"Everyone that helped me today was extremely friendly and professional. It was overall a successful visit."

-Howard S.


"The team of professionals provides a comprehensive care and utilizes holistic approach to the patient health. Very well organized office operations make it easy to book appointments and communicate with the team. Dr. Mushlin is one of the rare medical professionals who delves deep into the patients' medical problems. He is an amazing doctor that I highly recommend to patients with pulmonary problems or sleeping disorders."

-Lilyana A.


"As a new patient with an issue they got me an appointment within 2 days. Paperwork was not overwhelming. And they are trying their best to solve my issue. Very courteous."

-Audhollie

"Dr Muslin is detailed oriented, patience and thorough with the tests he recommends and his explanation. He identified something that could have been life changing and recommended another specialist that was equally knowledgeable and professional."

- Cindi H.



"I can’t thank Dr. Mushlin and his team enough. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and caring. I have been seeing him for a couple years. He follows up and makes changes as needed. I live a couple hours away from his offices, so we do telemedicine appointments online and I wouldn’t change to another doctor even if I had to drive 2 hours to see him. I feel very confident that I am in good hands with Dr. Mushlin. I highly recommend him. His team is very professional and always courteous."

"I was one of the first people infected with a possible case of covid back in early 2020 (no covid testing at the time) after being sick in late January through much of February 2020 I was consistently short of breath and coughing. My primary dr at that time did not understand what was going on.


In 2022 I switched dr's in search of answers and was recommended by my primary dr to go to Dr Mushlin to have everything checked out. It turned out I had developed moderate asthma. From the time of my first visit up until now, everyone has been fantastic. They explained everything to me and got me on treatment that is working. I can happily say my breathing has improved greatly, and my coughing is now controlled.


If anyone is having breathing issues or uncontrolled coughing, I highly recommend going to see Dr muslin and his staff, they can help you breathe easy again!"

-Joe V.


"Dr Mushlin and his staff are refreshing. I haven’t seen a doctor in years that truly cares about his patient. He is professional, expert in his care and compassionate. I was sick for months and saw my family doctor for months with a bronchitis, I was given several different antibiotics, along with steroids, with no results. I then saw dr Mushlin , in one visit, he prescribed treatment and I was better in a few weeks. He is an excellent doctor!!!!!!"

- Sharon N.


"I am extremely grateful for the exceptional care my daughter received from Dr. Mushlin and his staff. In just a few months, they were able to diagnose her condition, a process that often takes a decade. This efficiency alone speaks volumes about their expertise. What sets Dr. Mushlin apart is not just the speed of diagnosis but also the genuine care he demonstrated throughout the journey. His attentiveness and understanding made a challenging situation more manageable. I highly recommend Dr. Mushlin and his dedicated team for their expertise and compassionate approach to patient care. Thank you so very much for your care and expertise that you have given to my daughter. We are forever grateful"

- Melissa B.


"Dr. Neil Mushlin and his team at Advocare Pulmonary and Sleep Specialists are an incredible team of professional, exceptionally intelligent, and extremely caring medical experts. Dr. Mushlin has been treating me through covid, covid pneumonia, pneumonia, and long covid. My case has been very complicated dealing with a lot of unknowns and identifying underlying issues I never knew I had. Dr. Mushlin has been there every step along the way providing stellar care and attention even in the face of countless obstacles. Dr. Mushlin came extremely highly recommended to me by three other doctors, and my experience has confirmed that he’s absolutely one of the best pulmonologists in the area and beyond. The level of care provided is stellar, and I’m truly lucky to be under the care of such a great doctor and his amazing team.

- Melissa W.


"I have the utmost respect for Dr. Muslin. Before his help I was not able to walk to my car. Within six months because of Dr. Mushlin's care I am back to kayaking which was my goal. He took so much time with me to figure out what was best for me

The care at the office is unbelievable from the front desk to the special person who gives me my monthly injections. I am so deeply grateful to everyone of the nurse practitioners who took their time explaining everything to me

Thank you very much Dr. Mushlin and everyone else in your office."

- Christine B.

"I am so grateful to have a doctor of Dr. Mushlin's caliber to help me with my sleep apnea and breathing issues, and now my Long COVID difficulties. He is dedicated to the care of each patient as an individual, addressing my concerns, listening to my questions with patience and attentiveness to detail, while providing clear, well-informed answers and a balanced perspective. If he doesn't have a particular expertise he knows the doctor to refer me to for help. Although his is a busy practice as most medical practices are nowadays, he never makes me feel rushed to finish or that I'm just one more person with complaints. He is precise, respectful, courteous, and prepared for each interaction. I left his office today feeling reassured and hopeful instead of exhausted and defeated. He deserves respect and praise for his devotion to the care of all of his patients in addition to diagnosing and treating maladies with expertise."

- Phyllis L.


"Dear Dr. Mushlin, I truly cannot thank you enough for the care and time you have given me over the last six weeks. I had been suffering with Long Covid symptoms that were completely debilitating since July 1, 2022. I was almost completely homebound with fever, fatigue and significant trouble breathing.  By a stroke of luck when I called for an appointment on a Friday I was seen the next Monday. When we first met I could barely walk and breathe at the same time, With your treatment plan and care I am now able to take a walk,bike ride and move around without oxygen assistance and I am getting my life back. You are so busy with so many patients that you have even made time to see me early in the morning to be sure I am progressing as you would like. I am beyond grateful for all the services I have received from Dr. Mushlin and his entire staff. Whenever I call with a question or concern I am greeted with friendly, supportive and professional staff that quickly attends to all my needs. Thank you Dr. Mushlin and your whole team for everything you have done to help me get better."

