What can I say? All the doctors offices that I go to are all extremely nice and helpful.
Providence Patient
I have been seeing this provider for several years. I have not liked her much. This time, she was quite a bit more supportive. In my last visit, I felt like she was blaming me for problems I was having with my device. I was quite offended because I was doing my very best. This time I was determined to not accept any blame. Surprisingly, she was much more supportive and even acknowledged at the end that using a CPAP is not easy. I was quite pleasantly surprised.
Providence Patient
