Dr. Caris always seems very intent when listening to my responses to her questions concerning my use of my CPAP device. She gives me suggestions that help to improve the effectiveness of my CPAP use and I feel that with her help my apnea has greatly improved.

Dr. Fitzgerald is busy and in demand, but she took all the time needed to thoroughly address my issues and offer assistance. She also reminded me that I can contact her through the email system if needed. Her supportiveness is much appreciated.

The nurse did not go over my med lists. She got several things wrong, and it was a problem. The doctor was caring, compassionate, smart, bright, a real blessing in my life. Thank you.