- Julie F.



"I have been seeing Dr. Mushlin for about 10 years for a sleep disorder. He is a very professional, personable, knowledgeable, and caring doctor. During my first visit, he really took the time to listen to me and knew right away what was going on. He was very thorough and, after a few sleep study tests, gave me an official diagnosis. He found a treatment plan that works for me through trial-and-error and he continues to successfully treat me. The office staff has always been very caring and professional as well. I will continue to see him for as long as he practices. I highly recommend him." 

- Jacqueline L.

"I had a chronic cough, over 7 weeks (from Covid), and my primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Mushlin. He was booked over two months out, but his staff was so sympathetic to my situation, they booked me virtually for next day!. Dr. Mushlin was able to get me on the right medications and I saw improvement within a matter of days. I know there are people in worse conditions than me, but when you have uncontrollable cough for 7 weeks, words cannot express how appreciative I am to finally stop coughing! I have had multiple meetings with Dr. Mushlin and can tell you he is truly passionate and sympathetic about his patients! 5 stars all the way!!!"

- K Warner



"This is my second review regarding Dr. Neil Mushlin because i cannot contain my praise.

Once again, Dr. Mushlin has called me on a Saturday to inform me of an issue with my lungs and has prescribed medication to solve it. I have every confidence in the world that he is prescibing the right course of action. After all, he gave me back my life about 7 months ago when, again, he called me on a Saturday to tell me that I was highly anemic. No other doctor bothered to do a thorough review of all my symptoms. I am a new person with energy - i go to the gym and babysit my 16 month old granddaughter all without feeling breathless. In addition to my treatment, he recommended a nebulizer and a respiratory vest and these are treatments, though time consuming, have really made a big difference. I love having Dr. Mushlin as my doctor and I love the people in his practice at all offices. THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS and this is what you want in a medical practice. They are the real deal and I am grateful everyday for their gift of breathing!" 

-Denise V.


"Dr. Mushlin and his staff are fantastic. I struggled as a long hauler with the lingering effects of COVID. I was ill for many months. Neil and his staff listened with a caring ear and were extremely thorough as he and his team worked diligently to get me back to being and feeling myself. To me, a relationship with your medical provider built on quality of care, caring, and trust is irreplaceable. I highly recommend Neil and the team at Advocare Pulmonary & Sleep Specialists!" 

-Robert M.


"I highly recommend Dr. Neil Mushlin. I began seeing Dr. Mushlin in March. He thoroughly reviewed my previous history, and was immediately concerned about my well being and arranged for precautionary measures. He is focusing on stabilizing my lungs in addition to my airway clearance. Not only did he allow my son to ask specific questions, he listened and gave thorough, thoughtful responses. His staff is extremely friendly, caring, attentive and takes every measure to make sure each patient feels comfortable, including myself. 

-Daryl W.


"I was referred to Dr. Mushlin by my GP, since I had a continuing cough after what I thought was a lingering sinus infection, although I “almost” didn’t make an appointment as I tried to ride it out. From day one when scheduling my first appt w/Lisa, I was already impressed with overall sincere kindness & top-notch customer service. When meeting Dr. Mushlin & his staff, I knew that I had made the right decision. After a thorough consult, Dr. Mushlin ordered several tests to determine the cause & also check my immune system. Amazingly, too, that in-between follow-up appointments, Dr. Mushlin called me with updates, plus he called to assure I understood one of the test results. After prescribing a different type inhaler, my coughing symptoms are finally resolved. And, after having a Chest CT Scan, it also revealed having coronary artery disease, which is a blessing in disguise, as I would’ve never known about this added issue. Fortunate to have listened to my GP to see Dr. Mushlin, & I’m now seeing a cardiologist for further tests. 

     

I typically don’t take the time to write reviews, whether positive or negative; however, having experienced several appointments with Dr. Mushlin is reason for giving him a 5-star AND above rating! Dr. Mushlin & his staff (Monica Hess, Doreen, Sheila, Star, Mary, & Lisa to name a few) are all a perfect example of customer care. I highly recommend Dr. Mushlin as he truly cares about his patients, & I’m actually looking forward to seeing him & his staff at my next 6-month follow-up!"

- Phyllis R.


"For a couple of years, I had been working with a pulmonologist @ Penn Medicine regarding my sleep apnea and daytime fatigue. During one of my visits, he stated that I need to get use to my fatigue as this would be considered “my new normal”. After hearing this, I decided to immediately change doctors. My PCP referred me to Dr. Mushlin @ Advocare Pulmonary and Sleep Specialists.


Dr. Mushlin and his staff have been wonderful to work with. As my condition appears to be elusive, Dr. Mushlin has gone above and beyond in attempts to resolve it, much more than the Penn doctor. His concern for me is genuine and a priority.


Also, his staff has been attentive to my needs. Recently, I had two problems, one regarding my medical supply firm and the other working with my prescription insurance company in obtaining a unique medication. Kudos to both Monica and Erin, respectively, in providing the help that I needed to resolve both concerns!


I would highly recommend Advocare and Dr. Mushlin."

-Bruce G.


