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.

He is a knowledgeable professional physician. Kind and considerate

Dr. Dothager is the best of the best. He helped me in the past by giving me a C-PAP machine. This time he he discovered I have Restless Leg Syndrome. Figuring this out will allow me to get much better sleep.

I love Dr Dothager. His staff is always helpful, no problem getting an appointment and respectful of time. He listens, he cares. This is rare these days. I can’t say enough positive. I have also worked with him in the hospital setting. I think he is fantastic.

I wasn't thrilled to use a CPAP machine after my sleep study. When I returned to Dr. Dothager for a 6 month follow-up, he explained the benefits of my CPAP in a way that I truly understood. He also made clear about the negative effects of sleep apnea and the results it has on my body and my overall well being. He's very patient, he listens intently and offers many suggestions to keep me healthier. One year later, I use my CPAP daily and feel fantastic. Thanks Dr. D!
