      Dr. Soose took me seriously and noticed an anomaly on a sleep study nobody else caught or could be bothered to tell me about. As a result, he referred me to another provider. I am now hopeful I'll get the help I've needed for so long. A bonus: Dr. Soose saw I'm due for a bone density test and submitted an order. That was really above and beyond.

      This was one of the best specialist visits I have had in years. I can not speak enough about the very connective way that Dr. Soose interacted with me. He spent time to listen and then respond to every question or observation I presented to him. He did this in a way that showed me he cared by eye contact and facial expression. He performed a VERY thorough ENT scope based exam and then took the time to play back the video of what he saw to with me. Rarely do I experience medical clinicians that take this kind of time with me. What a wonderful back to basics practice he is running (solid human interaction without a silly dictation headset on while performing the exam, proper eye contact, proper level of compassion and concern backed by wonderful suggestions to help, etc). THANK YOU

      Dr. Soose is the very best there is. The finest physician in the UPMC System. He knows more than just about any doctor anywhere and thinks outside the box in a remarkable way.

      I've had a sleep issue over the past 25 years,, and have seen maybe 10 different sleep specialists, including Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Dr.Soose is far and away the best of his kind IMHO.

      Dr Soose is consistently pleasant mannered and well prepared at my appts. He listens well and addresses my concerns. I can count on him to be well informed and up-to-date on new developments in his field. At this point, I see many doctors, but very few like Dr Soose. I give him my highest recommendation!

      As always, excellent care from Dr. Soose and also Dr. Oberlies. I felt like they listened to my questions and concerns and are doing everything possible to figure out my problem. I especially appreciate the teamwork-Dr. Soose does a very thorough job of communicating with my other doctors and working with them to come up with a plan. This is how all healthcare should be!

      The Doctor listed some options on a white board, talked about the order in which the options should be pursued, and then sat down and talked face-to-face with me. He articulated his opinion very clearly and explained his reasoning. I felt like I had the best possible advice.
