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.

Don't waste your time
I moved to a new area and needed a referral for a sleep study. This was the only available doctor at Montage, and was booked out ten months in advance. The office did not care that I would run out of CPAP supplies long before ten months, nor make any attempt to get me in sooner. Instead a month out they called to reschedule my appointment and push it further back. Then they just canceled the appointment without talking to me. Don't waste your time, go to a different medical group.

Great diagnostician. Helped me immensely with a Sleep Study. I was cured with just minor adjustments on my part.
