Testimonials:

Dr. Michael Gelb is world-renowned and extremely knowledgeable in disorders of the TMJ. He is also well-versed in Sleep Medicine. He lectures locally, nationally and internationally as he is the “go-to-source”. He is a friend who is always willing to give a helping hand no matter what the situation. Though his fees are reasonably priced, it is well worth going to someone who helped write the book on TMD with his father and has a patented oral device that he created and bears his name When I have a challenging case that I cannot handle, I refer them to the last source, Dr. Michael Gelb because if he can’t help them, no one else can! By the way, I would not pay attention to the hate speech from people that are not necessarily patients. In fact, they might even be the competition. I highly recommend The Gelb Center.

Thankyou Dr. Gelb. Wait – let me say it 1 more time: Thank you Dr. Gelb. My TMJ really screwed with my day to day life. Head in a vice, Masseter pain – the whole nine yards. Saw dentists, oral surgeons, tried bite plates, heat, Advil, etc. Maybe I’ll get some pain alleviation for a few days – but then it was right back. I knew I had to find a TMJ specialist – so I made my way to Dr. Gelb’s office. I was a bit skeptical as I really only see doctors that are recommended to me, or that I’ve been seeing for years. Dr. Gelb & his staff were extremely friendly – listened to everything I had to say – were open – and most of all explained what was wrong – and what I needed to do to get better. He made me a few different mouth guards (daytime/nighttime) – and referred me to a physical therapist (Integrative PT of NYC). It’s been about 2 months since my initial consultation and my improvement is pretty insane. I’m still nervous the TMJ may resurface, but this is the longest I’ve gone in a while without any TMJ pain. The mouth guards work (and don’t disrupt my daily routine) – and physical therapy has been incredible. Even when I came back for my follow-up, Dr. Gelb stopped what he was doing, came into see me, sat down, spoke to me, went over improvements/next steps – and was extremely attentive. TMJ sucks .. thankfully the tri-state area has the Gelb Center.

I will never forget the day I woke up with my jaw locked into place, and I will never forget the way Dr. Gelb helped me recover. Dr. Gelb worked with me to make sure I was feeling better, crafting several mouth guards for me with the utmost care. Not only is he an incredible doctor, but he also has a great bedside manner. He makes you feel so comfortable and confident in your health. I would recommend Dr. Gelb to anyone who has had any TMJ/jaw pain issues. He is simply the best.

Dr. Gelb has a marvelous office and staff. I consulted him for recurrent TMJ dysfunction and related persistent and torturous tinnitus problems. He worked with dispatch, used the most advanced technology, fitted me perfectly for devices and always displayed good humor and empathy. In just two months, my problems have been remedied.His reputation as a leading specialist in this area is well-deserved. I highly recommend his services for these treatments.

I have been seeing Dr. Gelb for a while now and he is actually the best! I have severe TMJ pain and without his help, I would be crying every day. 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.

I cannot say enough positive good things about Dr. Gelb and his staff. I came to him (very skeptical I might add) and he turned my life around for the better almost immediately. I had been misdiagnosed for years before this appointment. He was the first doctor in a long time that actually listened, made a plan and followed through with me every step of the way. His staff is friendly, first rate and very attentive. He made me 2 appliances at first and I got immediate relief day and night. He also recommended physical therapy and that was a great help.
I now have no headaches and most important I’m able to get a good night’s sleep. The process might be considered lengthy by some but completely worth it if you’re suffering.

I could never say enough good about DR.Gelb …he literally saved my life!!..I went to 6 doctors, yes 6! Without any of them know why I was having terrible Ear fullness and Titus that kept me up throughout the night …I had to actually take a LOA from work because it became so difficult to deal with that I became super depressed and felt so bad for my 8-year-old son..it was true torture…the upsetting moment after leaving every doctor with unanswered questions as to why??? I had a brain MRI, I had multiple hearing tests I was placed on anti-inflammatory medicine. NOTHING worked, finally, an ENT said maybe TMJ? that’s when my mother found DR. Gelb … the CAT scan showed my jaw had basically collapsed on my ear and was blocking a huge part of my airway which caused a struggle to breathe at night….yes it’s a cost center but I would spend every dollar because it is worth it ,I spent 400 on a mouth guard from my dentist prior that did absolutely nothing…less than 24 hours after wearing these mouth pieces from DR. Gelb my ear opened up because the mouth piece already began to reconfigure my jaw ..by my next visit all my issues were practically gone those mouth pieces are Gold!!!!! Dr. Gelb is my GOD send .. not only did they help my jaw.. but I stopped snoring like a bear and rarely get migraines like I used to quite frequently … This man is amazing … I love you Dr.Gelb and forever thankful to you.

I’ve been suffering from severe (sometimes week long) migraines for the past two years related to TMJ issues from neck surgery. I’ve seen an ENT the past 9 months who only gave me botox which did provide short-term relief. However, I decided to switch to Dr. Gelb as I needed a specialist for a long-term solution. From the start of my interactions with the team through meeting and being treated by Dr. Gelb, the process was seamless and I felt very comfortable and more informed than ever. I was impressed with the level of administrative and medical professionalism- they go out of their way to ensure an in-depth evaluation is done for not only a treatment plan but to work with your insurance company to help with coverage. An in-depth evaluation was done and more importantly, Dr. Gelb explained everything to me in a way I could understand. Very please. 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.

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. The medical assistants are informative and realign my bite guards to adjust for improvements. I can tell the difference in these past months. I do EXACTLY what they tell me and so far so good! Thanks to Dr. Gelb I have less tension and my profile back!

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