Dear Dr. Spahl:
This letter is a long-overdue “thank you” for all that you have done for our daughter Holly. She is a different person now, after having had treatment from you for very serious TMJ problems. She went from being an inactive teenager in much pain and discomfort three years ago, to a very active 22 year old today.
We would like to encourage you in your efforts to help these patients with many and varied symptoms. They probably have been shuffled from one Doctor to another, from one Orthodontist to another, from one Dentist to another, and even to “mental health” Doctors. Holly was one of these people, and the memory is not a pleasant one.
We’ll never forget the first day she saw you, and you could name her symptoms before she did. At last! Someone who understood, and seemed to have a solution! When you placed the first appliance in her mouth, she knew she had found the right doctor, and there was relief coming.
May God Bless you even more in your efforts. We are very thankful you had and have the knowledge, skill and courage to treat the TMJ problem in a way that is effective.
