Scott: Hi, my name is Scott Campbell. I authorize Dr. Shapira to use this video on the internet. My wife has been seeing Dr. Shapira for about thirty years. He helped her with a fibromyalgia problem and when I was diagnosed with sleep Apnea, Dr. Shapiro had a appliance alternative versus CPAP. I’ve been wearing the appliance for approximately one year now with a minor issue; I have a nickel allergy so the hook on there was giving my tongue some problems which we’ve so far fixed that. Wearing this appliance versus the CPAP has changed my life. I don’t snore anymore, I sleep much better, so this is probably one of the best things. If you can’t stand the CPAP machine, come see Dr. Shapira because he’s got a wonderful alternative.
Dr. Shapira: Great. Thank you very much.

Dr. Shapira: Okay. John, tell me about your experience with the sleep appliance.
John: Yes, doctor. This has been absolutely phenomenal. I’ve got very severe sleep apnea and the thought of wearing a CPAP, I mean, just was a total turn off. I tried it one time and. I mean, it just gagged me and it was just really uncomfortable. So we tried a couple different appliances and the one I’m using right now works just absolutely phenomenal. My wife can get sleep, I can get sleep and it works just so much better than the CPAP machine ever did.
Dr. Shapira: Great. How long have you been using an appliance?
John: Oh, I’d have to think. It’s been at least five years.
Dr. Shapira: Okay. Is it okay if I post this on the website?
John: Absolutely.
Dr. Shapira:Great. Anything else you’d like to tell people about: treatment you’ve had from me?
John:Doctor, you’re just absolutely phenomenal. I can’t believe all of the care that
you’ve given and all the help and your patience. I know that I’ve been a difficult patient because we’ve kind of pushed the limits with the appliance and I’m so glad you were willing to give it a try because I think it works really well.
Dr. Shapira: Great. Thank you very much John.
