Bennett Brodwin, DMD

I’m looking at Dr. Brodwin’s Unilocal page here, and I am in shock that he doesn’t have 50 5– star reviews. I am a medical practitioner who also happens to have had a long history of insomnia, punctuated by mild apnea. I am also a Kaiser member, and have had sleep studies, taken medications, and have been evaluated by psychological people to figure out why I wasn’t getting a good night’s rest. After trying the standard C — Pap machine without any luck due to how cumbersome and uncomfortable it was, out of desperation, my wife called Dr. Brodwin’s office to see if his services would be of help to me. I’m not a big Unilocal reviewer, but after only 24 hours, I feel compelled to leave a review for him. He immediately got back to myself and my wife, calling from his cell phone on his day off, and driving in from Lafayette in order to evaluate me and give me a temporary solution until Kaiser would come around to referring me to him, which they still have yet to do. He made a temporary device for me that I am trying out, and after driving in and spending an hour and a half with us on his day off, we were charged much less than we expected. The following morning, after trying the device out and getting a much better night’s sleep than I had hoped for, Dr. Brodwin called me up on a Saturday to check in on me and give me suggestions. He suggested an ancillary thing that might help, and offered to drop it off at my office, as I was working that day.
There are a lot of other things that I could say about the doctor and his great bedside manner, but what strikes me the most is his kindness and understanding of how horrible it can be to not be able to sleep, and the fact that he has gone so far out of his way to help me. That alone deserves a five star review.
I would go on and say more, and perhaps I will, but I’m writing this on an iPad, and if I had to give a Unilocal review for the iPad keyboard and voice recognition, it would get one star.
Later… By the way, though he is a dentist with a few decades of experience, his practice is no exclusively around sleep medicine, and his Unilocal page should somehow indicate that.
