From: CH This is CH. I was in to see Dr. Epstein last Thursday. You took excellent care of me! I just wanted to say how please I was with the level of care I received. Please let Dr. Epstein know how much I appreciate his professionalism, his astute competence, and his extreme thoroughness. I am also grateful for his wonderfully kind “chairside” manner and really excellent sense of humor. He may be the only dentist on the planet one wants to see again and again! I look forward to my next visit. Sincerely, CH ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————— From: NG Hello Dr. Epstein, I want to thank you for all you did for Amy. Your treatment for lichen planus gave Amy back her ability to east. Amy was able to pick her last meal and it was good. Your quick response to the return of her cancer gave us a fighting change and provided us with more time. Words are not adequate for my gratitude. In all of my experiences with all of the doctors, nurses, and medical professionals during Amy’s treatments over the past 2 years, you have been the absolute best. Your caring, respectful and non-judgemental nature was like a soothing balm for my tortured soul. Amy and I spoke often of your awesomeness. I am not a wealthy man, but if I were, I would give it all to you to continue your work or better still, to train others to be more like you. I am a programmer and general IT guy. If you would ever want assistance in such thing, I would do so happily. Thank you! NG ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————— From RS: Dr. Epstein, I want to give you a big thanks for finding the right medicine to control my Crohn’s Disease. After over two decades of ever increasing painful sores in my mouth, it’s a great feeling to live each day pain free (in my mouth at least). I am a much happier person because my quality of life is so much better now. Thank you and best regards, RS ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Dr. Epstein, 
Thank you for everything you did for me when I was in pain.  You saw me on short notice.  You spent over an hour with me. You prescribed the exact treatment I needed.  You explained every thing to me in detail.  You answered my questions.  And most of all, your caring gave me the reassurance I needed that the treatment would work-and it did!!  It was exactly what I needed.  
Dr Epstein it was my pleasure and honor to meet you.  Everything my dentist said about you is true.  You are amazing and caring doctor and just a terrific person-human being.  Please know that you made a difference in my life and that i deeply appreciate your kindness.

Hi Dr. Epstein,

 

Forgive my tardy reply! I started a new job on the 29th of November and I am behind in all other facets of my life!
I cannot thank you enough. My mouth has improved beyond what I could have imagined with the rinses alone.
Shortly after my Executive Admin, AKA, my Mom, reached out to you, the medicine began working.
I’m still at 4x/day and have not needed the additional medication though I’m glad to have it.
Thank you so very much for your expertise. I am more hopeful than I have been since my diagnosis.
You have improved my quality of life immeasurably.
Kindest regards,
Kimberly

I have watched the Oral Lichen Planus webinar for at least eight years.  My condition got worse and worse.  I tried everything I heard about on the webinar and even went to see the head of DentIstry at local medical center.  I survived the regimen of prednisone which didn’t help at all and I just give up.
A few months ago you were kind enough to refer me to Dr. Joel Epstein for treatment of OLP.  He examined me, told me to take everything I was using and bag up and not use (mostly Clobetesol ointment) and prescribed a totally different regimen.
We’ll, it’s been seven weeks and the miracle happened!  The inside of my mouth and tongue have healed and there’s only a tiny spot of LP left.  I cried with joy.
I can’t thank you enough.  Please consider having Dr. Epstein lecture.  He is extraordinarily well credentialed, and best of all a really nice man.  I have no doubt he can help our community of OLP patients.  He can be reached by email at oralmedicinepacific@gmail.com.
With gratitude,
Barbara J.

Thanks so much for seeing JS and being part of her team.  I met you years ago at a lecture on oral medicine.  I referred her to you for this very reason.  JS felt comfort knowing that she has the best in the filed.
Please keep in touch with me.
Kind regards
Dr. MZ
PS: Your lecture was one of the best and most informative information on oral medicine.  I sure hope you can come back and have an updated version.  That would be awesome.

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU again for all your help with healing my jawbone and my oral mucosa.

I have just been so so happy with these results. Y’all have given me back my life and my health with the expert advice and care you provided to me. I’m not sure I would have been able to withstand a surgery that cut out a large portion of my jawbone- I think the stress would have killed me. Knowing about the infrared light has helped me immensely.

I’m so grateful! I started all the medications that Dr. Epstein prescribed and in just two days, my mouth is in considerably less pain – Ulcers still there, but most of the inflammation is GONE! I’m just so relieved and so grateful. After suffering consistently without reprieve for over 7 months – it’s such a gift to be relieved of the pain so quickly! (Especially after countless doctors visits with providers who were unable to help me)
Also, I was sent a text after the appointment to write a yelp review, which I did, but please let me know if any other place you’d like me to write a GLOWING review of Dr. Epstein – I am beyond grateful for his knowledge, expertise and wonderful bedside manner too!
Thank you kindly!
Warm regards,
Rebecca

Dear Dr. Epstein-I’m writing to seek your advice on a specialist referral for burning mouth syndrome, which I have been suffering from for over a year.  I live in the Minneapolis- St. Paul area.  I have seen many types of physicians over the past year in hopes of seeking relief, but I have been unsuccessful in locating someone who truly specializes in BMS.  Any guidance on doctors you know and trust, given your world-class background and specialization in this area, would be much appreciated.  I respect all of your efforts and research in this area.  Please keep up the excellent work for those of us suffering from this often mystifying and debilitating syndrome.With hope (always),AK3rd Grade TeacherMN
