Central Connecticut Invisalign, Sleep Apnea and TMJ Clinic - Glastonbury, Connecticut

Steve Wisner

Very comprehensive consultation and I wish I knew about Central Connecticut Orofacial Pain and Sleep Medicine sooner. I learned about a range of procedures and options that I didn’t know existed and the doctors were very thorough and explained each option that I could benefit from. I definitely would recommend anyone with sleep apnea and other sleep conditions to schedule a first appointment.

Everyone was so nice and helpful. I felt that Dr. Hollinger took his time and made sure that I understood everything he was explaining. I had a great experience and would recommend!

Dr. Hollinger provided comprehensive, clearly explained care regarding my TMJ. I have improved as a result of this and highly recommend him for an issue of this type.

I don’t normally post reviews about any business, but I needed to make an exception for Dr. Keith Hollinger business, he did an exceptional job explaining each process as I was about to go thru it.
I believe he does it to put his patients at ease.
He was 100% focused in doing his job and his staff are always friendly.
I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Hollinger and his staff.

I cannot recommend Dr. Hollinger enough! I booked an appointment with him for a painful TMJ flareup, and Laura at the front desk was so kind and helpful throughout that process. During my initial visit Dr. Hollinger patiently listened to me as I explained what was going on, and he did a very thorough exam. Afterwards he clearly explained what his observations were and what treatment plan he recommended and why. Since then he has been helping me manage my symptoms with laser treatments, physical therapy exercises, and lifestyle changes. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Hollinger for TMJ treatment!

I adore this place, it is legitimately the single best experience I have ever had with medical professionals in my longer-than-I-care-to-admit life. Dr. Hollinger is everything you could ask for; friendly, informative, actually listens to you, and knowledgeable as could be. What's more, this is the only place I've ever gone that didn't make me feel like they cared less about my well-being and more about making add-on sales or convincing me I needed 1,000 expensive tests before we could proceed. Stunningly, my first visit resulted in a genuine, no cost suggestion that was presented as a "let's try this simple thing first" that turned out to be incredibly effective at helping me address my issue. Even better, I swear when I had my follow-up, Dr. Hollinger was legitimately as excited about my progress as I was. It was so incredibly refreshing to have a doctor be excited about progress in his patient, and not instead come off like "dang, guess I can't get more insurance billing out of this guy." On top of that, the whole team is super friendly and easy to work with.

I honestly can't say enough about how excellent Central Connecticut Orofacial Pain & Sleep Medicine really is, it is truly a top-tier medical practice. Do yourself a favor and get yourself on their calendar, whatever is ailing you will thank you. And take my advice: DO THE STRETCHES. Don't tell the Doc you don't have time, you absolutely do, it's easy and quick and REALLY, REALLY works!!

Had a great first visit! Dr. Hollinger came out to the waiting room himself to welcome me to my appointment. He carefully explained everything and listened to everything I had to say. Very friendly office staff- made the process much better.

As a healthcare provider, I am an impossible patient. I over-explain, self-diagnose, talk too fast, and give way too much information. To make matters worse, I seem to suffer from a sleep disorder associated with airway resistance, not cessation of breathing (as occurs in sleep apnea), so my sleep study results don’t support a diagnosis of sleep apnea. I’ve sought help from many specialists over the years for issues of waking up with a rapid and sometimes irregular heart rate and often inability to fall back asleep, but because my sleep study results don’t show sleep apnea, no one has been able or willing to help me.

My experience with Dr. Hollinger (or Keith, as he graciously invited me to call him) was different than any that I’ve had before. Because he is an out-of-network provider, his care is not dictated by insurance companies, but rather by his own clinical expertise (which is quite extensive). Before my appointment, I was apprehensive to pay out of pocket for something that insurance would ordinarily cover, but I found that my experience was well worth the cost. Dr. Hollinger took the time to sit down and listen, taking an extensive history and performing far more thorough of an exam than I’ve ever had by a dentist, orthodontist, or oral surgeon (and I’ve seen many).

One of the things that I found the most impactful was that Dr. Hollinger performed a maneuver which opened my sinuses, and I found I was able to breathe better immediately. It was very simple, but no one has ever done it before. He then took the time to show me the results of a CT scan that he performed in the office, and showed me how having a narrow hard palate creates small sinuses. When he showed me this, it was like a switch was flipped – for years I’d been using mandibular advancement in order to enlarge the oropharyngeal airway, but the airway restriction isn’t occurring at that level – it’s happening at the sinuses. It’s like trying to get more flow out of a funnel by widening the wide part instead of the narrow part. Dr. Hollinger was the first one to figure this out, and I’ve consulted with over a dozen providers for my sleep issues and have been trying to treat this issue for ten years.

In addition to providing expert care, I found that Dr. Hollinger was also quite affable, warm, and had a good sense of humor. Top to bottom, the experience was excellent. If you’re suffering with sleep issues, I wholeheartedly recommend seeing Dr. Hollinger.
