What Our Patients Say

I have used CPAP every night for more than 15 years. Dr. Sangal has worked with me over time and I believe CPAP treatment has made my life, in general, easier; reducing fatigue which had built up over the years in my profession. I am today more relaxed and better able to handle the problems and anxieties of life, and am better able to enjoy my family and relate better to friends and associates. I am 77 years old.

I had the sleep study on Wed nite, 11-27. The 2 girls who helped were so kind & cheerful & good natured. Couldn’t have been nicer.

What an amazing sleep facility. I was very impressed with the hotel-type accomodations in my room. Because I also deal with asthma, my breathing was difficulty for a while before sleeping. Both the Sleep Techs were very attentive and made certain I was comfortable. Outstanding experience!

I think Dr. Sangal and his staff are wonderful. Everyone is polite and caring. Dr. Sangal has extended my life by diagnosing my sleep apnea and putting me on a treatment plan. I was headed for a stroke and didn’t know it. Thank you Dr. Sangal for all your good care!

It is great to be able to rest, and to be able to think again. My sleep is clear and restful and I have more energy and I am loving it! Thank you Dr. Sangal.

Nathan Johnson

I can’t rave enough about Dr. Sangal and his staff. The way this doctor thoroughly assesses and treats, and monitors patients with sleep disorders and ADHD is unbelievable. I’ve learned so much in being his patient and have watched both my daughter’s and my own sleep/ADHD conditions improve immensely. I would highly recommend this doctor and his wonderful staff.
