I adore these folks. They are so thorough, kind, knowledgeable and will get to the root cause of your TMJ and sleep issues without throwing medication at you! My favorite kind of medical folks!! If you clench your teeth, grind your teeth or maybe you just can't wear a CPAP (LIKE ME!) Dr. K and her team can definitely help!

I'd give them 10 stars if I could! Never have I been so grateful and impressed by a clinic and every employee/professional there.I found them by googling TMD, and from my initial call requesting an appointment, to the completion of my session with Dr. Kushner, I felt well cared for. The clinic itself is beautiful and new. The staff from receptionists to Dr. Kushner, were all helpful, fun, interested, knowledgeable, professional and took time with me in a way that is way out of the ordinary these days.I walked out having learned a lot, feeling well heard, with a treatment program that made sense and Is solving my problem.

Robert W

Very impressed by Dr. Kushner and her terrific team! I now believe that after suffering from mild but chronic sleep apnea condition for more years than I can remember...there is indeed hope!Could never tolerate CPAP machines ever. I truly believe a dental appliance device is my best hope and looking very hopefully to it alleviating my condition.Dr. Kushner's book is absolutely superb. Have already recommended to a fellow sleep apneac' to acquire this text. For that matter, I will highly recommend the book to anyone that is afflicted with this condition.Thanks!Robert P.

Friendly, helpful, professional

Kate Lane

Dr. Kushner and her team are miracle workers. After years of jaw pain and continued struggles with my bite—she found a way to fix it! Haha, I wish I could explain more in medical terms, but that is not my area of expertise. All I know is that she treated me like a real person, and her team exemplifies excellent customer service. I suppose that’s normal with a dynamic and caring leader. Thank you.

Ehab M. Taha

Very professional and friendly, loved the whole visit,thanks guys

Lynda Sussman

The TMD & Sleep Apnea Clinic was a very good experience. It was informative with absolutely no pressure to pick a particular mouthpiece for my Sleep Apnea. I was allowed to pick the one that was best for me. When I walked out of there, I felt take care of. I would recommend Dr. Kushner and her clinic to anyone with Sleep Apnea.

FabU Look

It was a positive experience, from the moment I entered the office, I felt comfortable, and well received with gracious smile !I highly recommend Dr. Vivian Kusher

JL S.

Thoroughly explained my new appliance, answered my questions and handled my visit quickly and friendly. Well done!!

Kaitlynn Gracier

I’ve had a wonderful experience with the entire staff at Dr. Kushner’s office. I have had TMJ for years and had an awful dentist in Virginia perform an unnecessary realignment on my mouth, so I was a unique case. When I first came in, I was feeling like I couldn’t get relief for my jaw pain, and I was exhausted.

When I got the mouthpiece initially, it brought my lower jaw forward and it felt great. I yawned after the first couple nights sleeping with it and my jaw cracked, as if it was cracking back into proper alignment after being off for several years. My husband noticed a significant reduction in my snoring right away. My husband said my face even looks better, that my jaw and facial structure look like they should be. I feel rested.

If I had to describe the staff at the office with one word, I’d use “thorough.” At this point I’ve been in for multiple appointments. Each time the staff checks the mouthpiece and modifies it to make sure it’s perfect. I truly appreciate coming in for multiple modifications to get it just right.

Now Dr. Kushner wants a sleep study, and I am eager to see how that goes. I encourage anyone who is having jaw pain or related issues to come see the staff here. You have nothing to lose, but you do have a better quality of life to gain.

Jennifer McLinko

Very knowledgeable and listen to concerns. Great with follow up!

Rachel Ramsey

They are absolutely amazing!

Barbara Moretti

I was apprehensive before my appointment, but Dr. Kushner and Victoria answered all my questions and put me at ease. They both explained all details about the procedure, the appliance, and costs very clearly. I was impressed by the professionalism of the staff. They were all friendly and welcoming.

Richard Franklin

The entire staff was professional, friendly, very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I felt valued as a patient and am very happy with the service. I would highly recommend them.

Deborah Chance

Very pleased with the level of care and customer service! I'm really excited to have my new appliance to correct my sleep apnea and not have to use a CPAP machine. Highly recommend.

