Patient

Peggy A.

If you have TMJ issues, you must visit TMJ Physical Therapy in Woodstock, Georgia. My TMJ prevented me from opening my mouth, difficulty eating and basic tasks such as brushing my teeth. I had an initial consultation via the phone with Dr. Brendan Glackin and I was immediately impressed with his concern with my issues. He suggested a few things I could do on my own but I never felt that I was pressed or pushed into a visit. BUT I did visit and after four sessions of dry needling and physical therapy by Dr. Glackin, I am SO improved. I had other options of providers but he is so caring, understanding and professional that I am thrilled I chose Dr. Glackin.

Dr. Glackin is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. He is also very patient, and has a wonderful way of connecting with my daughter and making sure she understands how to help her TMJ improve. She felt significantly improved immediately and continues to trend better with each visit. She's getting great tools to continue her healing throughout the week. We 100% recommend him.

Patient

Rhea S.

I struggled with chronic TMJ pain for months before finding Dr. Glackin. Within just a couple of sessions, he made significant progress where other medical professionals had not. Dr. Glackin is incredibly personable, respectful, and truly listens to his patients. It was amazing to describe my symptoms and have him immediately understand, explain the underlying anatomy and physiology, and then work through it during the session.
