I OWE MY LIFE TO 3 PHYSICIANS, 1 OF WHOM IS DR. BANDLA…read more ************* This is not an average review, as I am not an average patient. Perhaps by sharing my story, such as it is, others will see the value in Sleep Care & Medicine so that they might seek help sooner --not later-- and perhaps place that care in the capable hands of Dr. Bandla. ************************* -A BIT OF BACKGROUND- I lost years of my life to "Sleep Apnea": due to the poor health it caused --unnecessarily so-- because I ignored my doctors' suggestions to see a "Sleep Specialist" for a "Sleep Study" (I heard these words within quotations VERY often, and maybe you have as well: from a concerned spouse, friend, or doctor?). When it was suggested to me, I not so much as 'decided' a Sleep Specialist wasn't a priority, but I let time pass without pursuing it: ie, I did not MAKE it a priority. But trust me, IT SHOULD BE. Because of that, let me tell you what my future became: my untreated & disordered sleep would be THE contributing factor to my deteriorating health for those two years. I've only now learned that those symptoms are scientifically documented consequences due to chronically poor sleep or chronic lack of it. BELOW: some of said symptoms: Severe fatigue & sleepiness, lassitude, swings between insomnia to severe over-sleeping; memory loss, thought disorganization, cognitive impairment incl. word-finding, forgetfulness; emotional dysregulation, impatience, depression w/suicidal ideation; heart palpitations, body temperature irregularity, weight gain & muscle loss; severe nerve pain, esp. the extremities; headaches, light sensitivity, hearing changes/loss + sensitivity. & more minor symptoms. Finally I'd had enough and lined up any specialist I could think of: (literally) Endocrinology, Hematology, Neurology, Neurovascular, Audiology + ENT, Pain MGMT, and even Gynocology! All were "fine" and said "see a SLEEP SPECIALIST & do a Sleep Study!!!". I finally got the hint and out of sheer luck, my doc was Dr. Bandla. *************** -THE DOCTOR- At my initial apt, Dr. Bandla asked a few questions to prompt me, then carefully listened to my confused babble about my symptoms, and somehow he understood, never getting frustrated nor short. Once he got the necessary information, he explained everything very carefully until I understood every detail: what my diagnosis likely is, why he believes that is, and then what the next steps will be from there. (And he was right about all his predictions, by the way). A Sleep Study was next, and he made sure every single detail was taken care of: for ex, he made sure a special Mouth-Breathing Sensor would be available for my study after I mentioned having chronic sinus issues. The help & time he spent with me is incredibly rare in today's medical system, and thanks to Swedish for accommodating that kind of care (too often time & money outweigh care. That was n not my experience here). **************************** -ABOVE & BEYOND- Any time I have called or emailed, Dr. Bandla would respond immediately, and he himself would respond personally most often (that is VERY rare these days). The most significant gesture was during my second Sleep Study where I would be "test-driving" a special C-PAP. That Friday night, as my tech helped me get situated, she explained how she'll call the doctor once I'm asleep. I asked what she meant and turns out, he was at home and was staying up late on his Friday night, waiting, just to hear how I was doing. I'm a well spoken person, but I struggle to adequately describe how touched I was from such a gesture. ********************* -CONCLUSION- I was eventually diagnosed and have been using the treatment machine, worn at night, for nearly a month. My body and my life is changing rapidly (It's the best diet & religion rolled into one: HEALED all while you sleep!). I have a rarer type of apnea called Central Sleep Apnea caused by my brain, not the throat like most folks. At night my brain stops telling my lungs to breathe, and my breathing literally stops, as if I've died. With treatment via the machine, my prognosis is very good. So, if you're in the Pacific Northwest, I highly recommend Swedish Sleep Medicine (Redmond or Seattle). There's a reason I drive 4hrs round-trip to be a Swedish patient, time and again. I am and always will be eternally grateful to Preetam Bandla and to his family for allowing us -his patients- to borrow him from you so that we may return to ours. -A.

