I was very happy with Dr. Cherian initially. Dr. Cherian's medical staff is outstanding. For the most part so is the office staff. I was very excited that he offered some sort of relief to my nagging TMJ problems. After some negotiation Dr. Cherian offered me the TMJ Transcutan for $3500, even though it was completely out of pocket I decided it was well worth it. After 6 months of treatment, and still no good signs of improvement, and the fact that Dr Cherian only shook my hand during 6 months of treatment. I was notified in the lobby by the office Manager Ahad that my balance was due immediately and any further treatment would cost me $750 per visit I was completely embarassed as it was explained to me it would be about 18 months of treatment. After speaking with Dr. Cherian, I found out that he didn't discount my price at all, he modified my method of treatment, and to continue I would not be able to afford it. This dentist is fine for normal cleanings, but beyond that be careful. for those of you who are looking for a miracle treatment for TMJ, this isn't it. I still grind and have pain, as much as before and now I am out $3500. Don't fall for the same bill of goods I did.