Richard & Kathryn Sparks

Good treatment from everyone, from front office as you check in, to assistants, to Dr. Kushner. If you need TMD treatment, I'd highly recommend it!

Jillian McClendon

Words cannot describe how thankful I am to Dr. Kushner and her AMAZING team! I came in with extraordinary pain in my jaw, and not only did they genuinely care, they were able to get me in quickly and get my pain figured out and fixed! It is clear that Dr. Kushner treats her staff very well and they love what they do. I couldn't believe how happy they all were for me when my pain was reduced! This is an amazing place and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone experiencing TMD or sleep apnea issues.

Mark Vantino

TMD clinic was absolutely wonderful to me during my visit! All questions were answered and their customer service was exceptional! I look forward to continuing my relationship with them! 5-star!!!

Debbie Madden

So impressed with the office, staff and process. Very efficient, compassionate and helpful. Looking forward to continuing as a patient while we work through my treatment.

Brittany Aupperle

I was referred to this place from my doctor. I at first was struggling to advocate for myself because my insurance was saying one thing to me and the clinic was saying another.
But Dr. Kushner and the front desk (I think Lindsey) are great. Always worked with me to help, I was in tears initially from the jaw pain I was in. They got me in for Botox and the pain is gone.
They have air purifiers in every room also which was nice during the pandemic.
So yes, I would recommend this place if you’re in Jaw pain.

Steven Davison

personable, professional, informative, and helpful

Romeo Ebuen

Great patient care.

Mark Platt

Dr. Kushner and her staff, in Poulsbo, WA, have provided friendly and professional services during my treatment for excessive snoring. The doctor correctly diagnosed my problem and identified special conditions in my physiology that had caused a previous practitioner's treatment to fail. The result was a comfortable mouth appliance that cut my Snore Lab scores from the teens and twenties to below 5, consistently. I highly recommend Tanya Kushner, DDS for treatment for snoring.

Mark Clark

Great service very helpful and answered all my questions

Kyla Pickard

I always get really anxious going to doctors, especially ones I haven't been to before. I felt welcome right when I went inside and was offered cold juice or water while I waited for my appointment. Dr. Kushner really shed light on my jaw pain and I am excited to finally have relief after years of jaw issues. Everyone in the office was very pleasant and I am happy to continue my healing journey at this clinic.

Veronica Edgar Velasquez

Where do I start? This team is awesome! They are not only professional and knowledgeable, but very caring and actually listen to you. They even checked in on me after my appointment to see how I was doing! I highly recommend this clinic!

Pat King

I was referred to TMD & Sleep Apnea Clinic by my dentist, Melissa Marr, (Sequim). I have both TMD and Sleep Apnea. I am very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Kushner and her highly qualified staff. After issues with a C-Pap unit, I have relied on an oral sleep apnea device for more than 10 years. My appliance recently broke and I needed a replacement but my previous dentist had retired.I was able to see Dr. Kushner very quickly and am on the road to a new and improved sleep apnea device. Dr. Kushner referred me for an updated sleep study since my previous study is 10 years old. My sleep apnea device has been ordered and I am looking forward to be able to sleep more easily in the near future.

Jane Ricci

I totally love the ladies I met. Everyone was so kind and very determined to help me figure out my pain. I’ve never been pleased at a doctor’s office.

Steve Ives

I should have come to TMD Poulsbo a long time ago, and before the multiple attempts with cheap and uncomfortable mouth appliances.TMD is a professional, personable and efficient team that makes the appliance fitting and follow up experience enjoyable. They care about your well being. I would not hesitate to recommend their life changing services to friends and family.

Susan Fisher

Easy to work with this staff! Good explanations of causes, treatments, outcomes. I very much enjoyed the services of this clinic.

Susan Fisher

I needed help on two fronts: mild apnea and grinding/clenching. What a professional crew! This was not an easy nor inexpensive process, but so worth it. Everyone takes time to explain what they're doing and why.

Amanda Reno

Lovely team! Very knowledgeable and friendly.

