Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I've been with Dr. Lisa Whims-Squires for many years and have referred her, and will keep referring her to anyone in need of a sleep dr. Dr. Lisa Whims-Squires is very patient and makes sure she gets to know you not only at a patient level, but on a personal level; and will always ask how things are going on every visit. I'm a patient that suffers from Narcolepsy, and Dr. Lisa Whim-Squires worked through my needs and recommended changes to better my life. This didn't take long at all, and my Narcolepsy has been 100% manageable ever since. I have so many great things to say about the office staff as well. I want to also mention about the Xyrem Success Program where the prescription come from for some patients dealing with Narcolepsy; this pharmacy cares about your needs and is pro active when it comes to making sure you have your medicine in a timely manner each month. They even have a terrific Patients Assistant Program.

She is a wonderful and cheerful doctor. She listens first, reviews any papers (lab work, machine data, ...) second, then discusses any changes that might be needed. She has even personally taken time to resolve issues I when was having trouble obtaining my medical supplies.

Dr Squires is the best. She is knowledgeable, caring, and takes her time with each patient, no matter how rushed. Her office manager, Lisa, will help you in any way she can with efficiency and good humor. It is a long drive for me to go to the office but have been doing it for many years and would not go anywhere else.
