Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Barely interacted. Staff communication was the most challenging. Had to call receptionist 11 times, put on hold for an hour, or got hung up on, just to schedule/confirm appointment. Medical assistant also challenging to communicate with.

He's nice enough, but doesn't listen well. Every 3rd or 4th sentence is "I'm sorry" when I clarify something he needs to know. After a few visits he still hasn't given me a diagnosis (only what components of it are), OR explained the mechanism of the symptoms, OR why the recommended drugs might be helpful. At the last visit he said he isn't an expert in my issue, and I need to see a specialist. Why waste my time and keep me in pain when he can't help?

Like most sleep doctors, only checks for an AHI under 5, regardless symptomology, O2 saturations, sleep staging, complexity of sleep apnea, and level of sleep deprivation. Not only appears ignorant of all modern sleep research but is arrogant in his ignorance--a dangerous combination for anyone with anything other than the simplest case.
