Excellent

This Dr barely listens. He repeats the same thing over and over again he doesn't listen to the words you say he doesn't respond to the questions you ask he just says the same thing again and it's not helpful. I would never recommend him and I don't think he should be in practice anymore. he's worthless and you don't have another sleep doctor.

Dr. Wiseman is a very good and experienced doctor who shows much Concerns for his patients. It is very hard to find a good doctor that you can really trust. I am so afraid that he will retire and I will have to find another doctor.