"For years, I had progressively worsening tiredness, a condition that started in high school. As years went on the problem would slowly get worse. I would fall asleep easily, was always tired, wake up with headache, etc. In the last two years, I had seen a number of specialists, and it was determined I had sleep apnea. However, the problem never seemed to get resolved. I was referred to Dr. Mushlin by another reputable ENT office and Dr. Mushlin found my problem. I am now working with him to treat my condition but after a week of initial treatment, I have felt better than I have in so many years!


Another important note is that Dr. Mushlin's bedside manner is really good. There are many good doctors out there, but few that have an equally pleasant bedside manner. It is important, at least to me, to have a doctor that is not only an expert in his/her field, but empathizes with the patient. Dr. Mushlin is one of those doctors."

-Steve R.


"I wanted to share my experience with Dr. Mushlin and staff. I was diagnosed with COPD in my early 50's, but never smoked. As I got older my breathing became more of a struggle. I became frustrated because everything that was suggested by my doctor never seemed to really help. I decided to get a second opinion. After an initial consult with Dr. Mushlin, he ordered some genetic testing and discovered a rare genetic disease I was born with called Alpha1. None of the doctors I went to prior to Dr. Mushlin tested me for Alpha1. Dr. Mushlin took the time to answer all my questions, explain to me in detail my diagnoses and the affect is was having on my lungs and breathing and treatment options available to me to help address my underlying Alpha1. The office staff was great. I was able to get an appointment quickly and everybody was so helpful and friendly. I am very happy with my experience with Dr. Mushlin. I would definitely recommend him."

-RL


"This office (Exton) is bright, cheery, and welcoming. The staff are professional and very pleasant. The nurses are so easy to talk to! Dr. Mushlin took the time to explain my treatment, until I was comfortable. He didn’t rush me, he took his time to explain everything. I felt better leaving the office!"

- Lauren B.


"We thank the staff, each staff member...we SALUTE Dr. Mushlin. His awesome professional knowledge, his incredible dedication to his patients, and let me repeat, HIS INCREDIBLE DEDICATION TO HIS PATIENTS, has been a gift to all members of these families. We have had some serious health issues he has worked tirelessly on....to improve our health and the quality of our life. Without Dr. Mushlin and how he treats and cares for his patients, we might not be here to read your greetings. We thank you all... HAPPY HOLIDAYS! "

- Harry H.


"The nurses and Dr. Mushlin are the BEST healthcare group I have ever come into contact with, and I don’t say that lightly. I’ve never experienced so many people who actually listen and care. They put my treatment right into motion and made sure I was okay every step of the way. Dr. Neil has to be the most compassionate and dedicated doctor in the world. He thinks of everything and runs every test to make sure you’re okay. I’m forever grateful to this group. Dr. Neil and his team were able to find the cause of my discomfort in no time! I’m very happy to be working with them on the road to feeling better. 10000/10 stars."

-Kacie R.


"Dr. Neil Mushlin has been my sleep specialist and pulmonologist now for seven years. From my first appointment, and forward, I’ve been impressed with his sharp diagnostic skills, his thoroughness, and his patience and kindness when I needed him to repeat his explanations.. Dr. Mushlin is a physician who truly is in “my corner,” going to bat for me with insurance issues and making sure I am able to get the prescribed medications. I’m thankful for his care and heartily recommend his services.”

-Becky G.


"Doctor Mushlin has been my doctor for 7 years. The best thing about him is his thoroughness. After having a heart attack a few years back Doctor Mushlin checked my lungs fastidiously for any weakness that may have contributed to the attack. He asks all of the important questions consults, frequently with other physicians and listens to all of my concerns. These are the reasons I have great confidence in Doctor Mushlin. Because he values painstaking patient care, Doctor Mushlin has surrounded himself with a capable and conscientious staff. In addition to all of this there is a very pleasant and patient centered atmosphere at Doctor Mushlin's office. I would definitely recommend him and am more than satisfied with his care."

-Sister Bernadette


"I had just turned 40 and I started sleeping non-stop. I owned a business that was closing due to regulations changing. My family and friends felt I was depressed but I felt fine about my situation and everything in my life except for my abnormal daytime sleeping. I went to see Dr. Mushlin for possible sleep apnea. The test showed minimal apnea which wouldn't account for the excessive sleepiness. Dr. Mushlin started asking me more about my sleep habits and my history. It was determined ( after some time) that I had narcolepsy. Dr. Mushlin worked with me on a treatment respecting my wishes, listening to my concerns, and offered help and or a solution at every turn. It was a long journey but I am back to my normal self. I am extremely grateful to him and his team. Never once did I feel like I was a burden to them. They always responded to my request and made sure to get back to me within a reasonable amount of time."

-Todd L.


"I have been under Dr. Mushlin’s care for a little over 1 year and I highly recommend Dr. Mushlin for any pulmonary as well as sleep disorder needs. Dr. Mushlin has been a lifesaver for me. I trust him completely when he prescribes different meds. During my appointments he always takes the time to patiently listen to what I have to say and answers all questions I may have.When I first went to Dr. Mushlin my asthma was flared up and I really feel Dr. Mushlin took the time and went above and beyond to make me feel asthmas free. He knew exactly how to regulate my medication to get the best results. I remember Dr. Mushlin calling me over the weekend to check on my condition. I feel Dr. Mushlin has taken the time to research how my asthma, sleep disorder, and anxiety are all connected. Dr. Mushlin truly cares about his patients and is up to date with all the latest medications. Dr. Mushlin goes out of his way and in my case with his suggestions of medication has made me feel asthma free. Dr. Mushlin suggested Xolair Shots once a month and I am currently on my 14th shot, and I feel great! 


