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 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

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.

I’m so glad I came to see Dr. Sangal for help with my sleep apnea. With the treatment I am sleeping so much better now and feel great throughtout the day.

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!

June 25, 2018

Are you tired, sleepy, fatigued? You may have Idiopathic Hypersomnia. Sleep medicine doctors often ignore idiopathic hypersomnia. Many sleep medicine doctors focus exclusively on sleep apnea. Others understand and look for narcolepsy with cataplexy (now called narcolepsy type 1). Narcolepsy with cataplexy is a rare disorder. In my experience, narcolepsy without cataplexy (now called narcolepsy…
