The doctor was not compassionate. She did not let me talk. She did not even read the questionnaire of my symptoms that took me 30 min to fill out. It seemed like she came in to see me with preconceived ideas of my problems without caring to listen to my concerns. She was ver dismissive to anything I asked and was in a rush to end the visit. I would never see her again an am furious that I had to wait over 6 months for this appointment and had to pay so much for a useless evaluation.

The hole reason for the sleep study was to see how severe my apnea was for possible GLP1 to help with weight loss and apnea , when I came back for the results the Dr advised she doesn't have time to manage patients for GLP. Not satisfied with her that she doesn't have time for her patients . Won't be back !!

Friendly staff

The provider took her time to talk to me. In the 2 years I have went to a different provider I never even met the physician and the NP was in and out of the room and never had a conversation with me. I had a great experience and highly recommend this physician.
