I saw Dr. Walz in 2010. I was given a top and bottom appliance for my TMJ. After about 2 years of dealing with my problems getting worse and wearing this appliance that was extremely expensive and very uncomfortable, I just stopped seeing him. He NEVER listened to my complaints and he would tell me my bite was fine and the appliance was doing its job. I would leave the office feeling worse than the time before. Do to his lack of knowledge about how the jaw works and the other problems that could come from not being fixed CORRECTLY I ended up with a ruptured disc in my neck from the strain and stress on my jaw. After having a CERVICAL FIVE TO SEVEN ANTERIOR CERVICAL DISCECTOMY AND FUSION last year, I knew my jaw was still not right and had to find someone to help me. Luckily I found a different specialist who has helped me and in 3 weeks. I'm finally on the road to recovery. I honestly feel he should not be in practice and I'm surprised he hasn't had several law suits against him. I have suffered for over 12 years with headache/migraines a jaw that hurt so bad I couldn't. eat, ear pain and a bite that was not corrected but made worse. I'm only writing this now to help others. Listen to your body and if something doesn't feel right it's probably not! You can not force your jaw into a position if it's not meant to be in that position. It will only make your entire body out of line and things will being to break down. There are other TMJ specialists that can help and I would advise anyone reading this to go somewhere else.
