★★★★★

“My patients are really happy with Wesper.”

Dr. Paz, DDS
★★★★★

“I received a referral of a patient from a sleep medicine surgeon at Cornell. An 18-year-old with very severe sleep apnea. He didn't want CPAP and was thinking about getting an oral appliance. I spoke to his mother, and what made her decide to go with us to make the appliance was that we can monitor him with Wesper.”

Dr. Chase, DDS
★★★★★

“Thanks to Wesper, we can now track the progress of compliance and efficacy of our patients with an oral appliance.”

Dr. Tucker, DMD
★★★★★

“I think Wesper is fantastic. I have a lot of patients that have evidence of a sleep issue but are resistant to going to a sleep doctor. By giving them Wesper, they can see for themselves in a very clinical way that they have an issue.”

Dr. Klioze, DDS

★★★★★

“The reason I can sell the Wesper and promote it so passionately is that it works! It has made such a positive impact on patient care. Without Wesper, I am compromising patient care. I congratulate Wesper on developing such a brilliant technological and powerful therapeutic monitoring device.”

Dr. Chase, DDS

★★★★★

“Wesper has enabled behavioral control while giving the patient ongoing feedback that's easy to access. It's inexpensive and a real game-changer in sleep medicine.”

Dr. Thornton, DDS