Anyone who has asthma knows that feeling of being fearful of being short of breath but ever since I have been with Dr. Mushlin I feel safe to exercise, run, hike, and ride my bike and never feel the need to use my rescue inhaler.


Dr. Mushlin always explains each medication and suggests different meds if current meds are not getting the results he was hoping for me. He has also helped me with my sleep disorder, and has gone above and beyond to get me at a comfortable sleeping pattern.

I have to mention his awesome office staff. The receptionist , respiratory therapist, nurses, and billing staff are always going out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They are all professional and very pleasant and are willing to answer any questions.

I have been suffering with asthma for over 30 years and recently feel so fortunate to be under a professional and caring doctor; Dr. Neil Mushlin."

- Cathleen L.


"Dr. Mushlin is very intelligent and was able to identify the root cause of my problem. I'm looking forward to start treatment and feeling better."

- Mike D.


When I started seeing dr Mushlin, I was very sick. He made it known since the beginning that he was there to help and wouldn’t give up. I haven’t been to a hospital in years and rarely haven’t gotten sick. Dr Mushlin never rushes you and is there to listen. I’m very thankful for a great doctor like him."

-Jen E.


"Dr. Mushlin is an amazing physician who truly cares about his patients. He has a “take-no-chances” approach to diagnosing and treating pulmonary issues. I was referred to him by my primary physician after a lung nodule was incidentally found on a cat scan for another condition. He took me in at 6:30 in the morning on my first visit. And, while nodules are often found in incidental scans and are typically nothing, he took no chances. He ordered a PET scan immediately and had me back in his office at 6:30 am again after the results were in. By 7:00 AM that morning, he had contacted a pulmonary interventionist who got me in at 9:30 AM that day based on his request. He wanted there to be no delays in getting a diagnosis and plan of care in place. He was reassuring and extremely helpful in calming my anxiety. In short time thereafter, my thoracic surgeon, primary physician, pulmonary interventionalist, and Dr. Mushlin became my top-notch medical team who were constantly in touch with each other via text and other means over my plan of care. His “take-no-chances” philosophy probably saved my life. He is was, and continues to be, a true God send. I am so blessed that he continues to care for me as his patient and that he become such an important member of my personal medical team. His staff is also cordial and will do everything they can to serve Dr. Mushlin’s patients well."

- Chris C.


"Dr Mushlin has been truly a lifesaver helping me deal with Bronchiectasis. Never feel rushed with my questions .He is extremely knowledgeable and makes living with this diagnose much less anxiety provoking .His staff are truly helpful in a very personal way .I feel blessed to have him as a caregiver and I would highly recommend his expertise to anyone with pulmonary issues."

-Eileen S.


"Dr. Mushlin combines modern medical skill with old-fashioned bedside manner not seen anymore. After 6 years of an unexplained chronic illness and spending the last 3 years of my life in bed, pulmonary nodules and a last ditch effort for answers brought me to Dr. Mushlin. What immediately stood out were his compassion, listening skills and determination to help his patients. I have seen dozens of doctors that could not or would not take the time to help me figure this out and Dr. Mushlin and his staff have been exceptional in thier ability to be the opposite. Even when finding the issues on a CT scan, he is not content to treat the symptoms and is pushing forward to find the root of the issue. He ha called me far after business hours to explain tests, seen me as often as I needed while getting my lung and breathing issues under control. Jenn and Lisa in the office have been simply amazing. Myself and my family cannot thank you all enough for caring and helping me begin the process of getting my life back."

- Jennifer C.


"I started seeing Dr. Mushlin about 1 year ago for coughing and difficulty breathing. He was diligent in finding the best combination of therapies for me and coordinated with my other doctors that nothing he prescribed interfered with my other meds. I had a setback and he saw me right away and provided me with the proper RXs.


Shortly after that, he was going on vacation.  He called me the day before he left to check on me and insisted that I call him in case any problems came up. Upon his return, he also called to inquiry how I was doing and making sure I was OK. I have never had a physician with as much compassion and concern. How fortunate I was to be referred to him by my family physician." 

- Phyllis H.


"I can't say enough good things about the wonderful results I'm having with the Xolair shots. I have environmental allergies, which is one of my asthma triggers. For the first time that I can remember, I walked into a house with a cat and had no reaction. It's been amazing and I feel so much better. Without my allergy triggers I had a sinus infection that didn't turn into a 6 week nightmare of steroids and waiting for pneumonia to develop. I'm so grateful for Dr Mushlin for suggesting Xolair." 

-Lori W. 


"Every doctor swears to “do no harm”. My doctor, Dr. Mushlin goes above and beyond his oath as he is embodies everything a patient hopes for. He actively listens. He asks the right questions and gives thoughtful feedback. Dr. Mushlin balances caring “bedside manner” and humor with precise and erudite insight and diagnosis. Additionally, I listen to the way he interacts with his nurses and staff and it seems that respect is given to all. I am a 47 year old woman with narcolepsy. Many women my age are dismissed as being hormonal and unheard for being a complainer. Dr. Mushlin listened, cared and solved. He was mindful in issuing the best medication that has allowed me to function. He is fully accessible and insists upon following up to monitor my health and medication. I am so lucky to have a normal functioning life now; I credit that normalcy to him. Additionally the nurses and office staff are friendly and helpful."

-Jill A.