Chiarina Iregui

I am a sleep dentist who had a practice in Gig Harbor, WA. I am in the process of relocating to Pittsburgh, PA and have handpicked Dr. Kushner to take over care of the patients I was treating. I have also encouraged healthcare providers who referred to me to forward referrals to Dr. Kushner. She is an amazing practitioner who not only has the utmost knowledge in her field of sleep dentistry and tempromandibular joint disorders, but she is also so caring and compassionate. As a provider who values her patients, I feel so fortunate to be able to have someone as skilled and caring as Dr. Kushner to take over my practice.

Emmily Lane

Dr.Kushner is a godsend. I had such a great experience with Dr.Kushner and her staff. Everyone in the office is so nice and helpful, I love walking in to the office it’s so warm and welcoming.

My primary dentist referred me to TMD/SA Clinic right before the COVID-19 shutdown.
All the staff explained everything thoroughly to me. Especially with expenses & anything my Medicare insurance may or may not cover as well as my out of pocket costs.
I couldn’t be more pleased with my care on my initial visit. Dr. Kushner & her assistant are all very informative, professional, yet personable.

Emmily Lane

Everyone who works at the Clinic is knowledgeable and wonderful. You won’t find a friendly staff! I can’t recommend this office enough, they are very helpful and want to fix whatever your problem is in the most comfortable way!!

They are cheerful, and always remember you even if it has been a long time since the last visit. They remember things you tell them about your personal life, and check in to make sure everything is going well. The staff in the back is so knowledgeable, and does a beautiful job on my appliances. The whole staff here is like family, and I enjoy coming for my appts. I get excited to see all of them, and getting updates about what is going in their lives! I hope to always be part of this wonderful place.

Wonderful staff and caring, knowledgeable doctor! The first people that really listened to me and gave me answers. With a night-time retainer and physical therapy for TMD at Bremerton's Kitsap Physical Therapy, my pain has been reduced and even the end-of-day ache is going away with exercises I can do myself. I totally recommend TMD and Sleep Apnea Clinic of Poulsbo. Thank you!!

Dr Kushner and staff were very friendly right from the first time I had an appointment with them. I liked it especially when things I had been concerned about were explained in a matter that I could understand. I have my x-rays now and am ready to go for an appointment with the Dr and find out what she has to say. I feel comfortable with her as my Doctor.

Brenda Bary

Everyone there is very helpful and accommodating.

Patty Funk

The staff and Dr. Kushner are very friendly, caring, and professional. Dr. Kushner does an excellent job of explaining her diagnosis and proceedure in words that can be easily understood. She shows you the X-rays and draws pictures. I highly recommend her and her staff. I feel that they will do their best for me.

Shelley Chamberlin

Very efficient from scheduling my appointment to my visit with Dr. Tanya Kushner. Thank you for the free book written by Dr. Kushner titled “Wake Up To Better Sleep”. Great information on sleep apnea that I didn’t know. Looking forward to my new appliance and better sleep!

Jaime Brocklesby

I can't rave enough about this office. I was referred to Dr. Kushner in January of 2020 for severe TMJ pain. I'd had this pain since June 2019 (I'd had episodes of this pain in the past, but with this episode, it didn't go away in the typical few days), was self medicating with over the counter pain meds, avoiding hard foods, and even needed steroid injections. The headaches I was getting daily from the pain was making it hard to function (as a mom of three little ones, this was rough).
With thorough diagnostics, Dr. Kushner and her team made a plan, and after just a day wearing my custom device, I started to notice a difference. I actually never got the severe headaches again, and the pain lessened. During the six+ months of treatment (little delay due to covid), I had some flare ups of the pain, but overall, there was a steady improvement. Now I feel very stable and am out of pain. I eat hard foods. I open so much wider, and the fog has lifted completely from the constant headaches I was experiencing.
The whole team at Dr. Kushner's clinic is amazing. They work hard to have good communication, and they're all very knowledgeable about the TMJ. All the time, energy, and money put into this was well spent and I'm so thankful to have found my way to their caring and capable hands.

Deborah Mann

Fantastic Dr and service. If you need follow up you are in great hands. I would highly recommend.

