Lifestyle Sleep

Michelle was very knowledgeable, read in advance the forms I had filled out, came prepared, offered new insights that my other doctors were not as clear or informed about, easy to talk with and one of my best experiences with a doctor. I would recommend Michelle to friends and family wholeheartedly.

I accompanied my mom to visit Redwood Pulmonary medical associates in Sequoia Hospital in July. We arrived there 15 minutes before the appointment, and I found out my mistake, it was a virtual visit, not an in-person visit. When my mom and I were distressed and thinking we might miss this appointment that we waited for months. The staff in the department did not brush us off like many other places would do. They actually came up with a plan for us in just a few minutes. Natalia and Emma B. notified Dr. Jonelis of the situation, found + sanitized a computer for my mother, set up everything inside a room,  and called an interrupter for us so we could start our virtual visit with Dr Jonelis.  You don't see this sort of kindness very often nowadays. My mom said to me at the end of the visit,

I think Dr, Jonelis is a great Dr, because she is honest with me...caring patient and understanding as I continue to struggle with my CPAP. She is very thorough not only because she has my past history right in front of her but also because she types up her recommendations and prints them out for me as well as my latest sleep record. She is also conscientious about responding to the requests from the pharmacy for prescription refills. .

Dr. Jonelis is extremely caring and takes time to hear out all my concerns and symptoms, as well as makes sure I understand her diagnosis and medications she is prescribing. I only wish she were closer to San Jose, but she's worth the extra trip up to Redwood City! Thank you Dr. Jonelis!

I'm so grateful to Dr. Jonelis for her oh-so practical approach to sleep. Some simple reframing of my sleep patterns and changes to my routine have made a world of difference. Honestly, I didn't think it was possible for such minor adjustments to have such major impact.
