Excellent care.
Dr. Nathanson was an excellent listener. I felt that I was the sole focus during my time. He was open to questions and conerns. Dr. Nathanson was incredibly kind.
I am concerned about this because the Dr only seemed concerned about the very worst outcome for me. He seemed determined to have me diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and placed on a machine. Not one word about anything else. No physical examination or alternative therapies or surgical options. Now I am concerned about this survey and Dr. Neversons reaction to it
