He was very helpful and took the time to explain next steps and possible solutions
Extremely competent and gave really clear answers in a difficult subject. Many thanks, came away knowing exactly what I needed to do. Strongly recommend.
Called earlier than expected which was terrific as well. Really thorough and listened to me well gave me the right questions to answer and I noted down his comments to help me with improving my sleep and lessening my snoring. I wish the wait wasn’t so long for the mandible device but on the meantime I can work on my health to decrease my snoring. He was really thorough on the phone. I would have liked a face to face but understood this was not possible because of the heatwave today. A lot of gratitude for his care! Thank you Dr Pittman
