I appreciate Dr. Overton genuinely listening to my concerns, referring for sleep study when not overtly indicated and subsequently performing tonsillectomy based on results.

I really like that a PA came in to do the initial work up. I find that NPs and PAs are able to take time to talk things through. I think drs would do the same if they weren’t on such a tight schedule.
