I love Dr. Munson...he is "THE BEST"!He is finding me another avenue for my sleep pap mask...so I don't the ave to continue to use the original nose and mouth mask that was making me get BAGS under My eyes from usage
April 8, 2026
Dr. Munson bedside manner is outstanding, he is very calm and laid back. He should give lessons to other doctors on how to approach their patients. I absolutely love going to see him. He never makes me feel rushed, always listens to my concerns, when the CPAP didn't work out for me didn't chastise me about it, he just began looking into alternative course of possible treatment. The entire staff is great and friendly. He is always on time (actually early)which is rare!
