Dr. Conaway from the sleep center is nice, friendly, helpful, etc. But he is not honest. He tells EVERYONE who comes in for a sleep study that they have sleep apnea and quickly issues a c-pap machine. He shows you a 10 minute session where you stopped breathing and says "you have moderate sleep apnea" and before you can protest, you're on your way home with a machine! Everyone--yes, EVERYONE, stops breathing normally a few times while they sleep. I went in because my husband told me he heard me stop breathing while I sleep. I have no other symptoms of sleep apnea (tired, falling asleep when not in bed, sleepiness, etc.) But they won't show you any more than that little time. I believe he gets kick backs from the medical supply company and feels that, since insurance is paying for it, and it doesn't do any harm for anyone to use a cpap even if they don't need it, he will issue one to everyone. The people who do the testing don't care. I had a particularly nasty person. Then once they issue you your machine, they can't really help (or don't want to) if you have difficulties. They try to farm you off to someone else. If you want to have a REAL sleep study done, don't go here. You are just lining Conaway's pockets! Also, get a second opinion.
