    Of all the physicians I have ever visited (in my life) she listens more attentively and explains all treatment options whether or not they will work (even if she has ruled them out) very thorough

    She did not discuss why this problem has occurred and neither showed the confidence in the treatment option. It was me who showed concern to tapper off the medication but I am not convinced that she did not show a positive / confident treatment option to cure the Illness.

    One of the best care visits I've ever had - especially for a remote call. Super impressed and grateful.

    Provider not always familiar with my particular case. Provider has not provided help and guidance for sleeping problems unrelated to apnea.