"I have been seeing Dr. Mushlin for the last five years, both for sleep apnea and issues related to asthma and lung health. Dr. Mushlin has worked diligently to improve my health, continually seeking new alternatives that would give me better control of my health. Dr. Mushlin and his staff are wonderful people with kind hearts who really listen and explained everything so I could better understand my own role in controlling my health. Couldn't ask for a better team!"

-Julie S.


"I can’t begin to express how impressed I am with Dr. Mushlin and his staff. I located him from a google search but wanted someone that had solid reviews, not stars, but written words of compliments. Well these positive reviews were spot on. 

I have since had a few visits and each time his staff members were warm and welcoming.


Dr. Mushlin has never made me feel rushed while listening to my symptoms, self observations, and concerns. He has calmed me when I have become anxious over my condition and has assured me that he has a solid plan. He even called my family doctor and left a message for him to call him to discuss my case. Taking time to discuss my overall well-being allows a comprehensive approach to my health. I have never had another doctor go this extra step. 


Dr. Mushlin has called me to check in with me and ask how I am doing. He cares and that is so refreshing in this crazy world. He has delivered test results quickly as he knew I was nervous and scared. I have not left his office or ended a phone call without my concerns and questions unanswered. I am confident in his care, knowledge and approach. I feel safe in trusting my health to him. I know he is only a phone call away if I am struggling. I highly recommend his practice without any reservations."

- Christine G.


" I would HIGHLY reccomend Dr. Mushlin. He is clear and concise with all information dealing with my medical condition. Professional and prompt during EVERY appointment. Additionally, I admire the answers of confidence pertaining to medical information during my appointments. I trust Dr. Mushlin and that's a characteristic I strive for in a care provider! have been a patient of Dr. Mushlin for 3 years and I am so happy with his practice!" 

- Holly K.


"Dr Mushlin literally saved my life – and has improved my quality of my life ever since. 

Four years ago, I became very sick with what was diagnosed by two doctors as “pneumonia” – but it wouldn’t go away with antibiotics and bedrest and was getting worse by the day. I was very sick and couldn’t breathe. My family doctor recommended that I go to Dr. Mushlin. Dr. Mushlin was the only doctor able to correctly diagnose that I have a relatively rare condition; Acute Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis with underlying chronic asthma. He put me on a protocol of steroids and antibiotics and I got well in about 8 weeks. I have been seeing him ever since to stay well and for treatment when I get sick from exposures and flare-ups that could not be avoided. 


Three months ago, Dr. Mushlin suggested a new treatment called XOLAIR that he said might reduce the need for steroids and told me that he believed that the new medication would help me get better, feel better overall and possibly eliminate the need for weekly allergy shots. Boy, was he right! After starting the new medication - I was able to hike in Lake Tahoe CA at an elevation of over 6,000 feet – even in the smoky conditions from nearby forest fires. I am now walking and hiking every day and the chronic cough that I have had for 20 years is practically gone! I even notice that my hair is filling in! It’s amazing! 

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Mushlin!"

-Mary Lu H.


"Dr. Mushlin is truly one of the most exceptional doctors I have ever met. One of my physicians strongly recommended that I see Dr. Mushlin because he suspected that I might have a sleep problem. Admittedly, I was a bit reluctant initially; I truly believed my only sleep problem was not getting enough! However, seeing Dr. Mushlin is one of the best decisions I have made. As a patient with an autoimmune disease, I have seen a multitude of medical specialists from several top, well-known institutions over the course of 15 years. I’ve never had a doctor ask so many pointed, relevant questions that addressed specific symptoms other doctors considered coincidental and/or not indicative of some other underlying issue. Since I began seeing Dr. Mushlin, my entire well-being has improved dramatically. His treatment plan has allowed me to get the much-needed restorative sleep necessary to help regulate the levels of dopamine in my body. As such, my depression has drastically decreased and I feel better than I have in decades. I am able to focus and complete tasks that used to feel impossible. Not only am I finally starting to feel like myself again, but my family and friends also see this change in me. I owe this amazing change completely to Dr. Mushlin. He treats his patients with care and compassion and will give you all of the time you need. Your questions will be answered intelligently, thoughtfully, and thoroughly. I am truly blessed to be Dr. Mushlin’s patient.

 

Dr. Mushlin employs a kind and courteous staff in a very clean, comfortable environment. One of the best things about the practice is the state-of-the-art equipment that allows you to complete the sleep studies in your own home. If you have ever done a sleep study in a lab, you will appreciate what a tremendous gift this is! I strongly recommend Dr. Mushlin to anyone who is struggling with sleep problems; it can change your life!"

-Mia S.


"I am 65 years old and have suffered with asthma and allergies my entire life. I should also mention that I suffer from sleep apnea, which just added to my complications. From the moment I walked in the door and met Marisa, who is the receptionist, I knew I had arrived in a compassionate and efficient office.


My appointment was at 7:00 a.m. By 6:59 a.m., I was on the examination table where Daphne, one of Dr. Mushlin’s medical assistants, proceeded to: review my paperwork; take my vital signs; and answered any questions I had. Next, I met Dr. Mushlin, and we talked for quite awhile. He then examined me. After the examination, he stated he had medication that would change my life. After a complete workup, we decided to start the medication. Lisa his medical assistant administered the first dose of the medication and completed all the paperwork I would need to move forward with future doses. By the next afternoon, I had received the phone calls that Lisa said to expect -- I did not have to lift a finger. Lisa managed everything for me.


