Patient Reviews
Aug 03, 2024
I saw another 'specialist' for narcolepsy but after 10 plus years, no improvement. My primary doctor recommended Dr. Shorten. After more than a decade of significantly diminished quality of life, he turned things around very quickly. He's attentive, kind, knowledgeable, proactive, and an all-around God-send. In summary, Dr. Shorten gave me my life back.
