Sleep Center for SW Washington

Dr McCabe has taken over for Dr Linton at OMC sleep clinic. He is very pleasant, calm and caring. However, he prescribed a medication that was never sent in and needed pre approval. I talked with 2 Medical Assistants who said that they would take care of it. It has been a week and 1/2 and I haven’t heard anything. I called and was told that they don’t know what happened and they will talk to the doctor. I am sick and tired of aMA’s thinking that they are nurses and do not know what they are doing. This one blamed the dr. (of course). If you go there, stay on top of things. You are easily lost in the system.

I just completed my sleep study. The nurse was kind, friendly, and fun to talk with. I walked into the room and it literally felt like a nice hotel room. The room was very clean and comfortable. Having my own bathroom also a huge bonus. The bed, well it's okay for what it's needed for. I highly recommend going here if you need a sleep study done.

Rude and unprofessional people. They do not care about you at all as a matter of a fact they dont answer phones or return calls. Receptionist rolls her eyes and talks down to her customers.

Nice office. Great staff. She explained and demonstrated the overnight sleep equipment well and scheduled me to bring it back the next morning. It is nice to have my sleep problems finally thoroughly checked out.

I have to say, as an individual with MANY chronic illness/pain diagnoses, and attempting two "at home" sleep studies...I was VERY apprehensive about doing this overnight study out of my comfort zone. I was extremely impressed with the room I was given to stay in for the night (checking in at 8pm), and the tech that greeted me was very casual and laid back, but professional at the same time as he spent over an hour applying the "glue" and electrodes to appropriate areas. He advised me as he continued with the "hookup process" what would happen after he left the room, that the techs generally have only one or two patients to watch over during their shift, and if I had reached a certain extent of breathing episodes...he would administer oxygen with nasal cannula or actual mask if necessary . Then at 5AM...he would wake my butt up and kick me out! Lol! I had my own private bathroom with a large walkin shower, there was a TV with cable and a DVD player (which by the time you get hooked up...who wants to bother?) I had even asked about a fan, and the tech pointed to the one side table next to the bed, and there was one already there that I hadn't noticed! I only brought basic toiletries since NO makeup/skincare/hair products were to be used, and I was leaving so early to head back home anyway. I had brought a throw blanket and my own cooling pillow I use at home. Overall, this was a WAY BETTER experience than I EVER could have anticipated. ***Fun little tip!! I have had EEG's in the past that obviously required (what I foolishly assumed was the same) adhesive to be placed in hair for I believe 10 electrodes. What a mess I had! I could not just shampoo out like I had done in the past. Tried peanut butter (like mom used when we got gum in our hair as kids)...then I had to struggle to wash that out WITH THE GLUE STILL IN!! Now, maybe someone else has another trick, I came to this under part accident, part desperation. I grabbed my bottle of Garnier Micellar Facial Water. I just literally turned bottle upside down and squeezed with one hand while working it through with other hand. IT WAS LIKE THE GLUE SOMEHOW DISSOLVED ON CONTACT! So ladies, if you really want to resolve this issue as soon as you get home, I recommend that you have a bottle of that stuff on hand! Otherwise, good luck and best of health to you!
