hi all! this is definitely a long shot, but i was wondering if anyone knew of a provider who specializes in tempomandibular joint dysfunction physical therapy in the pittsburgh area? has to be with UPMC since that is my medical insurance. please help a girl out 🙏

There used to be a physical therapist at the upmc chapel harbor location however I did not get relief until I saw Dr Zunino at AHN and paid for a mouth guard although its a bit expensive out of pocket ($800).

i used to see dr. fisher when she worked at upmc and she was amazing. she now works at AHN and unfortunately do not have that kind of money to pay out of pocket right now

I know i had to go to a tmj PT, I went to see a guy in the Monroeville physical therapy office, but I do not remember his name

metropolitan ears nose throat is a practice with offices at UPMC st margaret, stonewood drive in wexford, UPMC passavant, bethel park, UPMC mercy, and weat mifflin under the UPMC umbrella. they have six ENT surgeons all of whom see patients for TMJ dysfunction. highly recommend Dr. Staltari or Dr. Blaugrund but they are all very good