Prior to starting the medication, I was using my rescue inhaler 6-8 times a day, as well as using my nebulizer, and never felt comfortable. I was wheezing constantly and just felt terrible. From the very first doze, I stopped using the rescue inhaler and the nebulizer. Even with the use of a stethoscope, you can hardly hear a slight wheeze. I am now in my tenth week of medication, and I have never felt better. In addition to the great results I am experiencing with my asthma, Denise, a respiratory therapist, has also assisted me with the use of a CPAP machine. I now sleep through the night. My wife has not complained about my snoring, and I am no longer tired all the time. Over the past 3 months, I have called with a number of questions and the Doctor and/or his staff promptly returns my calls. Just today Dr. Mushlin himself called me just to tell me he reviewed my test results and I have an appointment to review things in person so that he can give me a detailed explanation buy reviewing the results and pictures in person. 

 

 trust him so much that my wife is going to see him about her sleeping issues. I am sure she will have the same great results that I am having.

 

I would recommend Dr. Mushlin to anyone suffering from any sort of pulmonary or sleep issues. You will be thankful you took my recommendation seriously."

- David C.


"Dr. Mushlin is an awesome doctor! Super personable and very knowledgeable. I have always had to call and leave messages asking doctors to call me with my test results - but not with Dr. Mushlin! He called me on a Saturday to go over my test results and even took the time to review my sleep study results too! The Exton office is very clean and everyone that works there has been so kind to me. I can't recommend them enough!"

- Jen


"When I first met Dr. Mushlin, I was down to sleeping only 3 hours per night and I was a walking zombie. After an overnight sleep study, I later learned that my brain was awakening me every 3 minutes or so. Dr. Mushlin wanted to put me on a certain drug right away, but my insurance company objected. I had to try drugs A, B, and C, first, to see if any of them worked. Well, Dr. Mushlin was right all along. He knew what would help me. Whether your problem is sleep or lung related, smiling Dr. Mushlin is the best doc around and he’s humble, too! You won’t be sorry if you let him and his staff take care of your medical needs."

- Roberta P.


"I found Dr. Mushlin to be very generous with the amount of time he spends with his patients. He takes a thorough history and gives great consideration to the information you provide. He is caring and attentive and wants to solve the medical issue presented to him."

- Ryan P.


"Dr. Mushlin gave me my life back! I was SO tired all of the time and I had no idea what was wrong with me! He diagnosed me and put me on proper medication. Now I can function again! I am SO appreciative! Dr. Mushlin and his staff are extremely helpful and reliable, I don’t know what I would do without them!"

- Rachel S.


"Dr. Mushlin is an amazing doctor that I trust with my life. He is caring, compassionate and empathetic, all the qualities you want in a doctor. He is always on top of the latest research, treatment protocols and the best medication that will treat you efficiently. I recommend him to anyone in need of a pulmonary doctor or sleep specialist. I have been his patient for 2.5 years.


I trust him so much that I brought my mother in as a patient. Dr. Mushlin was treating my mother for sleep and pulmonary care, and he saved her life on more than one occasion. Under his care, she was breathing the best she had been able to breathe in over a decade and was able to be more active and have a better quality of life. We are forever indebted to him for that alone."

- Judith M.


"I met Dr. Mushlin when I was having severe insomnia, restless legs, asthma and chronic pain. He figured out what the problems were and we started to address them one by one. Over the next few weeks I started to get relief. First he got me back to sleep without a sleeping pill. He taught me sleep hygiene and it helped. Next he got my restless legs to calm down and my asthma in check.


I've been his patient for at least five years. He is articulate, kind, and patient. He truly cares about his patients. Among his specialties are pulmonary, sleep care and critical care to name a few. I highly recommend Dr. Mushlin to anyone experiencing health issues that seem unmanageable or out of control. He will figure them out and you'll get relief! I promise. Thank you Dr. Mushlin!

- Helen S.


“Dr. Mushlin has been my pulmonologist through a very tough year of respiratory illness. He has treated me with care and respect, always listening to and working with my preferences as to treatment. He returns calls promptly and is thorough in looking at all aspects of respiratory health. I’m happy to say we even cured my illness.”

-Andrea S.


"Dr. Mushlin is a keen listener and was the first medical care professional to ask me questions to get to an answer that would improve my sleep and overall health. He continues to ask questions and listen to find the perfect balance of treatment for me and as a result has built trust. I would follow him to any practice. His patience and understanding has allowed me to communicate openly with him. He is very responsive and caring as well as has a great sense of humor. I would recommend him to anyone."

- Tamara M.


"Dr. Mushlin gave me a life I thought I could never have! In my first visit with Dr. Mushlin, he asked the right questions and really listened to me explain my symptoms. During that initial visit, he gave me answers to my issues that 20 years of previous doctors never could. After my sleep test, he called me with the final results within one day and clearly explained to me my next steps. He went above and beyond to help me with insurance claims and getting my new medicines. It has been 3 years since that Sleep Test. Dr. Mushlin still always calls me right back, listens to any medication questions and discusses with me the newest treatments/medications for my sleep disorder. Dr. Mushlin helped my life go from constant exhaustion and struggle to now to being able to go out with my spouse after work, work in the yard on the weekends and actually enjoy the holidays." 

- Jet K.


"Having a condition and Being in my late 40’s, I’ve gotten quite a collection of specialists. That being said, Dr. Neil Mushlin quickly became my favorite doctor. His professionalism and pleasant bedside manner put me at ease. Excellent communication and an ability to make me feel that my concerns are taken seriously, make me feel cared for. I don’t feel like a chart in a filing cabinet. I feel like a friend. I’m sorry that I have pulmonary issues, but not sorry that Dr. Mushlin is taking care of me, I feel like everything is going to be OK. He’s a good man and a great Doctor. He has my gratitude and my respect."

