Well now that you said it, I just tried and found a few links to add to what I already knew, I selected my doctor by asking the DME who they thought was one of the best out there (since I thouht the first doctor was lacking I decided to wait 2 months before I would be treated!).

I know for example that my Lung doctor (I would guess he is in his 40s) actually gives conferences to other Lung doctors about Sleep Apnea. He seems to be involved to do some research on Sleep Apnea for people that have OSA and needs anesthesia and how to help threat them when they awake with CPAP (which seems to diminish complications by quite a bit). He is also head of the Sleep Lab for a big Hospital, etc. Heck he even climbed the Kilimanjaro and worked at the Everest base camp to study altitude breathing problems and altitude physionomy.

It only took a few seconds on our first meeting for me to know he was the real deal and so far my threatment is working very well!

Regards,
DanGr
