    Dr. Shiffman is an exceptional doctor. He's thorough and explains medical issues so they are easy to understand. I use a CPAP machine and he even took the time to explain how it works which was very helpful. I'd rate him as one of the best doctors I have along with Dr. Madinith Muy, my primary doctor!!!!
    Doctor Schiffman has taken care of me and my sleep Apenea for many years . I have recommended him but my friend had [ID] insurance
    This provider is excellent as d I trust him 100%.
    I had to wait approximately 60 minutes to see the doctor. He apologized for the long wait.
