What I am requesting is advice on a new medical practice who will help me and reeducate in Cpap use.
Currently, I am with Ocala Lung and they keep scheduling me and then canceling appointments. This has happened twice this month.
Any suggestions for a new medical practice?
Thank you

I also have a like/hate feeling about Cpap. Some do great but many get poor support. The first supplier never called or replaced anything after I got the machine. So I asked for a different supplier and now have Southern Respiratory which I find maybe even overzealous in wanting to send stuff that ":is Medicare covered" Well it is but there are some copays. However you may want to call them and request a visit or demo from a therapist. I think the doctors just order the settings and rely on others for fitting and supplies.