- Lane O.


"Dr. Mushlin is an exceptional pulmonologist who is compassionate, caring person and a truly understanding doctor. His demeanor and bedside manner is calm, positive, thorough and attentive. I was referred to Dr. Mushlin by my family physician. I required an expert who was very knowledgeable and dedicated to the care of patients who have Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. When I leave his office, I am confident in his prescribed care."

- Barb M.


"Dr. Mushlin is not only an extraordinarily competent pulmonologist, it is obvious to me that he truly cares about my health. He actually listens when I talk to him, taking the time to fully understand my illness symptoms. I honestly believe I would not be alive today without his taking the extra steps to meticulously and accurately diagnosis my condition, and come up with the treatment protocol to save my life."

- Jean K.


"I struggle with asthma and have been in and out of the hospital. When doctors couldn’t find out how to make my health better, Dr. Mushlin never gave up looking for answers and now I’m healthier and happier than I have been in a very long time and haven’t been in the hospital in over a year. He is an amazing doctor and truly cares about his patients. He makes you feel comfortable and listens to your concerns and truly makes you think you are his only patient. I respect him as a doctor and would recommend him to anyone who wants a passionate doctor who cares about his patients and always puts them first!"

- Robyn C.


"It has been my extreme good fortune to have been referred to Dr. Mushlin about 7 years ago. His genuine care and concern is very atypical these days. He’s very thorough, knowledgeable and precise in every aspect of caring for each patient. He has taken care of both sleep medicine and pulmonary issues for me always being sure to explain his rationale and to listen. Dr. Mushlin always takes the time needed and I’m always reassured that I won’t be rushed along if I truly need his attention. He has even checked in on me just to see how I’m doing. You’re in very good hands placing your care with Dr. Mushlin.

- Rosanne M.


"After retiring I developed breathing issues and problems including reactions to the many medications I was taking. I was treated for allergies and other issues without success. After several years of problems I was referred to Dr. Mushlin. He started me on a journey to find the source and path to take to deal with my asthma and allergies. His knowledge and commitment to my health issues has been successful and given me the confidence and trust to hope for a healthier life."

- Evelyn I. 


"Dr. Mushlin has been treating me for almost 7 years for asthma/COPD. I was going through doctors who had no idea what was going on with symptoms I was having or how to treat me. One doctor was saying one thing, and another something completely different. When I cam in for an appointment with Dr. Mushlin, right away he put in orders for things no other doctor had. He asked questions no other doctor had and he started to put the pieces together. Not long after I was diagnosed with Lupus and began treatment. He has been so helpful and doesn't stop until the problem is solved. I've never had a doctor who cares about his patients and fights for what his patients need. He's very knowledgeable on a tremendous amount of things and makes sure you understand everything before leaving the office. I'm so glad that he is going to be starting his own practice, as I will continue to see him there and get the best care possible!"

- Melissa C.


"If you are looking for a knowledgeable, experienced practitioner with compassion and a bedside manner like you have never seen before you found him, Dr. Mushin. I was hospitalized a few years ago and he would come visit me everyday, even when he was not on call. Dr. Mushlin is a wonderful listener and respects and cares for his patients. I feel comfortable discussing my condition and plan of care with him. He is hands down the best doctor I ever had. I would highly recommend Dr. Mushlin."

- Diana D.


"It is my pleasure to recommend Doctor Mushlin to anyone suffering from breathing or sleep issues. Over the years, I have seen multiple specialists who each tried different treatments. None of them made a true difference, until Dr. Mushlin. He was the only one who asked fresh questions and then carefully considered my answers. After further testing, he provided a new diagnosis never even mentioned as a possibility by my other doctors. His diagnosis and treatment have made an extraordinary difference in my life. 


Dr. Mushlin is in that rare breed of specialists who can still see the big picture, not just the facts that fit their own specialty. During a routine follow up, he listened to my vague minor complaints, and then urged me to see a cardiac specialist. When I protested, saying nothing seemed that severe, Dr. Mushlin’s patient explanation of why it was important to rule out heart disease led me to act quickly. I am glad I did: shortly after my visit, I was admitted for a procedure that saved me from an imminent, and probably fatal, heart attack. 


Dr. Mushlin’s exemplary combination of passion, knowledge, and experience, coupled with his friendly style has made a tremendous difference in my life. I know he will work exceedingly hard to make an equal difference in yours."

“I want to wholeheartedly thank Dr. Neil Mushlin for his attentive care over many years. Through his expertise and thoroughness, he diagnosed that I had a contracted a serious lung disorder. Dr. Mushlin ensured I immediately received the best possible care. As he continued to monitor my progress, he helped me obtain the finest medical attention from specialists, which included extensive testing and treatment. He is a consummate medical professional in every sense of word.”

- Jose G.


"I have been a patient of Dr. Mushlin since 2010. He was able to recognize the seemingly unrelated symptoms, previously dismissed by other doctors, as Narcolepsy. An accurate diagnosis and adequate treatment changed my life from barely existing to regaining the ability to really live. He cares about patients and is willing to listen if symptoms become problematic so treatment can be adjusted appropriately. I have recommend Dr. Mushlin to several friends looking for a sleep specialist as well."

- Brandy A.


