Reviews
"I have been a patient of Dr. Smith and the staff at Innovative Sleep and TMJ Center for over a year and I’ve had nothing but a great experience. They are very professional, but at the same time sincerely friendly and genuinely caring, and I appreciate that particularly when so many other places don’t have that attitude. As far as my treatment, it has gone very well and they’ve been very responsive to any needs or questions I’ve had." - Steve Radke.

"I can’t leave high enough praise for what they have done for my sleep. I didn’t believe them when they said I likely had sleep apnea but after the first sleep study they convinced me. Then, within days of wearing the appliance I started to actually sleep for long stretches of time. I went from waking up every hour to only waking up once a night to go to the bathroom. I’m no longer sleepy and feel rested every day! It’s been a remarkable difference and Misty made it even more so with her happy attitude and legitimate concern for my well being. Highly recommend!!!" - Nicole Neiswanger
