Waste of time, money, and energy. I was interested in meeting Dr. Gowda but never had the opportunity, as I was always handed off to nurse Brandon instead. Home sleep study was a joke - one night only of wearing a sensor on my finger while an app recorded - I’m guessing just pulse, oxygen, and maybe movement - just go buy an Oura and track yourself, or Apple Watches may do this for you. Setting up a time to pick up the sleep kit was infuriating - you have to call and the texting option was worthless so it took ages to coordinate, and their hours are limited in the afternoon. Not everyone has time to play phone tag during their own work day. Then when I got the results, via telehealth, it was simply “you are at the lowest end of mild sleep apnea.” I said I wasn’t interested in treating it at that time and Brandon was about to end the call. I brought up other concerning numbers on the printout of the study results (like I got a 44 where it said normal was above 55) and he dismissed me saying “I don’t even know what that number means” and scoffed at ME as if I was the moron for being concerned about my own health - I wake up constantly and am regularly fatigued, hence making an appointment!!! It took me SIX pleading attempts to get him to even entertain the idea of discussing the other issues I was concerned with, and his only answer was to throw drugs at the problem with zero real options or attempts to understand anything else going on. I wish I could say this was the worst appointment of my life, but as a “healthy” woman I’ve had a lot of encounters with dismissive and arrogant men in medicine, and then they seem to wonder why their patients are annoyed. Get a clue - maybe listen to your patients and stop making them fight to be heard. I still would have been interested in seeing Dr. Gowda after this, but after reading more reviews consistent with how awful I felt after my appointment, I do not wish to give another penny to this practice.

Dr. Gowda and his center were first suggested to me back in 2022. It took two months to get an initial appointment where the nurse practitioner seemed hard set to sell me on CPAP and that sleep apnea must be the source of my insomnia. She even went so far as to tell me the machines were quiet as her computer and was unphased when I told her that I wouldn’t be able to sleep with a mask on. Undeterred she suggested an in home sleep test then a in lab test. Trusting a medical professional’s advice I spent May to November doing these studies to find out I had…insomnia. Over the next year I tried the different drugs she suggested with little to no help and had multiple instances of not sleeping for days at a time. Eventually we landed on the same drug my PCP was giving me when the center was suggested to me. Back to square one. Last month when scheduling an appointment to update my FMLA paper work that they gave me last year, I found out the “nurse practitioner” filled the papers out again the office’s policy. Livid isn’t quite enough to describe how I feel about the experience. Never once have met or seen Dr. Gowda, but the office manager does insist he oversees all the cases in his office. It was all a waste of time and money.

I have gone to Tx Sleep Medicine for years. I have a severe case of restless legs and also have sleep apnea. I see Monique most of the time, but we consult Dr. Gowda too. I have had multiple surgeries in the last ten years that significantly disrupt my restless legs treatment. Monique is wonderful working with me to adjust the meds and get everything straightened out. I use the patient portal between visits to keep her up to date with symptoms and she always gets back to me within 24 hours. Both Dr. Gowda and Monique are wonderful to work with, very caring and professional. I trust them both completely. This is the way medicine should be!

I had a 9pm appt. got there 15 mins before as requested. I was welcomed and temp was checked and then I was led to my room and told to make myself comfortable and that someone would come shortly. The room was big and clean and had a tv, wifi, standing fan and overhead fan. Maybe I got a suite!!! Cailin came in and was so pleasant, helpful and kind. Explained everything to me. I changed in the very nice-smelling and spotless bathroom. Went back to my room. Asked for another pillow and got it. Cailin was gentle and explained the process every step of the way as she hooked me up. We laughed and I felt as though I had known her my whole life! What an incredible person. I am so grateful. My night was wonderful and she came in the morning and gently took off the wires and offered me a washcloth to take off the residue. I left soon after thanking them profusely for a wonderful experience. I was sad to leave my “mini vacation “. I highly recommend this facility. The staff are like family, polite, considerate, kind, helpful and just simply wonderful! Great job to everyone, especially Cailin who made me feel relaxed. Any anxiety that I had, disappeared when I got through the front door. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking such excellent care of me! I will never forget it.

Did the study, never received the results from study or a description of the results. 6 months later they tell me during a pandemic to receive past due supplies I need to come in because they have not seen me in over a year? I was there for the study 6 months ago!!!

For the first time, I was listened to. I had come fully prepared with a ridiculous docket of information about my past symptom history and symptom progression. I was booked for a sleep study and diagnosed with narcolepsy. After years of being misdiagnosed, I finally had answers.

Monique is wonderful! I feel like she really listens to me and seems committed to helping me find an answer. She is also super knowledgeable about her speciality. I wish she was my primary care provider!

I expected to walk into a pretty snoozy place, employees drooped over their keyboards, a regular Decaf Cafe. Instead it was a beehive of activity run with a ballet's timing. The staff was attentive, sympathetic, constructive, scientific. The overnight sleep-study staff were equally professional and made an otherwise awkward process very comfortable. The end result was a set of specific medical steps that have so far resulted in my sleeping much better. I am so glad I used their services.

Check in is very efficient, as is the BiPAP data download and evaluation. Equipment replacement orders are processed in the office, avoiding 3rd party vendors. On top of this, very friendly staff!
