"As a Neurologist,
many patients seek my medical care for headaches and facial
pain. After appropriate medical history, physical examination,
and laboratory testing including x-rays when indicated,
we are still left with the problem of the patient's pain.
Fortunately, in skilled medical hands the headaches and/or
facial pain can often be controlled. Over the years I have
referred patients to a variety of practitioners; however,
in my experience, the most skilled is Dr. Ira M. Klemons...
Even though the patients
coming to see me have often seen a variety of others with
little relief, Dr. Klemons still has excellent results with
them. In my experience his results are superior to those
of other specialists which the patients have seen such as
internists, neuro-surgeons and rehabilitation/physical therapists.
Moreover, he is very conservative
in the use of medicines or surgery. This is important because
many patients under treatment via these modalities have
problems from the treatments.
His patients report back
to me with the highest respect for his professional manner
as well as that of his staff. My admiration for his professional
skill is great. Beyond this he has great concern for his
patients and personal integrity."

"Although our offices are
separated by a significant distance, I have such confidence
in Dr. Klemons that I have consistently referred patients
to him who have symptoms of ear, face, and throat pain,
headaches, dizziness, and swallowing dysfunction. He has
shown himself consistently to have expansive knowledge and
hands-on skill. This evaluation reflects what the patients
have subsequently told me as well as my perceptions when
I took the opportunity to see Dr. Klemons' center.
In addition, not only is he more than well versed in his
field of myofascial temporomandibular joint dysfunction,
he has also had the acuity to identify most accurately patients
who have had tumors in areas not of his particular expertise
and he has referred them for successful treatment in a timely
fashion which significantly reduced what might have been
severe consequences if the tumor had not been so promptly
appreciated."

"I am a physiatrist specializing
in pain management. For the past 13 years, I have referred
patients with head and facial pain to Dr. Klemons for treatment.
In that time, I have known him to be highly competent and
compassionate, and cooperative in the interdisciplinary
care that my patients have required. He has managed to remain
current in a field which has changed dramatically in the
past decade, and continues to advance rapidly: On a personal
level, I believe that Dr. Klemons is of the highest moral
and ethical fiber. He is creative, innovative, and a strong
leader."

"Having known Dr. Klemons
for the past 8 years on both a professional and personal
basis, I have been astounded by his extensive knowledge
in not only his field but those pertaining to neurology
and medicine...
I find this man to be an extremely intelligent physician
and highly commendable human being. He is also a caring
and compassionate man, who always goes well beyond his realm
in both the treatment of his patients and mine. Not only
is he innovative in the field of medicine, but totally dedicated
to his practice. I cannot express enough how proud and honored
I am to be a friend, associate, and colleague of this fine
practitioner."

"...Dr. Klemons is well-known
to our Academy & its Membership for his work in TMJ
& other painful disorders. He has worked exceptionally
diligently in this field and has devoted his life to this
skill. He holds a Ph.D. in this science & has treated
thousands of patients with these painful disorders (which
for many years had gone unrecognized because little was
known on how to diagnose and/or treat these commonplace
& little-understood affirmities). Dr. Klemons is a leader
in this field."

"I am writing to confirm
that Dr. Ira Klemons was granted the Ph.D. Degree from this
department in 1981. Dr. Klemons' doctoral dissertation was
entitled, Chronic Head and Facial Pain and Dysfunction:
Their Interrelationships, Diagnosis and Treatment by Mandibular
Orthopedic Repositioning.
Professor Edward Hunt was
Dr. Klemons' Advisor throughout his nine-year program which
included four years as a full-time student at Penn State
University. This followed completion of his undergraduate
and Doctor of Dental Surgery Degrees. Dr. Hunt was a member
of the faculty at Harvard University Schools of Medicine
and Dental Medicine for 20 years and was active in dental
research and teaching.
Other members of Dr. Klemons'
Doctoral Committee and Consultants included Medical Doctors,
Health Science Researchers and a Dentist, each with a broad
array of knowledge and specialties. These doctors contributed
their skills in assuring that Dr. Klemons' work was well
focused in his specialty, and of exceptional quality.
During the course of his
studies and research, Dr. Klemons attended several thousand
hours of post-graduate courses at two of the State's dental
schools, Walter Reede Army Medical Center, and medical and
dental schools throughout the United States, as well as
at this institution. In addition, he was carefully guided
by his Committee in conducting in depth individual research
in his field."

"I have known Dr. Ira Klemons
for approximately ten years on a professional level. I have
worked closely with Dr. Klemons in his practice of treatment
of TMJ, head and facial pain patients. My role has been
consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
Based upon my experiences
as described above, I can tell you that Dr. Klemons has
distinguished himself as being in the forefront of this
field. For many years he has been regarded nationally as
an authority on TMJ head and facial pain. I have had the
opportunity to hear him lecture on several occasions. I
have also had the opportunity to treat several patients
who have been under his care. He has demonstrated the highest
level of skills, both in his knowledge and clinical aptitude.
Dr. Klemons commands a
distinguished position in the area of head and facial pain
and TMJ treatment...He is often referred to as the 'doctor's
doctor'. He accepts some of the most difficult patients
and I am proud to affiliate myself with him."
