    Just don't think he has a good understanding of the CPAP equipment, or what It Is like having to use It. Thus wasn't able to speak with a sense of what to expect or with authority of what to do under the circumstances I found myself in. No real curiosity into what I might be feeling, and why, or what to do

    Dismissing knowledgeable patient concerns and minimizing possible issues they bring up is not a way to build rapport, respect and trust. I had to insist on getting answers for an issue and push for the doctor to take next steps that could've easily been offered. While they may not rate high in urgency for him, a thorough look into why my sleep has been poor impacts my chronic illnesses, daily pain levels, and other issues that are deeply impactful for me.

    I seemed he had a routine approach and was not really including me in the treatment. Wanted me change meds. Also stated he did not have something within the medical records I had requested from my previous sleep specialist I had requested from them and ask if I had it with me. I was not aware anything was missing. Why doesn't he/his office request the missing parts themselves? How can he treatment without a complete history on me. I can't really trust his recommendations at this point.

    Doctor seemed super rushed; he maybe spent 6-7 minutes talking with me; I had to stop him from leaving so I could ask questions, and he failed to introduce who I assume to be a student or intern who was in the room with us. I ended up introducing myself after the doctor got up to leave. I told him about an issue I was having with part of my cpap apparatus, and he said I should just try a different type of fitting with zero direction about what that could be or where I could get such a thing. He was perfectly polite and a nice person, it was just so rushed that I don't feel like I had a very good interaction.

    He listened to my issues but didn't really offer any other solutions to my chronic fatigue. I asked about sleep cycle and recommended deep sleep..he said the only thing that matters is hours of sleep which sounded strange to me. I left the office feeling depressed because I do not want to live my life in this state of chronic fatigue. It is interfering my personal and professional life being late not showing up etc. I cried in my car on the way home for the appointment bc I felt so depressed after that appointment. There was no follow up suggested. Nothing. I felt it was almost a waste of time.
