I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and have been using a CPAP for about three years. Cristine Tuttle became involved about a year ago when I was referred to her by my PCP in response to some questions I had. My situation is not typical in that it appears I may have Central Sleep Apnea in addition to Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Cristine was the first person to determine this. The issue is compounded by the fact that the device commonly used for patients with Central Sleep Apnea is not recommended for use with patients who are in heart failure, which I am and which was confirmed by Cristine who requested a copy of my most recent Echo. Cristine has requested additional tests to determine the best treatment for me. I am impressed that she is so diligent and am very confident in her management of my situation.

Cristine Tuttle takes time to listen and also to remember what was talked about in earlier visits. She never makes me feel rushed and like she's anxious to get out to her next patient. I'm really impressed with her knowledge and personality.

Biggest problem was lack of communication. I received no information on a new medication she prescribed other than to take as directed. She cancelled my old medication without letting me know so I made an unnecessary trip to pharmacy that evening and left empty handed because not only was my prior med not there, but the newly prescribed med was called into a pharmacy that does not deliver that medication. I was unable to contact anyone within the providers office for 2 days (I left 2 messages with staff from a call center) and was therefore missed 3 doses of medication. I am a bit uneasy continuing care here because I felt like I was left out of the loop on what was going on and no one would call me back.

When I asked Christine Tuttle about a recommendation for a pillow for my sleep problems, she said she did not have any. Later in the conversation she did in fact recommend a pillow. Confusing to say the least.

When I had a prescription for a new CPAP machine, the pressure strings were changed without my input into the decision. I had no idea concerning the changes until I called Lincare. As a result of the changes, I missed a lot of sleep. I was frequently awakened by the force from the higher pressures almost every night. The noise woke up my wife, as well. I ultimately went went back to my old machine. I am not sure whether Christine made that change independently or if Dr. Markowittz made that call. Either way, I was disappointed that a change was made without me knowing about the change.