Christine Rummer Copeland

Dr. Kushner goes the extra mile to provide the best possible treatment for her patients.

Paul Lyons

I was visiting from out of the area and developed a serious TMD problem. The office staff were very helpful in getting a referral, insurance authorization and fast appointment.
Dr. Kushner promptly diagnosed and corrected the situation.
I highly recommend the TMD and Sleep Apnea Clinic to anyone needing this type of medical service. Much thanks to Dr. Kushner and staff.

Sandra V Overton

prompt, appointments on time.

Ellen Sukolsky

I snore! One year ago I had a sleep study. Although I was not diagnosed with sleep apnea the snoring impacted the quality of both my sleep and my husbands. The recommended anti-snoring dental mouthpiece I use to help eliminate my snoring is somewhat effective but shifted my teeth and affected my bite. Dr. K gave me options and hope. She is professional, caring and thorough. She knows her stuff. I left the appointment with specific strategies to try to determine best way forward. 5 stars.

Bruce Hansen

Everyone here is super nice and Dr. K knows her stuff! Victoria is great, and their new facility in Silverdale is really nice! Highly recommend 👍🏼

Charlene VanderVelde

Friendly efficient office personnel..helpful in whatever is important to you...Dr. Kushner and her staff...excellent..you are not just a # in a daily routine...Dr. Kushner is interested in your problem and how to treat it..pinpointing the best method/methods...Absolutely recommend.

EVERYTHING!! From the first appointment to the annual checkup is a pleasure. Appointments are on time, the oral appliance works absolutely super and I recommend Dr. Kushner highly. Only regret will be you didn’t get there sooner!

Dr. Barrett and his staff at TMD & TMJ Sleep Apnea Clinic in Poulsbo are outstanding ! The office is clean, modern and the perfect mix of professional yet personable! Dr. Barrett came highly recommended and is respected by medical professionals throughout the Kitsap Peninsula. Now, as his patient I’m seeing why! TMD & TMJ are painful conditions. Dr. Barrett and staff genuinely care, go above and beyond using their knowledge and expertise to help with my condition. I trust them wholeheartedly! The entire team spend endless time educating me so that I understand the plan of care necessary to reach goals tailored to me individually and relieve my pain.

Starla Bushlack

Dr. Kushner is wonderful!

Holly Cowden

Dr. Barrett is a one of a kind doctor passionate about his work. He takes the extra time to ensure you understand everything that is going on. He genuinely cares about his patients and is determined to ease your pain. I've never known a doctor that calls you from his personal phone when he's working or not working to see how your doing. It's like having your wise loving grand-father as your doctor. The staff at the front desk are so kind, personable, understanding, and sometimes funny. They all have great energy vibes. I HAVE many specialty care doctors and HAVE HAD many specialty care doctors but NONE like DR. Barrett.

Louise Nelson

Wonderful professional service. And the staff Is awesome

Michele Rowell Herrera

I’ve never been to a health provider who spends as much time with their patients as Dr Barrett does. He’s even called me personally to check on me.

Kayla Marie Needles

I highly recommend this office! Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean and organized office. They took the time to fully explain my future treatment plan. I’m excited to see my final results!

Connie Baluyot Lariza

Thanks Dr Barette & Staff for helping me get much better. Great Dr & staff.

Thank you💖

Terri Gallagher Bacaycay

When I went to the clinic I admit to being a bit skeptical that anything would help my jaw. After experiencing jaw pain whenever I ate, locked jaws in the morning, crunching and clicking, I had to try something. Dr. Kushner and her staff were amazing! After she explained to me how the treatment works I was willing to give it a try. I wore an appliance (like a night guard) in my mouth for a few months. Slowly but surely my jaw started to improve. I can now eat bacon! Dr. Kushner explains things very well and answered all my questions. She is very competent and thorough. The entire staff is very friendly. A shout out to Bonnie (Dr. Kushner's assistant) and Sue in accounting who was amazing and patient with all my questions about the insurance end of things. I would highly recommend this doctor and her staff! Thank you for making my life better!🤩

Randi Jones

Dr Barrett spends the time needed to find the issues and follows up to make sure the treatment plan is going correctly. Great staff too.
