I reached out to Dr. Ananthan at a time when I was in constant pain and discomfort. I was losing hope of ever feeling better. After months of being misdiagnosed by other doctors and having unnecessary procedures that made my condition far worse, Dr. Ananthan correctly diagnosed the neuropathic pain I was experiencing and started me on an effective treatment plan. Her unique expertise and experience in this field of medicine gave me my life back. She is also a patient, honest and caring professional. It has been a long journey but I’m certain I would not have improved without her care.

My mother was actuallv losing weight from lack of eating due solely to maior discomfort from TMJ! TMJ is short for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder! I searched all over NJ for a doctor who actually treats TMJ and not just diagnoses it. After weeks of research I found Dr. Sowmva Anathan of Garden State Oroffacial Pain, L.L.C. Dr. Anathan was one of the most patient doctors my Mom and I have ever met. She spent almost 2 hours with Mom at the first visit. After 3 visits over 3 months with Dr. Anathan and a prescription for physical therapy Mom is eating again almost pain free. If you are having any symptoms (which vary) of TMJ please don't hesitate to visit Dr. Anathan.
