Short version: Skip it…read more Long version: I got a referral from my ENT to this location for a sleep study. I drove some distance to pick up the insurance-approved device to evaluate my sleep patterns. When I arrived, they handed me a box and told me to read the included instructions. I asked them if I could wear an existing sleep assistance device and they said they'd ask the doctor and text me with instructions. The message didn't come in time and I slept the night without the device. I called the next day and explained the situation and asked if I could hold onto the box for another night. The woman I spoke to on the phone essentially panicked and repeated at least 5x that they *desperately* needed the device back *today*. It was super weird. I again drove the very long distance to dropped off the device not having used it and still billing me and my insurance. There was no follow-up, apology, explanation, nothing.

I found Sleep Better Maryland back in May 2020. My cardiologist had ordered a home sleep test and…read morewas very dismissive when I asked why, I then found out that the results were in when I received a call to be fit for a CPAP mask. I was furious. Knowing how I sleep, think alligator in a death roll, I knew I was not a candidate for a CPAP, and I also didn't want to be burdened by the costs and maintenance that the machine demands. So, I started looking for a better option and managed to learn about oral appliances for sleep apnea. On my first visit, Dr. Parmar spent the time necessary to explain apnea and more importantly what my results were and what they meant. I was finally being treated like someone with a brain who deserved answers and explanations. An exam, photos and scan (so cool) followed as the first steps toward treating my apnea and freedom. Dr. Parmar was patient even though I wasn't the best patient at first. The adjustment and pulse-ox tests were annoying the first time around. I went back after I broke my device (it did a triple lindy in off the sink) had it sent off for a repair and as it had been 3 years repeated the sleep study and ordered a new device. I now have a backup should something happen, which was nice as the new device broke in short order due to a design issue. My 2nd sleep study, adjustments, and pulse-ox tests all went much better than the first time, the devices were smaller, had fewer wires and were much easier to use. My oral appliance is easy to care for, just brush it and soak once a week, it's easy and comfortable to use, and most importantly it works based on both the pulse-ox study and my wife's lack of complaints about snoring when I use it. Easy to pack and travel with, no issues with TSA unlike a friend who has his CPAP disassembled each flight.

I knew him in the mid point of his career when he saw my wife for a seizure disorder. He outright cured her through dogged determination. She was referred to him when he was at Georgetown University Hospital after many other failed attempts at diagnosis. The difference was the collaborative approach between he and the hospital where he served both as a teaching professor and neurological specialist. He was a top doctor then at the top of his form. The hospital did not rush him and he took advantage to serve his patients based on need. He went on to transfer to George Washington Hospital. Though his tenure was exemplary there he suffered from the rigours of the timeclock manner of appointments. After he left GW I understand he has set up his own practice.

Not recommended! I…read morehad an initial consultation with a physician, who ordered a home sleep study. After that appointment, I never heard from the doctor again. When my sleep study was complete, my follow-up appointment was with a nurse, but the discussion felt more like a sales presentation than a medical consultation. The focus was almost entirely on selling me a CPAP machine, even after I explained that I wasn't interested in CPAP therapy. When I asked about alternative treatments, the conversation ended. I was told that someone would contact me to discuss other therapy options, but they ghosted me.

During my sleep study, I found the staff was indifferent, the facility seemed poorly maintained and…read morenot conducive to the purpose of sleep. The sleeping room was shabby with scuffed walls, a damaged headboard, and a broken bedside lamp. Most unsettling was the pillow I received, which was badly stained a deep, sickly yellow, leaving me with the impression that the place was unhygienic. In addition, no air conditioning came into the room when the door was closed, making the room warm and stuffy. Needless to say, I didn't sleep at all, making the "study" a waste of time. Further, there were billing issues after the fact. My payment wasn't credited to my account for several weeks so I received late payment notices! I don't plan to go there or use their services ever again.

With Kendra's help, our 8 month old baby started sleeping 10-12 hours through the night, falling…read moreasleep independently, and finally connecting his sleep cycles during nap time. For a while, we considered doing it on our own but were overwhelmed by all the information out there. We wanted a customized plan for our son and our unique circumstances, and we wanted to do it right from the beginning to make the process as quick and painless as possible. And that it was! He started sleeping through the night on night 1. I don't think that would have happened if we relied on our own Internet research, and we would have been questioning ourselves every step of the way. We also appreciated Kendra's gentle approach. We didn't want our son to have to "cry it out". She was realistic in telling us that there would be SOME tears, but she gave us a plan that allowed us to be in the room with him, supporting and comforting him periodically. Here's what you can expect: - 15 min free discovery call - Parents complete a questionnaire about the baby's current schedule, sleep, eating, etc - 90 min call where she goes over a customized plan based on the questionnaire (extremely detailed) - Decide when you want your 2 week period to begin - 4 follow up calls, one the day after sleep training starts - During the 2 week period, you can reach out to her anytime on Voxer (a messaging app) and email We had a great experience! She made a potentially very scary and stressful process relatively easy. Our lives have totally changed. Sleep is a game changer. No more middle of the night wake ups, and no more holding baby to sleep (and risky crib transfers). Thank you Kendra!

Just do it, it's life changing. This is one of the best decisions I made as a parent, for our whole…read morehousehold. Our baby is sleeping 11 hours at night with no wake-ups, with 3 hours of naps with clockwork consistent timing. I truly believed our son was just on the very low end of the sleep needs range. At 10 months old, he was still going to bed late, waking 2-4 times a night, and waking up early in the morning. We read a lot online about sleep routines and optimization of the sleep environment. We tried non-stimulating activities before bedtime. We tried "drowsy but awake". Nothing made an appreciable difference. It felt like we'd tried everything and exhausted online resources. We were in desperate need of consistent and continuous sleep. Admittedly, I previously felt pressured by a lot of the recent social media posts saying sleep training is harmful and unnatural. These claims are NOT backed by science by the way. I was wary that sleep training would be synonymous with "cry it out" and did not want my baby to feel abandoned. Thankfully, Kendra provided precise and gentle sleep training instruction. There were some tears, but we were in the room with him to provide comfort as we both learned a new skill together. The differentiators were (i) having a very detailed plan that I could follow, not just general concepts, (ii) receiving benchmarks of how long he would take to go down and how long certain phases would last, and (iii) having a resource to ask questions to as bespoke situations arose. Kendra's plan and support has given me the confidence to handle nighttime sleep and naps like a pro. She has given me back crucial nighttime sleep, so I can continue to work to my fullest potential and give tons of energy to my son during playtime. She's taken away the fear of "solo parenting" while my husband is away on travel for work.

But that's unfortunately where the positives end. I've had to call multiple times about getting a sleep med only to find out the doctor is no longer there.

I ended up completely cutting off my account with them. I would suggest finding another place that takes your insurance. I wrote this review after trying to get them to send me single invoice with all the required info for my FSA to process.
