Sleep Apnea & TMJ Specialist Serving Mercer Island, WA

Mercer Island is a exclusive island community in the middle of Lake Washington known for its privacy, top-rated schools, and proximity to both Seattle and the Eastside. For residents here dealing with disrupted sleep, chronic jaw pain, persistent snoring, or CPAP frustration, Dr. Jeffrey W. Doneskey provides focused diagnostic and treatment expertise from his Bellevue office — just 15 minutes from Mercer Island.

Dr. Doneskey is a certified Oral Medicine specialist, not a general dentist. He completed a two-year advanced education program at the University of Washington School of Dentistry specializing in TMJ disorders and oral medicine, followed by a fellowship in Oral Oncology at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. With over 30 years of clinical practice, he invented and patented the SilentPartner™ — an FDA-cleared oral sleep appliance that treats obstructive sleep apnea while protecting jaw joint health.

Why Mercer Island Residents Need a Sleep & TMJ Specialist

Mercer Island’s older demographic — many retirees and empty-nesters — faces increased sleep apnea risk from age-related airway muscle relaxation, often compounded by cardiovascular conditions

The island’s active retiree population frequently presents with TMJ symptoms that have been quietly worsening for decades, misattributed to normal aging rather than a treatable mechanical disorder

Connected to Bellevue and Seattle exclusively by I-90 floating bridges, Mercer Island maintains a quiet, self-contained character — but its residents need access to specialists that the island’s limited medical offices cannot provide
