Are you unhappy with your Barnes doctor?

So far I have only met once and talked to three different docs on the phone and a fellow, two different nurses, and I am scheduled for my third sleep study, I just don't know if that is par for the course, I went with Barnes because I feel like they are the best of the best.

I'm in St. Louis area, glance at some of my posts on what I went through. In my opinion, St. Louis doctors heavly favor Respironics equipment and are hard to convince to prescribe APAP equipment.

Feel free to PM me if you want more info.
