“My journey with Dr. Rashida has been nothing short of life changing. When I first found Dr Rashida I was suffering from chronic TMJ pain and everything that goes with it. Debilitating headaches, neck pain, unbearable facial and jaw tenderness, ear fullness, locking of the joint and difficulty eating leading to severe weight loss. I had visited 10 dentists, three specialists, a surgeon, a neurologist for brain scans, physios, osteos, and chiropractors - I was desperate to find and answer and do anything relieve my pain...eventually I was told it may all just be in my head and to seek psychiatric help. The lack of worldwide knowledge on TMJ is terrifying, people are living in pain without any answers. If it wasn’t for Dr Rashida, I would still be in that place. From the moment I sat in front of her, it was clear she was the right doctor. Her in-depth knowledge of the disorder, her gentle and sympathetic manner and mostly importantly her absolute conviction that she could help was what encouraged me to stop all other treatments and be seen only by her.
After the first appointment I was immediately 50% better than I had been in years. We then embarked on a very complicated journey to restore my bite and undo the work that had been done by others with very little knowledge of the disorder.
We are now at the end of the TMJ journey and I am back to my old self. The pain has almost completely disappeared, I can live a normal life without medication and can also smile with confidence. I can not thank Dr Rashida enough. She is so much more than a dentist, this woman changes lives!”
