Moodt James DMD

Dr. Moodt does TMJ. That’s what he does, and that’s what he’s good at.
A few things to note:
1. He does not accept insurance. Read again. He is NOT an insurance provider.
2. You WILL pay out of pocket and at the time of your appointment.
3. They do accept Care Credit and will provide you with the information re: applying for Care Credit if you so desire.
Dr. M knows his stuff. He is a TMJ specialist for a reason; I’ve even heard him referred to as the TMJ guru. The man has done this stuff for years and you’re not going to get this care from someone else. Trust me. I attempted a visit with another «TMJ Specialist». I called, I asked, does he do this type of service? Oh yes, I was told. $ 40 co-​pay, a panoramic xRay later, and I was phoning Dr. M to schedule an appointment cause this «specialist» referred me to Dr. M too…
Let me set the record straight. While you will pay out of pocket, the office WILL submit to your insurance companies. So you may be reimbursed if your insurance works with that, so all is not lost.
Staff: Pleasant.
Office: Dated. Clean. My complaint is they have plug-​in air fresheners and I’m scent-​sensitive so this sets my allergies off when I visit. They did remove it upon request though.
Ease of Appointment Making — Very Easy. They make the appointment, mail you information prior to you going so you’re prepared re: Care Credit, paying up front, and have all your information filled out so you’re not doing that in the waiting room. If you need follow-​up appointments they work with you to get the best time for your schedule.
Bedside Manner — Fine. I was happy. Dr. M obviously has been doing this for a while & has his routine which worked for me. He gave me the amount of time I needed. He worked with me to get my bite guard adjusted comfortably (which took some time) and told me to call if I felt it wasn’t working right. His language and explanations were fine and I didn’t feel like he was talking down to me, or above me.
All in all, I’d recommend the man. While I get why he doesn’t do the insurance thing, I wish he would. But, regardless, he has my $$$, and I hopefully soon, will have less TMJ symptoms.
