Your provider is concerned with your whole body health by recommending an evaluation by Dr. Klauer and our staff! He/She has received additional education to recognize signs and symptoms of TMD, Craniofacial Pain, Headaches and Sleep Disordered Breathing. More than likely your provider has mutual patients with Dr. Klauer or has heard of the life changing treatment he provides. A recommendation for evaluation to our office is the first step in your healing journey and we are pleased to welcome you to the practice.
- To learn more about TMD, Craniofacial Pain or Headaches, please visit TMD/Head and Facial Pain for information on common symptoms, diagnosing and treatment plus take the TMD Pain Quiz.
- Those recommended for Sleep Apnea, can visit Sleep Disorders for symptoms, diagnosing and treatment and take our Sleep Disorder Quiz.
You may have received New Patient Paperwork from your provider, please be sure to return to the practice 24 hours in advance of your consultation. If you did not, you can find that and other valuable information on the Patient Portal.
To best familiarize you with the process we have outlined the initial steps:
- New Patient Consultation: In this appointment your doctor will review your medical history and determine if you are a candidate for a Comprehensive Examination and probable treatment in our office.
- Comprehensive Examination: In this appointment the doctor and his clinical team gather additional diagnostic information including, but not limited to, a CBCT Scan, Joint Vibration Analysis, Diagnostic Photos and Motor Nerve Reflex Testing. Armed with this information, we answer three key questions that all patients have; What is wrong, what we can do to help and how long it will take? With certain treatment plans, we can begin treatment the same day. If an oral appliance is selected as part of your treatment plan, your doctor will choose from one of the 110+ FDA Approved appliances that is best suited for your individual needs.
