Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Munson is honest, unpretentious, pragmatic in the best sense, respectful, and profoundly empathetic. His treatment strategies are thoroughly grounded in up-to-date medical knowledge, but chosen and shaped with the whole patient in mind. Patients are treated as fellow human beings working in partnership with Dr Munson to see which of the many tools he has will best improve their situation. This is an area of medicine where it seems each patient is almost certain to have been given the same set of "sleep hygiene" rules over and over, often mixed with implicit blame (or worse) if these rules don't solve one's problem. It is a hope-renewing experience to have Dr Munson truly listen to you and then offer help tailored to your specific problems while treating you as a whole person worthy of respect. I wish there were far more care-givers like Dr Munson.

care philosophy

In the electronic age of today’s healthcare, I make a point to listen and converse with my patients and their families instead of hovering over a keyboard. I think that my patients appreciate this and I think that it leads to better outcomes.
