What Our Patients Say

Dr. Sangal and his office staff are so pleasant and made me feel so comfortable. I was always able to schedule an appointment quickly and my treatment showed immediate improvements to my sleep.

Tired mom of three

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.

ADD Mom

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.

Dr. Sangal not only has helped my son’s ADHD, but the staff is helpful & courteous, and Dr. Sangal always runs on time & we never wait very long.

Tara Yagonczak

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.

Cookie

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.

This has been one of the most beneficial medical treatments I have evern received. Good treatments might deliver most of what is expected. But Dr. Sangal & his team delivered 100% of what I needed. I feel great!