"It was 2010 when I first met Dr. Neil Mushlin, while I was admitted into the hospital with dangerous low oxygen levels. I was 49 when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had 36 rounds radiation treatments and was subscribed the drug Tamoxifen. Fatigue set in, my breathing was labored with shortness of breath and I was frightened, worn out and in bad shape.

 

Dr. Mushlin greeted me with comforting bedside manner and was determined to find out what was causing my symptoms. Dr. Mushlin contacted my Oncologists to discuss my health together. I was overwhelmed with his kindness and knew he truly cared and was determined to find out what was going on. I knew that Dr. Mushlin was dedicated to me “his patient.” 

 

The following week I had a follow up with Dr. Mushlin in his office. Dr. Mushlin asked permission to converse with other colleges, as this was a very unusual and puzzling rare case. It was determined that the drug Tamoxifen was creating side effects that were damaging my lung tissue. Dr. Mushlin immediately contacted my Oncologists and reviewed with them his plan for my recovery. 

 

We spent almost 1 year together with follow up visits. Never did I have to wait long or felt rushed at his office. Dr. Mushlin would explain in detail his recommendations and breathing treatments that made me healthy again and if at any time I had any concerns he was always there. I am truly thankful that Dr. Mushlin saved my life. 

 

Dr. Mushlin, is a dedicated, devoted, compassionate and caring Physician that I would highly recommend to any patient or family member."

- Patti G.


"It is with great pleasure that I am able to say that I am a patient of Dr. Mushlin and have been for many years. He is a very attentive physician who gives excellent medical care. Because Dr. Mushlin has an exceptional sense of responsibility I totally entrust him with my health and wellness. Not only does he make me feel like a priority, his staff does as well. Dr. Mushlin returns my phone calls by the end of his work day and has, on more than one occasion, made time for me as an add-on patient. I have highly recommended him to my family and friends simply because he is invaluable."   

-Tracey M.


"Dr. Neil Mushlin has been my pulmonary doctor for several years. I have a compromised immune system and I have been diagnosed with beginning stage of COPD. That diagnosis is enough to scare you and make you frightened. From the very beginning Dr. Mushlin displayed a very caring attitude and his sincere interest to help me get better was amazing. I felt he was concerned about my wellness, he never rushed through our appointment and he spent quality time discussing my issues. Dr. Mushlin eased my worries with his style of talking to me in terms I could understand......wow that was awesome to have a doctor actually talk to me.


As Dr. Mushlin was administering care to me there were significant challenges with the insurance company. He took charge and challenged the insurance company personally, he opted for peer to peer conferences to get the issues resolved and HE NEVER GAVE UP! Eventually the insurance company came around because Dr. Mushlin fought for me.


I am feeling much better, appear healthier all because of the confidence I have for Dr. Mushlin’s medical skill. I am so thankful Dr. Mushlin is my Doctor.....and so will you be thankful!"

-Pamela H. 


"Dr. Mushlin is hands-down one of the best medical doctors I have ever seen. His demeanor and bed-side manner is calm, positive, thorough, attentive, and personal. He was able to, in one visit, get my asthma under control. He listened to my asthma history and came up with a combination of maintenance medications and got my asthma under control. In One Visit! Several other pulmonologist couldn’t get my asthma under control and they had many years to do so! Why did Dr. Mushlin accomplish this and others couldn’t? He listens, he cares, and he believes in you! He REALLY cares about your whole being (mind, body, and soul) and wants to know your entire medical history so his medical assessment will be on-point when it comes to your care. He has a well-rounded medical background and will confidently take on challenging cases. I would definitely recommend Dr. Mushlin to anyone that values their health and wants a doctor that’s empowering and a team player!"

-Wanda T.


"After seeing several doctors about my symptoms, I came to Dr. Mushlin, who listened to my story, and then thoroughly researched, tested, and identified the underlying problem. With excellent "bedside manner," he treated me as a whole person, with the same level of care as a member of his own family. Dr. Mushlin suggested innovative therapies that have given me excellent quality of life while addressing my ongoing health needs. I look forward to my appointments with Dr. Mushlin, knowing that he has my best interests as his top priority. He has repeatedly gone above and beyond to ensure that my medical care is top quality. I highly recommend Dr. Mushlin for your pulmonary care needs."

-Barbara Q.


"I have been a patient of Dr. Mushlin’s for several years and highly recommend his services. In my opinion, he’s very knowledgeable in his field and I hold the utmost respect for him. He diagnosed me with a rare condition (Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency) which most likely saved my life. His diagnosis and treatment recommendations have given me back my quality of life. His bedside manners are outstanding. He truly takes the time to listen to the patient which in itself is rare these days. I have never felt more comfortable in the care of a physician and feel extremely fortunate that I’m under his care." 

-Irene S.


"I have been seeing Dr. Mushlin kind of on and off for a couple years since he was at the phoenixville hospital. So, I just had to follow him to his new practice. He's respectful and just does what's necessary! No less."

-Joel Y.


"Dr. Mushlin helped my entire family. First my son was diagnosed with narcolepsy, then I was diagnosed, and my husband with severe apnea. He always calls personally anytime time we left messages with questions or concerns. Sometimes the call was just to calm an over concerned mother. He is very easy to talk to about anything, even topics that aren't related to health issues. We were lucky to find such a great doctor that could help my entire family improve in so many ways with treatment."

- Wendy K.

He’s a wonderful blend of professionalism and humanism that is sometime difficult to find in the medical community. He takes time to listen and acknowledges my concerns. In the many years of treatment of my issues he has changed my “Quality of Life” for the better."
