WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY...

5 out of 5 stars based on 44 reviews.

  • "I have sleep apnea, and I really like my CPAP machine. But it's a pain in the patootie when I travel. It's bulky and at my age dragging it and luggage around is more trouble than I need. So I asked my ENT about an oral appliance and he recommended Dr. Tekle. Getting fitted took a couple three hours over two visits measuring breathing and trying various means of keeping my air way open. Dr. Tekle was very careful to make sure she got it right. Then after another sleep test has come more adjustments. I'll have three more visits to make sure everything is right."

  • "I was referred for an oral appliance for my sleep apnea. I did not know what to expect and Dr. Tekle walked me through the process and tested and re-tested my jaw position to make sure it would work for me - it did. Additionally, the staff worked with my referring Dr. and insurance to get approval in a timely manner. Now, I am sleeping better with more energy! Great, friendly practice."

  • "I was referred to Dr. Tekle by a co-woker, this was one of the best thing that happened to me. I was suffering from sleep apnea and refused to use the cpap machine. I was averaging about 3-4 hours of sleep a night. I was falling asleep in meetings, at my desk, and watching television on the couch was a joke. My co-workers would joke on how long it would take me to fall asleep. I made an appointment with Dr. Tekle and my life has totally changed and everyone around me has noticed. Dr. Tekle fitted me for an Oral Sleep Appliance. OMG...I can't really put into words the difference this appliance has improved my sleeping, I sleep on average about 6-8 hours a night now. I'm no longer falling asleep in meetings, at my desk, and I can actually watch an entire show without falling asleep. If you have sleep apnea issues I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Tekle and her staff and the Oral Sleep Appliance."
