Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible service
Horrible service - they never return a phone call and it's almost impossible to get in touch with someone to schedule an appointment. I have to call 3-5 time and leave messages before anyone calls back. It is as though they could care less about the patient.

Doesn't keep appointments in timely fashion. I canceled after thirty minutes struggling to stay awake in a very sleepy (dull and boring) exam room. Will try another clinic. Wouldn't you?

Dr Schwab is an excellent doctor. PS: Dr Schwab: The other day, 12/7/20, I received an ominous call from Solutions 2 : No supplies since I used the Cap machine only 12 times. Also, I must use it 4 hrs at least. I told her I had surgery on Oct. 13, 2020 and I am recovering very slowly. Obviously my medical condition was not her concern. SIR, I AM CONCEREND. WHEN WE MEET IN JANUARY, 2021, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TERMINATE THE USE OF THIS MACHINE. I will however, continue seeing you every 6 months or annually as you decide. Thank you.

Is office is a disaster when it comes to patient care. I now know why my father didn’t want to get caught up in our horrible healthcare system When he was diagnosed with cancer I see clearly now This office is a joke an it’s not a funny one. Best advice I can tell someone is to go to a different clinic. I’m 12 days in an no answers an all u get from his office is the excuse of covid 19 what a joke just like this office services there patients I have received more information from my Apple Watch than this special sleep doctor???????????????????? please find another line of work cause your office is below sub par

I went to visit this clinic for the first time a year ago. The clinic was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. All was great. I love my CPAP and sleep better than ever. Fast forward to this week. I’m due for my yearly follow up. The clerk says I must PAY to see the Dr via teleconference then PAY to see the doctor in person after the Covid Pandemic. I thought that was wrong to charge twice for one yearly evaluation. I asked to speak to Dr Schwab who owns the clinic. They refused to let me speak and voice my concern. His nurse told me I could talk to him in the teleconference. I told her I wasn’t paying $75 to voice my complaint. She told me to have a nice day and come back after they reopen which would be fine except they won’t send me my supplies until I pay for the teleconference visit! I think it’s just downright wrong to do this at this time. I can afford the two visits but what about those that can’t afford it?!?! I used to recommend this clinic.

Easy evaluation (take home sleep study equipment), thorough interview, and followup. I got a Philips Respironics DreamWear nose cushion CPAP and I can sleep now. Nice to get solid rest because I can breathe now and Dreamwear (Mask and Cushion) is completely comfortable for side or back sleeping.

Saw Dr Schwab exactly ONCE, during initial consult. Explanation of study results VERY brief and provided by NP in a rush to leave the office. Despite repeated requests on subsequent visits, office staff could not schedule an appt with MD without a wait of 6 MONTHS. At the end of 3 separate appts, staff rec return visit in 6 wks. Every time I tried to schedule follow-up appt, soonest avail opening was 16 WEEKS. Gave up. Returned machine. Will not tolerate such disregard/contempt for patient
