So, after some research— and I’m the type who does a lot of research, especially when I’m spending $2700– I finally decided to get the mandibular/oral appliance. My ENT doctor recommended Dr. Chenin, among others. So I read his reviews, which were sterling, and I called him. I also called two other places and did online research.
Finally, I decided to go with Dr. ChenIn. I am very glad that I did.

Reviews
Dr Chenin was extremely responsive in getting me in to see him. Throughout the process he was extremely informative and answered all my questions. Went much more in depth than I anticipated, and provided additional support concerning ways to supplement the Mandibular Advancement Device with other items to improve sleep. Very happy with the process and results! Highly recommend.
I had a truly great experience with Dr. Chenin. He crafted a new oral appliance for my sleep apnea, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. The care I received was personal and was tailored to what I needed and what would work best to help with my sleep. This included helpful follow-up emails from the doctor himself and support for the insurance process. Dr. Chenin really cared about me as a patient and was thorough and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking a dentist for sleep-related concerns.
