Isaac Hodge

I have known Dr. Movahed for almost 10 years now. He has kept up with my case throughout that time, and not once have I met with him where he hasn’t had a smile on his face. I’ve been going through orthodontics for most of that time in an attempt to minimize my excessive underbite, but it became clear a number of years ago that I should have corrective jaw surgery with Dr. Movahed.

Jessica Harris

I am so grateful for Dr. Movahed’s professional care. A few years after being in a car accident in which I was rear -ended, I began having significant TMJ pain. My lower jaw and my chin was receding. I was having difficulty chewing food and dealing with daily pain. Dr. Movahed did a very thorough diagnosis and treatment plan which involved double jaw surgery with prosthetic TMJ replacement.

Jessica Bruno

Five stars isn’t enough. Words aren’t enough! I cannot overstate how wonderful Dr. Movahed and his staff are. I’ve never felt more cared for by a doctor or medical office. Dr. Movahed wants the best for his patients, and works hard to ensure they get just that. I’ve had two failed jaw surgeries and have been let down time and time again by other providers.

Tom Haerr

We could not have asked for a better experience. Exceptional care from start to finish. Communication was clear and concise throughout the process. As nervous as a parent can be about their child having major jaw surgery, Dr Movahed was able to put us and more importantly our son’s mind at ease.

Lindsay

My experience with Dr. Movahed was great- he’s very charismatic and thorough. His office and staff are very welcoming and kind. He reassured me countless times that if I had any questions not to hesitate to reach out to him. He even performed some miracles with last minute hospital scheduling. They prepared us for everything, which made recovery as smooth as possible. I am also very happy with the results and very grateful for him and the wonderful staff.

Toneta Dade

Overall, I am beyond grateful that I went through with the procedure. I went into the procedure expecting minor changes to my profile, but the results are far better than anyone anticipated (for the better)! If you are considering surgery (or highly against it like I was) I recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Movahed and giving him a chance to walk you through the experience as he did with me.

Troy B

I recently had double jaw surgery with Dr. Movahed. He did an amazing job! He opened up my airway and now it feels like Im breathing for the first time. Now I dream when I sleep…I wake up with energy…brain fog and fatigue have disappeared…I have more energy to play with my kids…This has truly been life changing…

Brooke Van Groningen

It’s hard to put into words how impactful the last 3 years have been working with Dr. Movahed and his staff. He was extremely confident in our next steps along the way, optimistic, and realistic all at the same time. Highly recommend joining team Movahed.

Paula Spinner

I just had my year check up for my total jaw joint replacement surgery. I cannot thank Dr Movahed and his team for what they have done for me. My quality of life has changed because of Dr Movahed’s excellence. He has made a scary situation so much easier to go through. I cannot sing his praises enough.
