California Center For Sleep Disorders

I really wish I could put zero stars. I also wish I had checked Unilocal before I went, but my dr referred me here and it never occurred to me how awful this place could be. I was mortified! Like the other posters, as a woman, I was very uncomfortable with only male technicians there. I was told to change clothes (with a video camera right on me!). The whole office was FILTHY!!! There were huge smashed bugs (that looked like roaches) on the walls in the entry and my room. The layer of dust was so thick (on the breathing machine!) that it looked like snow. The masks were not sanitized and he stuck them on my face! Then he set the mask on that pile of dust! There were HAIRS in the sheets when I pulled the blankets back. THIS PLACE IS A HEALTH HAZARD! DO NOT GO THERE!!! I wanted to walk out, but I know it would have cost a fortune. I laid in bed the whole time completely grossed out thinking about getting out of there and into a shower. I threw my clothes away because I’m worried there could have been bed bugs. Who knows. The place is disgusting. I have already reported them to their accreditation board, my insurance company and my doctor.

I called this company last week and left a message. Not one return call from them. I presume they exists, but if I really was in need of a study, I’d probably be dead before they got back to me.

I had a similar experience to the above poster. I have been to other sleep doctors and clinics in other parts of the state during the past decade, and this place seems like a big sham. And, I live in Oakland, and the Oakland location seems creepy. The parking is nearly impossible to find and dark. I don’t know what medical institution would expect a woman, like myself and the above poster, to feel comfortable ALONE all night hooked up to machines with a male technician. I have never been to a sleep clinic like that before.
They seemed to have very little understanding of sleep issues, and bugged me for MONTHS, called me all the time to schedule an appointment. They had a sign in the room that was very infomercial-​like, something to the effect of ‘receive $ 100 when you refer a friend to our clinic’. Perhaps they will take that sign down after reading my post.
Unfortunately, sleep disorders are the fad right now, and a lot of places are just trying to make money, while patients with actual sleep disorders suffer and waste money and time being fooled by companies like this. I do not recommend that you seek medical services from this place. Unfortunately, I do not know of any good places in the East Bay to seek treatment for sleep apnea, but I will continue to look for a good place.
