I had a car accident in 1985. I smashed my forehead into the windshield ramming my jaw into the steering wheel. I rearranged my jaw and my bite. After years of chronic and severe pain, many doctors (neurologists, ENTs and more), root canals on all my teeth, half my teeth extracted and 5+ different dentists. Conned out of $20k by a TMJ "expert" I met through Stanford. I was in pain with little quality of life and bleeding money.
Then...I met Gary Laine.
He worked out a treatment plan to restore my bite to its natural position. He explained everything in detail. I knew what, where, when and everything else in advance. Dr. Laine was/is a consummate professional. He was knowledgable, enthusiastic and confident that he could help me. He was exactly who I needed. Dr. Laine is supportive, kind, gentle, smart, flexible, nonjudgmental yada yada yada. If he has a question about something he will refer me. I have beautiful dentures and a great smile.
I disagree with almost all of the neg. reviews. He is not arrogant and full of himself but confident and enthusiastic that he can help his patients. He is a perfectionist. He gets jazzed when difficult problems are resolved.
I like Dr. Laine. On a scale of 1-5 he's a 10.
