Dr. Michael Bruce Polsky, MD

Very satisfied with his professionalism and the complete care he provided.

I was refereed to the center by my primary care physician for sleep issues since childhood and the inability to fall asleep. This has of course has had adverse effects almost daily, I checked with my insurance and unfortunately they would not be covering any visits to the sleep clinic or studies undertaken there, knowing this I still booked an appointment and was optimistic that I would be taking steps towards fixing a life long issue. I have to open by saying that the staff at the facility were some of the nicest people I've met at a doctors office, extremely kind and fun. On my first visit I met with the physicians assistant and explained that for as long as I can remember I have always had a hard time falling asleep, many nights just laying in the bed staring at the ceiling till dawn. Getting to sleep was my main and only issue. I was scheduled for 2 home based studies with different recording instruments, a bracelet for a week and then one night with a probe attached to my finger.… Once these were completed a video call was scheduled to go over the results and discuss the next steps. On the video call the physicians assistant wen over my results and started talking about apnea, mentioning it quite frequently but never anything about the problems falling asleep. Finlay I interrupted her and asked if the 2 studies looked for anything other than apnea, to which she responded no. I explained that the cost of this was coming out of my pocket and that I had hoped that any study would pertain to my issue but was told they couldn't test or treat any issue related to falling asleep, their tests were for apnea. I was pretty deflated by this, no only had both their and my time been wasted but come to find out I now owe them almost $750 for absolutely nothing. If they had of told me in the beginning that they could not do anything for my issue then the cost of a single visit would been bearable but to be charged because a doctor submitted a patient for testing unrelated to their condition is a really hard pill to swallow. I feel like I could have told them anything (stubbed toe, flat tire, souffle collapsing, etc) and the same studies would have been ordered, I guess that's how they make their money, seems they are a cpap mill, akin to a late 90s pain clinic dispensing oxycontin, perhaps they should change their name to reflect this. If you have problems falling asleep, don't attempt to get help here, your insurance probably isn't going to cover it and you'll only walk away will a bill and no better off.
