I came to Dr. Bublik to have my wisdom teeth out after hearing how bad the removal and healing process can be from my friends, the experience was nothing like the stories I was told. From the minute I came to the office I was welcomed and cared for the visit. All the assistance were very kind and kept me comfortable. Dr. Bublik did a great job I had no issues and healed perfectly fine with no swelling dry sockets after the appointment.

Before seeing Dr. Bublik, I felt hopeless. My TMJ symptoms were affecting nearly every aspect of my life, and I had begun to accept that chronic pain and discomfort were just something I would have to live with. My quality of life had suffered significantly, and I was struggling to find answers or lasting relief.
From my very first appointment, Dr. Bublik gave me hope. He took the time to listen, thoroughly evaluate my concerns, and explain my treatment options with compassion and expertise. Throughout the entire process, I felt supported, understood, and confident that I was in capable hands.
The improvement I’ve experienced has been life changing. Not only have my TMJ symptoms improved dramatically, but my overall quality of life has as well. I can enjoy daily activities again without constantly thinking about pain or discomfort. I truly feel like I have my life back.
I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Bublik and Sam for the care I received. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine concern for their patients make them exceptional. I would highly recommend Dr. Bublik to anyone struggling with TMJ issues and looking for a doctor who can make a real difference.

My experience was wonderful. I haven’t worked with Dr Bublik since he moved to Stratford-it’s nice to have he and his crew back. The dental assistant that worked with me was great! She put my mind at ease. I have no idea how to spell her name and I’m not going to embarrass myself by trying to spell it. Ha!

I came to Dr. Jan Bublik for severe TMJ pain and thanks to him, I've experienced profound relief. I came to him after being recommended for surgery by other providers to address the skeletal, joint, and nerve issues going on, but I wanted to see if there were any other options. While seemingly unconventional to my other providers (my general dentist is tracking my case and amazed at the progress of using a facemask and palate expander in an adult), the treatment I have received so far over the last 9 months has brought immense relief. One huge bonus is his experience working with those who have hypermobility/EDS, and the way he's able to pinpoint how certain treatments can work to get desired results within an individual case. He is kind, knowledgeable, and sees what needs to happen to get where we need to go. SO GLAD I did not move forward with surgery, and so grateful to have found him. I have recommended him to others, and will continue to do so.

Staff was friendly and helpful but the waiting for Dr. Bublik was a little more than I expected. I can understand if there was an emergency but Dway was the only person that bothered to tell me that he was running behind. At least the view out the window was somewhat interesting...I'll bring a book next appointment. On a happier note, my questions were answered to my satisfaction. Detailed information regarding further appointments was given & dates set. The wait was the only drawback. Looking forward to further appointments & the end results.
