a year since you and your wonderful staff changed my life. By the time you all had reset the order of my bite and removed the pain in my jaw with your night and daytime appliances, my C-PAP machine for my “severe” sleep apnea was no longer needed and my sleep became quiet again. After I graduated from your excellent care, Dr. Barone recommended that I return to spend the night at the Weill Cornell Center for Sleep to get the definitive read on how well your reconstructive work had mastered my serious sleep apnea. In layman’s terms, the score for quality of my breathing while sleeping was something like a “1” and was the lowest score the Center had ever seen. I forwarded that report to you at that time. I do not expect to ever return to my C-PAP machine. Your and all your staff are truly masters of your craft!! I would recommend you heartily to anyone who has jaw, bite, or sleep apnea issues. You are the best in the business!

Sara H.

I cannot say enough positive good things about Dr. Gelb and his staff. I came to him and he turned my life around for the better almost immediately.

Mary T. Putnam Valley, NY

I intend to continue my treatment with the Dr and would recommend other migraine/TMJ sufferers to see Dr. Gelb, as finding a good practice is hard to come by.

Bryan M. New York, NY

Dr. Gelb is kind, compassionate and extraordinarily knowledgeable … I cannot recommend Dr. Gelb highly enough.

Peter K. Manhattan, NY

Class Act. Cured my TMJ. Wish I could give a higher review. Delivers on his promises.

Erin B, New York, NY

… I am so thankful for this man for renewing the lease on my life! You are without a doubt one of Gods Angels on earth.

Melissa Dawn

From the moment I walk into the time I leave, Dr. Gelb and his staff are compassionate, helpful and genuinely interested in making my jaw, and life, better.

Connie S. New York, NY

Excellent – very professional and efficient practice. Very nice staff and fabulous doctor.

Caroline B.

Dr. Michael Gelb is one of the movers and shakers in the field of research and development regarding the power TMJ dysfunction has to disrupt the health and well-being of an individual. He has patented many appliances to apply individualized methods of correction. This is most definitely not a one size fits all approach! I personally have had great success with his treatment.

Carol G.

I had a perfect experience with Dr. Gelb. He was patient, listened carefully to my issues and then fit me for a new appliance.

David F. Los Angeles, CA

I love Dr. Gelb’s energy, efficiency, and ability to make me laugh. His staff is great, very professional and always kind.

Henri V. Los Gatos, CA

Simply stated, Dr. Gelb is stellar! I can’t recommend him enough and can’t wait until I am free, with his help, from dealing with this chronic health issue.

Vanessa A. NY, NY

He really impressed me at my first two visits and he came very highly recommended. My mom was treated for TMJ by his dad and insisted that I only see Dr. Gelb since her results were 100% satisfactory.

Patty A. South Orange, NJ

Thankyou Dr. Gelb. Wait – let me say it one more time: Thank you Dr. Gelb … thankfully the tri-state area has the Gelb Center.

Brian R. Manhattan, NY
