Great visit and so thankful for the care of both the nurse and Doctor.

The staff was friendly and professional. Dr. Dowdell's personality was warm and consoling. I appreciate the depth of explanation he provided regarding his assessment of the sleep study, types of therapies and which would or would not be of benefit. I appreciate his candor about following up if my condition worsened. I felt comfortable with his care.

Dr. Dowdell was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He asked detailed questions about my sleep patterns, apnea history, breathing concerns, and many other health issues. Dr. Dowdell covered a number of solutions available to me, offering advice on availability, Medicare coverage, options, and necessity with my age in mind. We amicably agreed on the path forward. I was very impressed with Dr. Dowdell and will return should any issues arise in the future.

You could have just sent me the machine. I learned nothing from the appointment. Grilled me to the inevitable end that I expected. No trust. No connection. Whatever.

I do not know how to do virtual. My daughter in law set everything up and it was not working. We ended up doung app with cell phone. I could not hear even though I wear hearing aids. Daughter in law had to interput what Dr was saying. My first virtual was not a good experience

First time seeing Dr. Dowdell and very happy to have him as a caregiver! My prior pulmonologist didn't provide10% of what Dr.Dowdell provided. He walked through and explained things never before discussed by my other provider. Clear, concise and in layman terminology to understand my condition as well as guidance on continued self help. Yes, a great addition to my team of caregivers. Plus a friendly and caring staff! What more could you ask for!
