About the Doctor + First Impressions
A patient’s perspective on care with Dr. Sims and team
Choosing Dr. Sims
“What made you choose Dr. Sims over other providers you considered?”
I did research other Sleep Specialty offices and their methods. I have several years of experience with Dr. Sims and Heather as their dental Patient, I trust them both. They introduced their new Practice and I thought their expertise might be what I needed to achieve better sleep and improved awake-time quality, including improved blood pressure.
“How did Dr. Sims make you feel during your first visit?”
I felt very comfortable and confident that he was listening to my needs, wants and concerns about what his Practice could offer for me.
“What stood out to you most about Dr. Sims' approach to care or diagnosis?”
He asked for and reviewed my past pertinent records. Dr. Sims has always had a very calm demeanor. He is an active listener and his willingness to educate the Patient while accepting and answering questions has always been appreciated by me.
“How would you describe Dr. Sims to a friend or family member looking for answers?”
Dr. Sims is an excellent Teacher. His enthusiasm for his work and expertise is always evident and shared with the Patient. I especially like his calm, direct and compassionate demeanor.
Before Treatment – The Problem
“What symptoms or challenges were you dealing with before coming to TMJ & Sleep Therapy?”
I experienced some mild sleepiness on certain days, I sometimes experienced headaches during the night that would wake me, my blood pressure was gradually rising and I strongly believed it was due to altered nighttime sleep as my diet, weight, routine stressors and exercise regimen had not changed.
“How were your symptoms affecting your day-to-day life, work, or sleep?”
I did not always feel well rested. I was feeling and looking tired. I had concern about my rising blood pressure.
“Had you seen other doctors or tried other solutions before coming here? What were those experiences like?”
I was diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea a few years ago. I tried and failed two different style CPAC devices/Masks. I started using pillows to try to maintain a side-lying sleep position - this was not usually successful. I used nasal strips without any noticeable differences or benefits.
Treatment Experience
“How was your experience with the treatment process itself?”
The treatment process has included trials - my first dental orthotic seemed to require hours of realignment of my jaw, this was disconcerting for me, I did feel discouraged and questioned the potential for success. My follow-up visits included conversations with Dr. Sims, his Assistant, Danielle, and Office Manager, Heather - they each had helpful information and reassurances that encouraged me to persevere.
“Were there any moments where you realized, ‘Wow, this is really working’?”
Yes!
“Did the staff or office environment help make the experience more comfortable or supportive?”
Yes. I received a new, second dental orthotic after voicing concerns following a trial period with the original orthotic, Dr. Sims made adjustments with the 2nd orthotic specifically related to my reports. And, following explanations by Dr. Sims and Danielle about how to properly tape my mouth at night, how to clean and properly care for my dental orthotic and reminders by Heather about how diet relates to inflammation and nasal congestion - all the pieces gradually came together in a very sensible way, this helped me to feel that this Treatment was a good fit for my needs. The follow-up and feedback has been very good. The entire Staff communicates in a way that shows my needs and concerns are important, they care about a successful outcome.
“Did anything surprise you during the treatment journey?”
Yes, that I love wearing a tape during the night while sleeping, achieving this was not easy and quick, it does take trial and error. Education, trouble-shooting-suggestions and reassurance by Dr. Sims was so valuable!
After Treatment – The Transformation
“What kind of changes have you noticed since starting treatment?”
Discovered that I breathe more naturally through my nose and not with an open mouth during daytime hours. My blood pressure decreased and is now consistently within normal range, this is the best side effect and it was noticeable quite quickly. I also feel more rested during the day. Nighttime headaches while sleeping are rare; whereas, I used to be awakened by them as they occurred often.
“How has your quality of life improved—physically, mentally, or emotionally?”
The improved blood pressure is a critical change and improvement - this was an important goal for me. I feel more relaxed and believe this is related to feeling more rested during the day....and, this makes me happier 🙂
“What would you say to someone who’s suffering the way you were, but hasn’t taken that first step yet?”
Please contact Dr. Sims office, Emily will answer your call, she is super professional and kind, she will get you started. Everyone in the office is very knowledgeable. They care about the Patient and show it by treating the Patient compassionately and promptly. I especially love their desire to educate the Patient along the way, to teach how Systems are related. It is obvious that they want the Patient to be informed and feel like part of the whole process and decisions made.
Would You Reccomend This Practice?
“If someone’s on the fence about calling Dr. Sims, what would you want them to know?”
Meet Dr. Sims, allow him to hear what your needs, wishes and concerns might be. Ask Dr. Sims the How, Why, What, When and Where questions, these questions will help you to decide if Dr. Sims and his Team are a good match and visa versa.
“Would you recommend Dr. Sims and his team to others? Why?”
Always! Based on my many years as a Patient with Dr. Sims and Heather (she is his Dental Hygienist for many years), I value their knowledge and more importantly, I appreciate their innate work ethic that has always yielded excellent care for me. I am very grateful to them! They care about quality and they want a happy Patient.
