“Cant recommend highly enough!”
I had a different oral appliance (mouth guard) for my sleep apnea, but lost half of it while traveling. I was a bit reluctant to try a new device, but it turned out it was the best thing that ever happened! The device that Dr. Abramson made for me is easier to use, easier to keep clean, and works ten times better than my old device. I've had it for six months now and have noticed improved sleep quality even over my previous device. Dr. Abramson (and his staff) are fabulous!

I have been coming to Dr. Abramson for cranial manipulation treatment for my chronic jaw pain on and off for the past 5 years, and every time, I leave feeling renewed and pain-free. I only had experience with western medicine when I first came in, so I was pretty weirded out by cranial manipulation. But now I recommend Dr. Abramson to all of my friends who experience jaw pain -- he has given me tips on how to relax my jaw on my own so that I have to come see him less frequently, offers clear explanations about his methods whenever I have questions, and is very thorough in his treatment.
“Highly recommend -- I leave pain-free every time.”

he was the first person to diagnose what was causing my jaw pain, not just prescribe a mouth guard at night to keep my teeth from clenching.

After spending 9 months unable to sleep I desperately searched for some type of medical help with my severe sleep apnea. After exhaustive internet searching I found Dr. Abramson and after reading about his work, watching his tutorials on utube and reading his patient's testimonials I scraped up the funds I needed to get his help. His staff is extraordinary, warm and helpful do not begin to describe them, I'd like to go out to lunch with them because they are such wonderful women! I felt like I was being take seriously for the first time since my sleep apnea diagnosis (and discovering that I cannot adjust to using a CPAP machine). The sleep clinic I went to just dropped me after learning that I can't use the CPAP, they had no other options for me to consider and I felt abandoned and depressed. When I visited Dr Abramson I asked a ton of questions and got complete, truthful answers. The fitting process was fine and then I waited anxiously for my device to be ready. I have now had it for a week and, although it took a few nights to adjust to, after the second night I felt comfortable with it in my mouth. Amazingly, I have been sleeping almost normally for the past 4 nights. I can't believe the difference so far...no more waking ever 2 hours gasping and feeling like I'm going to die! I will post again in a couple of weeks to give an update on my progress.

I had the sudden onset of terrible pain that affected from my TM joint to my temporal area and extending behind my ear. A diagnosis of TMJ disorder was properly made based on physical exam and clinical history. A holistic approach to reducing pain was effective within 1 and 1/2 week. This included a lower jaw splint, trigger point injections, electro-acupuncture and dynamic manipulation of the area of the skull and neck that were the source of or affected by the problem. Within three weeks all pain was resolved.

Dr. Abramson and his staff provided me with excellent service. I'm extremely satisfied with the treatment I received, and my the issue for which I sought help, (Severe Sleep Apnea), has been completely eradicated. How do I know this? He suggested a free app for my phone which records me as I sleep and rates my (former) snoring. I went from "Epic" on the Snoring Scale, (the app has cute terms for the level of severity), down to simply loud breathing. I can even listen to samples of my sleep sounds... and it sounds like I'm sleeping well. Thank you very much!

I had a chronic, non-stop headache for 6 weeks straight. I visited a number of doctors who thought it was related to TMJ issues and Dr. Abramson was referred to me. He diagnosed my issues causing my headaches right away and fitted me with a lower jaw splint. Within 3 visits and treatments my headache is gone and my bite feels normal with the splint. I am so thankful that I found Dr. Abramson.

Dr Abramson is a great doctor. He has tons of experience and customizes the treatment plan based on your unique circumstances. He's also an expert on things like mindfulness and brings that into the treatment when it makes sense. He spends a lot of time on each visit - and it's always fun talking to him.
