    I was given a very thorough explanation of the situation and options, and was often encouraged to ask questions and guide the conversation to clarify anything that I wasn't sure of.

    Dr thoroughly prepared for appointment, using information prepared by staff, like data from CPAPs. Discussed need for new CPAP at late afternoon appointment; received confirmation the next morning if order for new CPAP, followed closely by contact from CPAP provider. Very impressive

    Dr Bliwise took ample time to talk to me and explain in detail about sleep apnea and in a way I understood what he was saying. He also took the time to hear about my symptoms and asked lots of follow up questions which was nice. He made me feel at ease about the whole process of trying to help me figure out what is going on. I really enjoyed my visit with him and would recommend him to anyone I know. I haven't had very many doctors take the care and time he did with me and I really appreciated it.

    My consult was primarily with Dr. Donald Bliwise who far exceeded my expectations with respect to his knowledge, communications, time spent with me, and his plainly authentic concern for my understanding of relevant issues and of my wellbeing in general. I couldn't be more satisfied than I am with our consult and with the fact that he is supervising my testing. This appointment also included a meeting, and some preliminary testing, by Dr. Lynn Marie Trotti who I found equally competent and concerned and who I therefore am equally grateful to for supervising much of the medical neurology side of my testing and care. I'm quite fortunate in being under the care of these two outstanding professionals.
