    Everyone was extremely kind and helpful and knowledgeable. AMANDA - the receptionist went out of her way to help me and I was very grateful for her kindness. DR AKERS was especially thorough and patient and definitely not in a hurry to rush me through like many places. He explained all the options that I needed to take with my sleep apnea and really helped me understand the whole process much better. Please give all the people involved with helping me a $50,000 raise!! !
