?????Looking for SF Area Sleep MD Referral?????
Question:
I had the UPPP surgery done in 2001. The doctor/surgeon that I used barely spent 15 minutes rushing me in and out of his office for the pre-surgery consultation. Earlier this year, I needed to go back for another sleep study. My PCP referred me to : California Institute of Sleep Medicine 500 E Remington Dr Suite 18, Sunnyvale, CA 94087 (408) 730-1268 The doctor that I dealt with there, spent more than an hour during the initial consultation and diagnosis. She was very knowledgeable, helpful, thorough. I would heartily recommend the clinic. Tim – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Rich wrote: > Does anyone have an awesome Sleep MD in the SF Bay Area.

Dr. Theresa Buckly at the Stanford Sleep Clinic. I *love* her! and, everyone at the lab has been great—really nice & knowledgeable. I’ve done sleep study there twice this year. She’s really *worked* to find a dx that works for me. As for DME, I’m so happy that I chose to work with SleepQuest—They’ve been great with changing out machines & masks to find what works for me.
Response:
Yes, Henry did my sleep study in Nov. I agree with your assessment!

ENT who ordered my sleep study was an *#% hole. I was much more impressed with the lab that did my sleep study. Did not meet with her, but you might try Vivien C. Abad, MD, Medical Director of the Clinical Monitoring Sleep Disorders Center, Inc. She is Diplomate, American Board of Sleep Medicine. Works with Laughton E. Miles, MD, also Diplomate, American Board of Sleep Medicine. Their lab is accredited by American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

I believe that Laughton Miles retired. I don’t know if he is still there but Henry Lu (?) is a most excellent sleep lab tech. -Quick

The guy who I use at the UCSF sleep lab at Mt. Zion wasn’t impressive either. I can’t eremember his name but he’s the head of the department. I went to him for both apnea as well as other pulmonary problems (he’s also a pulmonmologist) but he wasn’t remotely interested in anything else besides the apnea and ju sort of ignored the rest. The sleep tech for my polysomnography, however, was fine! He was, however, much better than Anstella Robinson who was the head of a sleep lab in San Francisco that was run by Stanford, I think. I think she went to another Stanford sleep lab in the south or east bay. she was just wierd. I hope there are some GOOD people identified!
