Choosing a doctor to treat your snoring or sleep apnea problems can be a daunting task. During over 30 years of dental practice we have asked our patients what is most important to them. At the top of the list is that the doctor must be qualified and compassionate. The relationship we share with our patients is built on trust, compassion and quality. How can you, as the patient, make sure that a doctor and staff is right for you? We’ve compiled a list of questions you should ask before making your choice.
-
1.How long has the doctor been in practice?
