Dr. Michael Gelb, DDS, MS Testimonials

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 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

sues. Thank you Dr. Gelb and all of you at The Gelb Center: you are all fantastic and empathetic doctors and your staff is professional and helpful.

Dawn T. Manhattan, NY

I am an Obstructive Sleep Apnea patient and Dr. Gelb literally changed my life, and maybe even saved it.

Neal S. Manhattan, NY

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

Peter K. Manhattan, NY

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

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

Caroline B.

By far the best doctor in NYC. I highly recommend people see him because TMJ can be solved and linked to so many daily problems!

Erica M. Brooklyn, NY

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

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

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

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

Erin B, New York, NY

He gave me jaw appliances one for the day and one for the night and they seriously help. He really knows what he is doing and I couldn’t be more happy to have found the best jaw doc in NYC.

Ariel L. New York, NY

Dr. Michael Gelb is world-renowned and extremely knowledgeable in disorders of the TMJ. He is also well-versed in Sleep Medicine.

Nick M. Manhattan, 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

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