Doctor's Information
From patients in need of care:
"My primary physician seems out of his depth when it comes to obstructive sleep apnea, preferring to let others handle the diagnosing / treatment. He had no objections to my seeking out an oral appliance, but was unable to provide any leads, either.
Essentially, there is a notable lack of expertise in the [my] area for diagnosing and treating OSA (and I'm sure this applies to other forms of apnea as well). It would seem with the population level and percentage of other services available that there would be a market for your product. What can be done to get a dentist in this area signed up?"
-Robert Weaver
"I've been snoring since I turned 15, I'm 43 and I still snore. My husband sleeps in other room, I need help please. I'm tired all the time and I love my husband and want to have a normal life. I'm also a cancer survivor. Can you help me fix this? There are none of your doctors in Orlando, FL What can I do?"
