    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 !!

    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.
