Patient Testimonials

I have consulted with several highly regarded jaw surgeons across the United States, and based on my experience, Dr. Wasson stands out among them. He is highly sophisticated and demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the science behind jaw surgery. Fortunately, Dr. Wasson is able to explain complex concepts in a way that is clear, straightforward, and easy to understand. What I appreciated most was the time Dr. Wasson took to discuss the reasoning behind different approaches to treatment, including the relevant history, data, and medical literature. This helped me better understand my options and gave me confidence moving forward with the process. One quality that particularly stood out was Dr. Wasson’s honesty and transparency. He takes the time to explain both the potential benefits and risks of treatment and does not “push” unnecessary procedures. Instead, he focuses on helping patients make informed decisions based on their individual circumstances. His facilities are modern, clean, and well organized. His staff have consistently been professional, kind, and responsive. Every interaction with the office has been handled with care. These efforts did not go unnoticed! Ultimately, choosing a surgeon for a complex procedure requires a high level of trust. Throughout this process, I felt confident in Dr. Wasson’s expertise, judgment, and approach to patient care. I would certainly recommend Arizona Jaw Surgery to friends and family considering treatment.

Arizona Jaw Surgery has been wonderful to work with. Their office staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and they got us an initial consultation scheduled quickly. Dr. Wasson clearly explained all of our options, and even recommended we get a second opinion and recommended other doctors. He was open and personable, and I felt completely comfortable with his competence and knowledge.

Professional, caring, and intelligent is the office staff and as is Dr. Wasson. I felt heard in my complicated TMJ challenge. A rare find. I highly recommend these professionals.

I want to take a moment and express my sincere gratitude to the team over at Arizona Jaw Surgery. I had experienced over a decade of debilitating jaw, facial, and neck pain and had also felt incredibly lost, frustrated, and confused. I did not understand TMJ after all that time and had met with multiple surgeons and pain specialists throughout the years who could not provide me with any answers/a road to recovery. Dr. Michael Wasson changed all that. He performed my surgery almost 2 years ago and I can confidently say that not only has my overall pain levels have decreased, but I also have much more clarity surrounding my diagnosis and disease. Dr. Wasson is one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. His sincere bedside manner is unheard of in this fast paced world of medicine. He was INCREDIBLY patient and spent several hours just listening to my history instead of immediately just diagnosing me and rushing me out the door. I have never felt so heard as a patient in my life! On top of that, he spent a significant amount of time making sure I understood what has been going on with my jaw joint after all these years and how it has affected the rest of my body. I finally understood. I also want to express my deep appreciation for Jen, the office coordinator. She consistently answered my MANY phone calls within 30 seconds and helped my family and I navigate the heavy confusion that comes with pre-auth and health insurance. She always had a smile on her face and always made me feel heard. Thank you Jen for everything! Overall, 5 stars is not enough to give to Arizona Jaw Surgery. Many people are quick to judge a practice in a black and white manner on if they experience pain relief in the end or not, but it is SO much more than that. This practice is a clear example of what every specialist and team should strive for. Over two years later, I still remember the incredible experience I had as a patient, and every healthcare facility I have been to since is competing for first place with them in my mind. If you are also feeling lost about your TMJ or facial pain, I cannot recommend Dr. Michael Wasson and his team enough.
