Client Reviews
Thank you so much for providing such wonderful service! Dr. Samreena and her staff were very friendly and provided me with an exceptional experience.
Knowledgeable and completely down to earth, takes time to understand your sleep issues and treat as needed.
Dr Sara is very kind and understanding . Gives time and doesnt rush .
I love Dr. Sara. She made me feel so comfy and welcomed. I will never go to another sleep doctor for my sleep apnea. I have horrible claustrophobia and she helped me get passed it to wear my mask so I can finally get a full 7 to 8 hours of sleep. She even got me to quit smoking after 16 years. Dr. Sara is the best.
I was referred to Dr. Sara for a sleep study. Upon results of my study, not only did I have sleep apnea. My case was very severe and with her guidance and support. I have not only become a very satisfied user of my cpap. I have taken her advise and followed up with lifestyle choices that have made a tremendous difference in my overall health. I wish nothing but greatness with her and her staff. Because of that referral I was able too meet a Dr. that was interested in more then an appointment on her schedule. She took the time too discuss the health risk of my apnea. And the options for a healthy future. My experience has changed my life... Thank You.
