Surprise, AZ
My son was diagnosed with extreme sleep apnea and would awaken several times per minute. He was so exhausted from lack of sleep that he was unable to function daily. He would actually fall asleep in the middle of a conversation! He has been a patient of American Sleep Medicine for close to a year and his life has changed dramatically. His sleep is uninterrupted, he wakes up energized, and feels good about himself. The staff has been considerate and flexible with scheduling appointments, as I live in Arizona and drive to San Diego to assist and support my son. American Sleep Medicine is an integral part of my son’s journey to good health and I am so grateful.

I had reservations about this place, but after 9 months after first appt. for my daughter, very happy I took her here.
Advice: have some patience, they seem to be a bit short staffed, and the medical insurance paperwork requirements are tough for Dr. Boa’s staff to handle.
Scam? — People claiming this is place is scam need to educate themselves on narcolepsy and understand how it is a tricky, yet serious neurological disorder, that can be corrected with some simple sleep medication — but — you need a sleep study. Otherwise you cannot prove it exists, and medical insurance won’t cover it.

I recently had to have a sleep study done and my doctor referred me to American Sleep Medicine. The place is very clean, the staff is very friendly and the rooms were very spacious. My only complaint was the actual test itself. The wires that you are connected to you were bothersome. I’m normally a person who likes to sleep on there side but it was hard to fall asleep when the wires kept coming off and a nurse having to come in and replace them. I know it’s not their fault for this, but I just wish there was better technology to fix this issue. Overall I had a great time and I would recommend this place to others.

A wonderful place. The staff is amazing and the rooms are better than I’ve had in most hotels.
Dr. Bao is sort of quietly hilarious and if you look for it you’ll find a wonderfully dry sense of humor behind his very professional demeanor. I’ve had no problems with billing or being pushed to do anything that I didn’t want to.
The sleep study itself was about as good as it could be. You’re sleeping with stuff stuck on your face, head, and body so don’t expect to walk out of here refreshed but since all of us who walk through the doors are used to getting poor sleep it’s not that big a deal.
The only reason for no 5 star is that this is the only sleep center I’ve been to and I have no other point of reference. I know I liked my experience here as much as someone could possibly like sleeping with a thing up their nose (all part of the procedure). Whether or not it’s actually the «best» is something I’m not qualified to say.

I had my first ever sleep study done here. I was amazed of how inviting the staff was, quick and painless hookup and how cozy the rooms and the bed were. I’ve heard of other sleep clinics not even having they’re own personal bathroom, but this sleep center hands down made me feel at home! Cookie was my technician and she was very professional and made me feel at home. She made that I was comfy and even gave me an extra pillow for my back. She also noted that I could have a guest over in the same room if That would make me feel more comfortable for if I were to come back for my second visit. All of the staff were very professional and welcoming! In the morning there was coffee and pastries served. I highly commend this place for their professionalism, cleanliness and overall great patient interaction!

I was sent here by my pulmonary doc ! The rooms are fantastic better than a 5star hotel I had a huge king sized bed, my own bathroom shower and tv w/​tons of channels ! My test was in 2parts both on a Monday, my first test I had a young Filipino guy as my resp therapist, he was very friendly, explained everything and showed the utmost professional attitude! They provided earplugs and extra pillows ! Also snacks !!
My second appt, I had another filipina young lady (joy was her name I think) again very friendly and extremely professional!!!
She explained everything and was nice enough to give me a new mask for my cpap!
I did not See any scams at all my insurance was billed and I paid nothing !! I was extremely impressed with room, staff and professional attitude of everyone! I’d recommend this place to anyone !!

I went in for a study since I was waking up tired all of the time. The staff was professional and friendly and the doctor was personable and knowledgable. The techs for the overnight study were great. They ended up figuring out why I was not sleeping well, which was a great relief. I highly recommend this sleep study center!

My sleep study at American Sleep Medicine was great! I expected to be in a lab type of setting, but I was pleasantly surprised with how accommodating the room was. Each room has a flat screen tv with plenty of channels, a comfortable memory foam bed (mine was adjustable), and your own personal bathroom with a shower. As for the staff, they were all so friendly and informative. My rather small technician, Cookie (that’s her real name) thoroughly explained the hookup process where she placed several electrodes on me to test for sleep apnea. She was funny and friendly during the 30 minute hookup. I had a good night of sleep and was out of there in no time. They even had some pastries and coffee for all the patients in the morning. A week later, I was given the results. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to schedule a sleep study.

Life changing! My job requires me to keep strange sleep hours, so I’ve always had odd sleep habits. My doctor referred me because I felt fatigued regularly & slept poorly. American Sleep Medicine called me to schedule my consultation with Dr. Bao. Unlike most doctors and hospitals visits, I knew what I had to pay before I came in for my sleep study. Clarence took excellent care of me & got me squared away in my room. I expected a hospital type room but instead the room felt like a hotel. It was a little strange to have wires on me while I slept but they explained how they monitor everything while you sleep (Even your eyes!). My doctor had my report just a few days later and we discussed the results. I was a little skeptical at first about having a sleep study, but I have never slept better.

