Dr. Neil Barton Kavey, MD

keeps me up

He take voluminous notes in his laptop and makes suggestions that do not work for women who have hormonal sleep disorders due to menopause. It was clear to me that exactly at the time I stopped menstruating I began to not sleep. He did not take my insurance and was very expensive. I did not mind paying him if he helped me. He learned more from me than I did from him. Women are not insane just because they go through menopause!! All women go through menopause and some have very severe symptoms and some not. Almost all women do not sleep as well after their hormones change. I had a severe sleep disorder. Prior to menopause I slept extremely well.

The doctor is very nice. He takes his time. He is caring. He uses his time effectively. He is well dressed. He only speaks when he has Something to say.! He is bright and speaks with authority.

Dr.KaveyHow could you leave me without sleeping. This is your field of expetise. This is cruel on your part. Don"t put red and white lights outside. It does't matter. You just don't care. I have fixed my computer. Stop taking my friends away from me. I will survive. What a life you have created for me. Hire someone to stay up and assist. It was wonderful. Now there is nothing.

DEAR Dr. Kavey, I feel you are treating me as a victim of abuse. You can not go on keeping me from my friends, not letting me speak to them and not allowing me to speak to them. You give me two hours of sleep which is not allowing me to function. Then you go home . This device you have given me does not work. You can not sleep after using it. You are dumping on meto save yourself.Why don"t you hire someone to work the device properly. That would be doing a good deed:one that would be helping me. Torturing me does not help me. It is cruel. You are on your own now. You are making the decisions. Delorenzo may or may not be helping you. Do something now.

Dear Dr. Kavey, Im sorry that I told you I hated you. You must understand that ethical or racial background is different from SLEEP. I was wiped out today from your intentional schedule. Can you get a person to monitor the device.? Then you don't have to worry about whether the person is getting enough sleep., or whether the person is playing games. It is time to end the games.I would like to know whether you agree with me.

Although he comes off as kind and caring, I believe this doctor to be reckless and irresonsible. He prescribed both Atavan and Doxapin without apparent knowledge of their potential paradoxical effect (waking rather than sedating) or the extraordinary difficulty of withdrawal from them. He touted doxepin, tested it on his patients, and then revealed he had a part in developing Silenor, a rebranding of doxepin as a new low-dose sleep drug, for which he receives compensation. He prescribed Lunesta apparently compleely unaware that it acts very similarly to benzodiazapines with bizarre effects. He is living in the dark ages when it comes to sleep medicine.

I loved this doctor. He totally understood my issues and 10 yrs later still talking about how great my experience was. I am sorry that he is retired. I wanted to recommend him to a family member.

Kavey was highly recommended to me by physician friend of mine. After a sleep study and months of "treatment" I found that all the doctor did was take notes on his computer when I visited. On the first visit after the study he prescribed one medicine for Restless Leg even though I was supposed to be treated for sleep apnea. I was not prescribed a mask or CPAP machine. He just took notes. When I was having terrible reaction to the medicine he had prescribed he did not return my phone calls. Several days of phone calls. I think he is a fake. Never helped me. I doubt that he has all the specialties listed above. He is a fake in my opinion. Buyer beware.
