Just finished my surgery with Mr Komath. Great doctor. Went through everything with me and managed to squeeze me into his packed diary before my wedding.
Thank you so much.

I had a bilateral arthroscopy of the TMJ which included disc repositioning. I was suffering from chronic pain in my jaw joint and following an MRI I was diagnosed with an arthritic jaw joint. Conservative treatment did not work. I had worse and better days but the pain never stopped, to the point that I was sleep deprived and fairly low in mood. Painkillers also seemed to have a limited effect, plus I did not want to be reliant on them.
Mr Komath suggested the above surgery as well as an anterior repositioning splint and physiotherapy.
At my 6 weeks check up the pain had not reduced much and I was suffering from facial weakness on the right hand side - I could not smile fully on that side. I was reassured that it was early days but if I did not improve I may have to repeat the surgery. I am now 3 months post op - the facial weakness has disappeared and the pain has significantly improved. I still get occasional pain but this tends to be helped by mouth exercises and massage, and I am generally almost pain free. I sleep and eat better, and I am not constantly tired.
I was very ambivalent about having surgery but I am glad I did as it has improved my quality of life. I was worried about recovery and facial scarring, but the scarring is insignificant and pretty much invisible. Recovery has also been ok - I was not in great pain after the surgery, other than tightness around the area and the usual jaw pain I was getting before, which has now reduced.
Mr Komath was trustworthy and patient, and in my case made the right call suggesting surgery.

I would highly recommend Mr Komath, who I saw regarding the extraction of a problematic wisdom tooth. I found him to be very professional and efficient. He took care to explain everything to me, answer my questions and reassure me. Indeed, the operation went smoothly, and my recovery was quick. I would return to Mr Komath should I need any further care in his department.
