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.

I've been working with Dr. Pullen for over 7 years. I appreciate her candid rapport, and her ability to explain complex elements in a way that I understand. Virtual visits have gone well, when the technology plays its part. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic communicator

I've had two virtual meetings with Dr. Pullen around a sleep study for possible apnea. Both meetings were excellent. Dr. Pullen is a superb science communicator (I also do science communication for a medical device company) and has a wonderful demeanor. I highly recommend Dr. Pullen for your care.

My husband and I first began seeing Dr. Pulled at least a decade ago when she was still in practice as a family physician and we are her patients now in her current discipline of sleep medicine. We have always received excellent care from her and have recommended her to friends and family without hesitation. I hope we continue to be her patients indefinitely. I can't imagine ever wanting to replace her.

Dr. Pullen is excellent. She was my children's doctor for years until she went to the Sleep Center. She is upbeat, knowledgeable, informative, and has a great attitude. She dealt with the whole family in a professional and positive way. I recommend her highly to anyone. Her former office was a well-oiled machine, but I cannot speak to the staff and office at the Sleep Center yet, but as for Dr. Pullen, as a physician, she is outstanding.

At the 1st visit the office staff were courteous. They were less helpful a week after the study. I was told that Dr. Pullen will call me with the results but was not told when. They were curt when informing me that Dr. Pullen is only in 2 days a week. 3 or 4 days is part-time. 2 days is an unavailable doctor. Had I known I would have chosen a different doctor., regardless of medical expertise. The sleep study staff were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.

Was rushed through my first appointment and she hardly listened to me. My second appointment after my sleep study she told me nothing is wrong except I have cataplexy. She told me to go see my family doctor who is going to do nothing. Passing me off after one test. I even explained how the wires kept falling out and it was very hard to sleep. She gave me no medications, nothing to help. I felt like most of the time she wasn't really listening to me.

I was very satisfied with my appointment with Dr Pullen and with the staff in the sleep lab. Very kind, compassionate and listened well. Scheduling follow up and making arramgemnts for the cpap machine have been difficult and prolonged. I have been patient with each step, but the process only progresses when I call, and then the phone staff are curt and nearly rude. My first appointment was in June and I still don't have the cpap. (January 1). I was told it would be a long process.
