I am not really sure what to say. I came to Dr. Michaelson as a referral from another Wellstar physician, as he was touted as the guy who could help me fall asleep. Maybe I should have been more pointed and definite in my wishes at the outset of our visit -- I have been taking Temazepam for 5-6 years for sleep. I would like to have known what other drugs might be available that could help me fall asleep (if any), and a graceful way (if any) to titrate down on the Temazepam and onto something else. I have no pulmonary issues, and the doctor who recommended Dr. Michaelson knows that. He did not recommend me for a pulmonary assessment. What I DID find out from Dr. Michaelson was that I am addicted to Temazepam now, and that withdrawal would be a very difficult, and most probably an impossible task, and that wasn't his specialty. He said I should just keep doing what I was doing until it didn't work any more. So I guess it was a mistake to refer me to him, or at least he certainly made me feel that way. If I was going to be let down by this referral (I was hopeful...), at least it could have been done gently and compassionately. Thanks for listening.

Dr. Michelson is obviously very good at what he does, very knowledgeable, but for someone who doesn't know anything about all the initials, words that I don't know what they mean, the ranges of scores, he seemed impatient with me and I think I got the sense he was anxious to move on to his next appointment. He was very knowledgeable. He answered my questions, but very short, and I felt like that's as many questions as he wants to answer, period. For someone getting a new device for the first time, I would have hoped for a little more patience.
