Transcript:
Dr. Shapira: Okay. John, tell me about your experience with the sleep appliance.
John: Yes, doctor. This has been absolutely phenomenal. I’ve got very severe sleep apnea and the thought of wearing a CPAP, I mean, just was a total turn off. I tried it one time and. I mean, it just gagged me and it was just really uncomfortable. So we tried a couple different appliances and the one I’m using right now works just absolutely phenomenal. My wife can get sleep, I can get sleep and it works just so much better than the CPAP machine ever did.
Dr. Shapira: Great. How long have you been using an appliance?
John: Oh, I’d have to think. It’s been at least five years.
Dr. Shapira: Okay. Is it okay if I post this on the website?
John: Absolutely.
Dr. Shapira:Great. Anything else you’d like to tell people about: treatment you’ve had from me?
John:Doctor, you’re just absolutely phenomenal. I can’t believe all of the care that
you’ve given and all the help and your patience. I know that I’ve been a difficult patient because we’ve kind of pushed the limits with the appliance and I’m so glad you were willing to give it a try because I think it works really well.
Dr. Shapira: Great. Thank you very much John.
