Sleep Specialists of Tidewater

Met with a doctor here who told me I would need to be referred to psych when psych is who told me I’d need to ask my PCP to get me a referral here so I did just that. Tired of the run around in the healthcare industry and constantly being invalidated. I was especially invalidated here, cut off, and left feeling so gaslit after my consultation. Once I went to check out I was told I would hear from someone in a week in regards to getting a sleep study scheduled… it’s been months since I came here and just heard from scheduling today….

DO NOT GO TO THIS FACILITY! The drs are garbage! My husband had triple bypass surgery he has severe sleep apnea he just came home from the hospital and his machine is ramped to high now that his heart has been fixed it’s causing to much air and is putting him in extreme pain after this surgery he has called the one call Dr over 6 times and they will not respond! They make it so the ramp can’t be adjusted manually it can only be done remote from this facility! This is an emergency situation and they will not respond. Def finding my husband a new place to go where the doctors care enough about the patients to return a call! Triple bypass is a serious surgery that impacts the lungs so he can not go to sleep because he keeps stopping breathing because he can’t use his machine. I’m def reporti

NP Johnson was wonderful at my initial appointment discussing my condition and explaining why it was affecting my sleep. at the sleep study, Mike was my sleep technician, and he did an outstanding job explaining the process to me as I was going through the study. Facility seemed a little dated but was very clean and organized, beds were adjustable yet noisy when changing pressure (pump noise) but overall comfortable. When i went in for the follow-up Dr. Dhawan did a great job explaining to me the results and answering my questions. Overall experience was positive at both the Chesapeake and Va Beach locations.

The facility is convenient and staff friendly. My complaint is that there is no wheelchair access. I arrived with my aunt in order for her to have breathing tests. I pushed her in her wheelchair while rolling her oxygen alongside. We get to the door and there is no button to help with doors. I stood there wondering how I was gonna push her with one hand, roll oxygen with another, and open two doors to get her through. It seems that this type facility sees many elderly patients that require oxygen and would be in similar conditions. Was a little confused.

If I could give less than one I would. I got nothing but the runaround from Dr. Dhawan and her nurse. Was told to provide a letter from my primary care physician in order to get a independent medicine opinion from Dr. Dhawan for a VA claim and once I provided the letter, she still wouldn’t write the Independent medical opinion simply because she was too lazy to do proper research. Do not give them your business. Save your money.