BEWARE — POTENTIAL SCAM ALERT.
My primary care physician referred me to a Board Certified Sleep Doctor for a CONSULTATION. For some strange reason, all such referrals are directed to American Sleep Medicine — who performs SLEEP STUDIES.
When I called American Sleep, provided my personal and insurance information, referral number, the agent insisted on scheduling a sleep study, there would be no consultation with the doctor. As this did not sound correct, I attempted to concat the sleep specialist’s other offices (found online), who referred me back to American Sleep. I then contacted my primary care physician, who again confirmed that it was only a consult, provided this information to American Sleep, yet they still kept my appointment for a sleep study. Had I simply gone ahead with the sleep study, I would have been financially responsible, like several of the other posters here, not receive the service prescribed by my primary care physician.
Check out the American Sleep website: «…the nation’s largest sleep disorder treatment organizations, with over 200 bedrooms nationwide and 30,000 sleep studies a year…». My medical situation is not like many others — I am in good physical condition, do not have sleep apnea, looking for help from a sleep expert. This obviously is NOT the place.

SLEEP STUDY? people are going to watch me sleep? i don’t think so-but…the fatigue i was suffering became too much-​I felt at ease from the minute I got there-​the Sleep Study tech was very nice, polite and gently put on what seems like a lot of wires and contraption like «stuff», the room was nicer then a hotel, I read and watched tv fully aware of being on camera, eventually, apparently I went to sleep-​I remember occasionally hearing a faint voice telling me to roll back over and when all was said and done, I DO have sleep apnea, sleep w/​a cpap machine which I don’t care for but I have SO much more energy that it is so worth it-​I continue on a weight loss journey and hope that will eliavate my symptoms and possibly not need the machine-​That being said, FYI-​even slender people get sleep apnea-​I originally thought it was due to my weight –the study showed I woke up 25x in an hour-​NO WONDER I WAS FATIGUED– if you are tired throughout the day-​get checked!

A hoax. They are the for-​profit university of medicine, constantly calling you for an appointment and then trying to bill you for most expensive procedure. For the first time in my life I felt like my insurance company was trying to protect me!
When Doctor Cologne read my sleep study results his recommendations were unclear and abstract. I told him I wanted to fix my snoring and he couldn’t even tell me how much it would cost for a procedure. My favorite quote was «I have no idea how the cost range for an ENT doctor to get surgery or a procedure out of pocket.» You went through medical school, you specialize in sleep apnea, you deal with this every day and you have no idea? Have you even ever been curious?
What a joke!!!

My husband went into for sleep apnea diagnosis. He had 2 overnight evaluations and two doctor appointments. We were ASSURED and told by their staff that they had gotten pre-​approval from our insurance. They LIED and had not. Our insurance denied the claim and we were stuck with the whole bill of over $ 1,200. Their billing department then double billed us and is a nightmare to work with. Now we have been sent to collections by them. Find another place to get your medical work done – unless you want the stress of billing nightmares.

The service provided was fine. The reason for one star is their billing! I used their services 10⁄2012 and am still dealing (8⁄2014) with billing problems. The billing dept is in Georgia and it has been a series of problems including receiving a statement after one year of no notice that an amount was due. The current issue involved paying amount due but continually getting collection notices. This is the worst management of medical billing I have ever experienced.

This place is a sleep mill. They heard you in and out and only care about the dollar. I was guaranteed that there would be no charge over and above my insurance coverage. Wrong. They billed me for thousands. I was lucky enough to have them put it into writing before I went in. Whew! They are a nationwide firm that bills and operates out of Georgia, I think. Then I purchased a Resmed cpap machine from them. Once again they billed me over and above my insurance coverage. But once again, I had them sign that there would be no charge. Dodged another bullet. You have to be on your toes with these guys. They don’t want to «cure» you apnea. They want to treat it and keep you coming back for more studies. They are not healers, they are looking for ways to keep you hooked on their services. I don’t know of any better companies, but if you want to be treated like cattle, these guys do it.

I was so incredibly impressed with American Sleep Medicine. I have suffered from sleep apnea for a few years, and it has gotten so bad that I seriously thought I was going to die any night. I finally got up the nerve to call them, and go in for my sleep studies. They made it so comfortable and easy. The facility is beautiful, clean, and private. Each room has its own bathroom so that you can get up in the morning and shower privately. I had my machine within a few days, and I honestly feel like they saved my life. My sleep is 110% better, and I feel like a new man. I have even lost 25 pounds because of my improved sleep habits. Many people have sleep apnea and are not aware of the dangers… I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to get help. Of course it is a little expensive, but they work with you to make payments on any balances that are not covered by insurance. Its worth it to spend the money to increase years on your life.
