UPMC Hamot Sleep Disorders Center

This was my third sleep apnea test. It was very thorough, the therapist was quite knowledgeable. Everything went well. I have a new Darth Vader mask, that should resolve my ongoing issues. They do have a shower you can use in the private bathroom in the testing room. I would recommend bringing a couple of large towels if you plan to shower and shampoo and bath soap. I am rather klutzy, and didn't plan ahead so l just used what they supplied and got water all over the floor.

Took weeks to get a call to get scheduled. I get that. Got the study, returned it the next day. They said I'd get results in 2 weeks. It's been 12 weeks and nothing. That, I don't get.

In my opinion this is the worse thing that I experienced trying to make an appointment. They contacted me on a Monday and said that I have severe sleep apnea and I needed a second test. I’ve been trying to make the second appointment since Tuesday and it’s Friday and no appointment and no returned my calls or returned my voice messages.

Stanley, my Fiancees technician is very kind. He went above and beyond his duties. He answered any questions we had & put us at ease of the night ahead. The weather outside was horrendous. He offered me to stay in another room because we live in Warren. It was refreshing to have such a kind soul look out for everyone involved in the sleep test process. He spoke with us like we all had been friends for years. I know that God had picked Stanley as our Angel of Grace. He Is A True Blessing. It's so nice to know that there are still people in this world who show kindness toward strangers.

I am having some problems with CPAP equipment availability. This facility does not supply equipment but I thought they might have advice for me. They took time and offered what I considered good advice. Thanks for spending a few minutes with me.
