Very little wait. Great experience. The only thing I would recommend is the check-in kiosk, not be in the sunlight where you cannot see how to check in.

Office seems to operate on a very impersonal manner. Too regimented in their initial interaction with you with no effort to try and appear friendly. If you inform them that you did the online MyChart check-in they still ask you if there are any changes to your answers despite the fact that you can only use this online check-in a matter of days prior to your visit. Why would anyone provide inaccurate answers using this method! It's truly a waste of everyone's time and efficiency to have to go through the very same answers again upon actual front desk check-in. Also this office has no means of being able to leave a message verbally for the back office clinical staff and requires the patient to relay any messages through the front desk staff which are obviously not as familiar with back office clinical matters! Also the physician appears to have her own agenda when it comes to treatment recommendations for sleep apnea and appears to be less open in discussing other possible treatment options. Further this practice is not very helpful with assistance in obtaining insurance pre-authorizations often required for OMD devices which should be quite common in this type of medical practice speciality. After all, OMD's are considered medical devices despite the fact that the patient is referred to a dentist to have this device made. The pulmonary practice should be far more willing to assist the patient with obtaining the pre-authorization typically required for this type of medical device rather than simply stating that they can offer no assistance with this whatsoever!

Good afternoon. So, I felt very welcomed by the professionals, I felt protected. I'm still in the middle of the treatment. I haven't had a real conclusion about what's happening to me yet, right? But I believe that in this journey we're on of investigation, I will be able to reach a final understanding of what is going on with me. But I am happy with all the treatment I have received up to this point
