TESTIMONIALS
“My Oral Device has been a life changer for me and my spouse certainly approves. Sleep filled nights and waking more rested than ever. Wish I had found MDSMI sooner.”
Idus Rhodes
“Dr. Gotsis is very thorough in explaining how the oral appliance will work. He made sure my insurance approved coverage. He has called several times to see how I am getting along with it (I live 70 miles one way) I was referred to him by my heart specialist, who is so thrilled with the oral appliance results for my sleep apnea. My husband is very thankful too!”
Marie Mueller
“Dr. Gotsis is a very thoughtful, well-researched, and highly specialized expert in sleep medicine. As a physician, I feel that there is a major bias in the field towards CPAP machines which have huge issues with compliance. I strongly recommend anyone on CPAP at least due a consultation with Dr. Gotsis to figure out their options.”
Brian Kim
"The oral appliance has helped me feel better and sleep better. I feel more rested now than I ever felt before using the appliance. I could not use a C pap the mask wouldn’t fit on my face right or it would fall off at night. Just could not get a good nights sleep. If you are suffering from sleep apnea give the oral appliance a try. Dr Gotsis is very good at what he does. Thank you Dr Gotsis for offering an alternative appliance for sleep apnea."
Mr. Williams, Retired Firefighter
"The appliance has really turned my life around. The traditional CPAP made me feel claustrophobic and I just couldn’t sleep comfortable right it. The oral device is a game changer for me, my energy levels are up, my moods are much better, and my body actually feels rested! I would highly recommend Dr. Gotsis and the oral appliance. Dr Gotsis isn’t just some run of the mill Dr. He displays such a passion for his job, you can tell he isn’t just there to make your device, he wants to make sure that device is everything it can be and wants to see it impact your life. He’s not just worried about the fit and making a good device, he also likes to see the device impact your life positively. Having a Dr that actual cares about his patients is hard to find now days."
Mr. Klotz, Army Combat Veteran
“Every interaction I've had here has been amazing. I looked for a sleep apnea specialist and so glad I found Dr Gotsis. He is a true professional.”
