Best sleep doc in Colorado! Since childhood i have had regular insomnia and restless legs... It was so frustrating! I would be exhausted in the morning and feel somewhat moody due to my lack of sleep. I tried changing my pre sleep habits and honeopathic methods on my own but never really got relief. I came here without insurance coverage for a sleep study to see Dr. Scrima. Sonia, the office manager gave me a huge discount since my sleep study and visits would be out if pocket... I have never had that offered to me at any other Doctors office! The office is very cosy, so when you are there for your study you feel totally at home ( unlike the very hospital like rooms i have seen before). They have a shower and kitchen area with breakfast and snacks available for you too.
The sleep tech who helped to fit me with all the devises and electrodes was very funny and personable. Everything was fully explained to me and I never felt silly asking questions, Dr. Scrima and his staff really seemed to enjoy their jobs and i genuinely felt they cared for me and my concerns. I fell asleep quicker than i usually do, but i am pretty sure its because the room was nice and dark and the office was very quiet and homey. In the morning I was able to shower and get ready there before heading into work.
Dr. Scrima had the results of my sleep study very quickly and diagnosed me with several sleep disorders including restless legs, insomnia, and apnea. He recommended i be prescribed a sleeping pill which in non habit forming, allows REM sleep, and leaves you feeling rested in the am...i had taken other sleeping aids in the past but always felt groggy in the am. He explained it is due to them not producing REM sleep. He also discussed the other diagnoses and recommendations treat them.
I only take the sleeping pill as needed and in following his other instructions i have found i am getting far longer hours of quality sleep. It has elevated my mood, my memory, and my performance at work and in school. I am very grateful for the knowledgable and caring staff and for Dr . Scrima's expert diagnoses, treatment, and advice. I will be a life long patient! read more
