Dr. Bogan is the kindest doctor. He listens to my current problem & answers my questions.. He is willing to work with me. Takes time, doesn't rush. During exam if he finds a problem unrelated to sleep, he suggest I see my other doctors. Goes the extra mile! Staff longevity which says a lot about his character. Recommend highly!

Although Dr Bogan in knowledgeable, he doesn't listen to his patients. He wants only the facts. He makes conclusions quickly. I tried to explain to him the awakenings I was having. He looks at the report and says it says here you slept 8 hours. You had about 3 events an hour, which is normal. I tried to explain that when you awake 7 - 8 times a night the numbers are altered. But he doesn't care about what your input is, only the machine. Sleep is something a machine can only vaguely gage. It is a very human experience. I gave him reports created from my cpap and he said they were garbage to him. He couldn't interpret the data it was too detail for him. Don't waste your money.

Dr. Bogan is a very intelligent man, and he's always so laid back. He never makes you lose hope. Sleep disorders are very disruptive to peoples' lives and no one in the general public seems to understand it...they think I'm just lazy and don't care. It's nice to go see Dr. Bogan and see that there are people in the world here to help. I highly recommend him.
