Amazing doctor in Dr. Virk; warm personality, open mind, very well informed and professional. Staff is lovely, kind and courteous. Couldn't ask for a better TMJ dentist. We drive 45 min + to come see them. Worth it, every time.

Dr. Virk helped our daughter through serious and traumatic jaw injury she got while cheerleading. We were told surgery is the only option by 2 others doctors but still wanted to give Dr Virk’s treatment plan a chance and we are glad we saw him. He did not only helped her with the pain and frequent jaw dislocation but also provided much need counseling to help ease her fears and anxiety. He was always available if we any questions and didn’t hesitate at all to work as a team with other doctors to provide best possible care.

Dr. Virk has been managing my slep apnea for about a year now (after i refused to use cpap machine). He is knowledgeable, caring and compassionate and is alwyas very approachable when you need help. He will always go the extra mile to make sure I am doing well and keeps my other doctors informed about my progress. I have recommended him to friends who have been very happy with him. And he always takes the time to make sure you fully understand your problem. First rate doctor....Rebecca

“Although Dr. Virk was determining the cause for my jaw and neck pain, he probably saved me from having serious health issues down the road by referring me to a sleep doctor which led to my diagnosis of sleep apnea. I'm so happy I decided to visit him and I am confident that I am in good hands. He made every effort he could to find the cause and lessen my pain and manage my sleep apnea at same time. I will always be grateful to him.”

I was very anxious about having injections done in my face for my jaw pain but Dr. Virk was very attentive and supportive. The procedure was done with great precision and respect for my concerns. He was very informative and helpful to address my anxiousness regarding procedure. His office also followed up next day to check on how I was feeling after my visit which was very thoughtful and professional.

Dr. Virk is an amazing doctor, one of the very few true jaw specialist . He truly cares about his patients as he takes the time to listen and find the actual cause. Thanks to him I was able to avoid unnecessary dental treatment that was recommended to fix my TMJ issues. It is refreshing to find someone who doesn't dismiss your symptoms and just write you a prescription . Instead he gives his best and explain every possible treatment option in great detail. It has taken me a long time but I am truly grateful to have found him.
