I just would like to be asked if I have any questions or concerns about my sleep or CPAP. I guess because "my numbers are good," he assumes everything is A-OK. Maybe I'm being picky? But it costs a lot to see a specialist.

I have significant [...], and consider myself lucky to have been referred to Dr. Ghent. He has been most thorough in his use of diagnostic tests, always seems to have studied the results of those tests prior to my office visits, and discusses my issues in a manner that’s easy for me to understand. He never seems rushed during my office visits. I think he’s a great doctor, as well as a really nice guy. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Ghent to anyone in need of a pulmonologist.
