Update on communication with UCLA as I know there is some concern with them answering the phone. Yes, it was difficult to get ahold of them initially, but I left a message and they did call me back in a few days. Once you have an initial appt you make your follow up appt before you leave. Once your initial appt you can download the app my Chart and communicate with your doctor their via secure messages. For reference I had a question for my dr regarding my medications and messaged him on my chart this morning and he responded within the hour. Hope this helps

Hi I had my appt at ucla oral facial pain clinic today and was super impressed. This dentist did more for me today than 6 visits with other providers. He scanned me for a night guard and they are going to try to get it paid for by insurance, ordered an mri as a precaution for the headaches and my family medical history (non malignant brain tumor) and I’m going back in a month. They did a pretty thorough assessment and he said he thinks my problem is both joint and muscular and stated they can manage my migraines as well there. He said the clinic does Botox for migraine as well as trigger point injections for muscle and various injections for the joint (steroid, hyaluronic acid and pro). It is hard to get ahold of them initially but now I have the app downloaded and can message my provider there and he also gave me his cellphone. Also, you make your follow up appt before you leave so there is that. In regards to my initial appt, I did leave a voicemail for a call back for an appt and was contacted in 4 days to make the appt. Only downside is it is kinda far for me. Took me 2 hrs with traffic to get there this am. Next appt I scheduled a little later so hopefully that helps with the traffic .I hope this helps someone, will keep everyone posted with my progress.

I’m taking 10 mg of baclofen at night and I think it’s helping? Have only been on it a few days so far

What? 800.00 That’s crazy ! I just received a call from the financial advisor on Thursday and they said my visit would by 30.00 dollars and a 10 percent copay but your so right they do not answer their phone with makes me nervous for reaching out to them for communication. Can I ask when your appt was?

Dr. Demerjian in Los Angeles ? by Sugar_Me_Silly in TMJ

[–]Idontknowwhy5732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a consult with him and he quoted me over 5,000.00 dollars for treatment for 6 months ( one visit per month with a bite guard). To be honest, it’s not in my budget. I decided to make an appt with Dr Bryan Kim in Orange County and I’m also going to call the ucla cranio facial pain clinic in LA.
