Biography

Dr. Haigler is a board-certified/ SC licensed Orofacial Pain Specialist. This means the focus of her practice is TMJ disorders, Headache, Neuropathic Pain (like Trigeminal Neuralgia), and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.  She understands that these nonvisible conditions can be a large impact on quality of life, and she wants to help.

Dr. Haigler was born and raised in South Carolina and completed her Doctorate in Dental Medicine at Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). She practiced General Dentistry for several years before she realized that there was a need for an Orofacial Pain Specialist in our area.  Along the way, she learned to embrace a philosophy of knowing each patient as an individual and tailoring care for them.

She completed a Continuum in Orofacial Pain at Louisiana State University’s Dental School, as well as a postdoctoral Masters degree in Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine from the University of Southern California’s Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry. She became board-certified in Orofacial Pain and became the first licensed Orofacial Pain Specialist in South Carolina.

Dr. Haigler wants to help you identify and manage conditions like TMD-TMJ disorder, headaches (migraine, cluster, paroxysmal hemicrania, tension-type headaches), sleep disordered breathing (obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea), bruxism (clenching/grinding), neuropathic pain (Trigeminal Neuralgia, Atypical Facial Pain, Post Herpetic Neuralgia), myalgia (muscle pain), and trigger point with referral, and other oral pathologies that are causing patients to suffer.

  • Everyone Is So Friendly

    Everyone is so friendly and quick to answer any questions. Dr Haigler has taken her time in trying to figure out what is going on with my jaw, she & her assistant are also understandable when giving information.

  • Most Thorough and Thoughful Members of My Care Team

    Dr Haigler is by far one of the most thorough and thoughtful members of my care team. She spent the quality time necessary to gather a complete health history, worked tirelessly to have insurance approve imaging that was vital to my final diagnosis, and ensured I was referred to one of the preeminent neurosurgeons for my condition. Without her diligence, I’m confident I would still be searching for answers.
