What Our Patients Say:

David J. -
Since my treatment for Sleep Apnea with the CPAP machine, I am off my blood pressure medication, I do not have mood swings like I use to and I have lost weight. I sleep two hours less each night and am awake and alert all day. Snoring has stopped and my Restless Leg Syndrome has stopped with out medication. I feel great.

My experience with the Cascade Valley Hospital Sleep Disorders Center was life changing. Before the sleep study I couldn't get through a few paragraphs of reading without falling asleep. I didn't have enough energy to get through the day. I even found myself dangerously falling asleep in my car while waiting for the light to change. My initial appointment with Dr Sayed was very informative. I learned a great deal about why I was feeling so tired during the day and why even after 6-8 hours of sleep I felt as if I hadn't slept at all. He suggested I do an overnight sleep study where they monitor my sleep patterns and my breathing. During the overnight sleep study the setting of the room made me very comfortable and relaxed. The technician made sure I knew exactly what was going to happen and answered any questions I might have had. From the results of the overnight study, I found out I had sleep apnea. Once I received my CPAP machine and began using it regularly I began waking up more rested. Soon after I even had more energy to exercise again, which I am happy to say led to some weight loss. I'm so glad I didn't wait another day before seeking the help of Dr. Sayed and the Cascade Valley Hospital Sleep Disorders Center.

The Cascade Valley Hospital Sleep Disorder Center is one of the nicest, most caring and most professional run offices I have ever visited. It is one of the reasons I moved back to Washington from Chicago where I could not find such good care. I really like that the office staff always greets me warmly and with a smile. Their follow up care is wonderful and prompt. A+

I never knew a person could sleep so soundly! After years of not sleeping well and not feeling rested, I found out about my need for a sleep machine. I got the machine and I am amazed at the energy I have and how soundly I sleep. If you think you might have a sleeping problem you owe it to yourself to find out. You will benefit from finding out how well things are working when you are asleep. If they find you need a sleep machine, do everything you can to adjust to it and start sleeping the way you should.

My family had complained about my horrible snoring for several years, but of course I did not believe them. I did some research and realized that the "sleeper" usually does not know they are snoring. My doctor recommended a sleep study. The Cascade Valley Hospital Sleep Disorders Center scheduled me. Dr Sayed and the staff were extremely helpful and the experience was very pleasant. I was given a CPAP for sleep apnea. The quality of sleep has greatly improved since wearing the CPAP. I feel more rested each morning and NO ONE complains about snoring! I am a very satisfied patient!

Dr Sayed and his staff were wonderful during all my care and still are. It was quite a process to go through for the testing. Staying over night and trying to sleep with all the cords hooked up to you. I have done it a number of times and I am now a pro at it. I am not a person to give up and since I have gone to the nasal pillows, it is much easier and more comfortable. I have crocheted a tube to go over my hose to keep it warm and with the water warm it is better in the winter. I have told a number of people, friends and family who are fighting CPAP to try the nasal pillows and the warm water. With a lot of patience it will work for them too!!! I have C.O.P.D. and the CPAP helps me breathe and sleep better at night. I am also on oxygen. It is part of my life now.

Since completing my sleep study and getting my CPAP machine, the quality and quantity of sleep I get has improved tremendously. I would recommend anyone who has trouble sleeping or staying asleep to take part in a sleep study.

John C. L. - Granite Falls, WA.
I feel so much improvement with my energy level. My improved rest has helped me to reduce my stress level and hypertension. I did not know I had a problem until my ENT doctor investigated it. The sleep study revealed my breathing stopped over 200 times in 3 (three) hours and my oxygen level severely crashed. I thought my dog had problems by waking me at night but he was keeping me alive! With my CPAP machine I sleep through the night and so does my dog. After being on CPAP for 1 ½ years I took my CPAP machine with me when I was hospitalized for over 2 weeks and it assisted in my recovery.

Donald G. - Mount Lake Terrace, WA.
Before I used CPAP I was tired all of the time. The Cascade Valley Hospital Sleep Disorders Center was able to find out that I had sleep apnea and I was not sleeping like I should. The service here is the best and it is the best place to go. You have my vote. Thank you for making me feel better every coming day.
