The medical staff and Dr. Dowdell are fabulous. Parking at this building is a problem as in not enough parking. When we arrived 15 minutes before the requested arrival time there were at least 5 cars circling around the lot waiting for someone to leave so they could park. We got lucky and got a spot out near the street. Needs to be addressed as there is not a nearby Wellstar lot to handle overflow parking and walk over, especially for a handicapped person. Hopefully you can a find a solution like having staff park nearby in a Wellstar lot. The campus is getting tight and I'm sure parking is a big issue but it doesn't sit well to be late for an appointment due to a lack of available parking.

I always listen to and I find it with interest as opposed to like I'm babbling or some such and I always find the information and the diagnosis to be very, very correct right on the spot. And I can't say that it could be any, any better. Excellent. Dr. Dowdell, thank you very much. Things have improved considerably since I had the appointment with you and your staff. Thank you.

Even though my PC recommended I have the sleep study done, I knew my exhaustion isn't coming from slight apnea. I'm going to keep searching for the reason, it could just be the extra weight, it could be the low platelets, it could be long haulers from Covid, it could just be old age...it's hard to accept old age.