Dr Yim has been proactive in my care. He listens to my issues and doesn't just tell me what I already know or repeat what I told him but digs deeper and considers what if scenarios to increase my readiness and help my breathing both before problems arise and enables me to be ready when problems arise. other Drs I've had and have want an appointment when the issues arise as they treat the now only, which is impossible and a terrible way to practice medicine. He's given me a course of action and medication for not just standard reactive needs but proactive needs/potential likely scenarios helping me live a better and less stressful life decreasing the emergency scenarios I used to have. He's great. He and his office also respond to App IMs same day or next day with courses of treatment for simple needs Vs requiring me to come in the office when an appointment is finally available like many others.

This is an review update to recognize one of the best employees I've had the pleasure to work with…read morein the FP&SMA. For the second time in about a year I did an overnight sleep study in the Sleep Center in order to be approved for 3rd time of machine to treat my sleep apnea. As with the sleep study last time, Shannon was my assigned sleep tech (aka polysomnographic technologist). She has the innate ability to do her job while engaging in the most awesome conversation of any sleep tech I've worked with, and not counting the last two with Shannon, I've had at least three other sleep studies over the years. Sleep studies are hard for me, especially at this time of year. I had to leave my family on a Sunday night and drive 15 miles to a sleep center. It's cold and, many times, rainy. With St. Michael, the bad thing is that the center is an elevator ride down a level and a VERY long walk across the building to the door. You have to look for wall and sandwich board signs. Once at the door you press a button to have a tech buzz you in. Sitting in the lobby, you know the night will involve a bunch of stuff that you fear will prevent the sleep you're there to have for the study. And you're alone, especially after you have to power off your phone. So, for me, the procedure makes you somewhat anxious. Then Shannon comes in and tells you she'll be conducting your study for the night. Last time, we immediately hit it off because that's who she is. This time, it was a welcome reunion with an old friend. We took up the conversation where we left off. I still dislike these studies but working with Shannon, or just hearing her voice over the room intercom, relaxed me. Yes, I was able to sleep and yes, she had to wake me up a couple of times to make position adjustments to the wiring harness. But I had the best, most refreshing sleep I've had in weeks. Shannon assured me that from the preliminary results of the study my numbers looked good. This meant I responded well to the type of machine and mask used for the study. Now, I hope to never have a another sleep study but if I do, I sure hope Shannon will again be my polysomnographic technologist.

She was really sick and also had Alzheimer's. Most Dr's wouldn't want to take care of my mom or would have given up on my mom because of how sick she was and her Alzheimer's. Dr. StoneStreet stepped in and to this day, has never given up on her. Because of her determination to help my mom,she is still alive today. The Bipap has greatly helped her and gave her the energy she needed to power through the healing process of how sick she was. We finally figured out this year, how to stop the leaking from the mask. Even though the mask leaked for years, it still made a difference. She had stopped using the Bipap for about a month last October. I was not the DPOA for my mom at that time, so all I could do is be there for her. Within that month, she stopped eating again and she was very lethargic. I was scared, I was going to lose my mom. I ran into Dr. StoneStreet and she encouraged me. She still never gave up on my mom. We did everything we could then and succeeded and got my mom back on her Bipap. She saved my mom's life again. As soon as she got back on the Bipap, she started eating again and was wide awake. My mom is not cured from the Alzheimer's at this time. Maybe if we fixed her apnea 10 years ago, she wouldn't be where she is now. Im still not giving up on her! As my mom would always say, " Let Time Be Your Friend." She still however, amazes me. With where she is at, in the Alzheimer's, she has beaten the odds. She still remembers who we are. She still surprises me with what she is capable of, and continues to shows us signs that she is still there and aware of everything. The Bipap helps, but we also do our part to keep her going. We continue to care for her, keeping her active, engaged, and informed, while also being proactive about her health and well-being. I highly recommend Dr. StoneStreet. I have immense gratitude for her unwavering support and dedication. Her excitement and commitment to helping my mom keeps me encouraged and motivated when times are rough. The staff has also been wonderful. They always make us feel welcomed and is always there to help in any way. I also highly recommend the Bipap or Cpap machine, it really did make a difference for my mom.
