Patient Testimonials

[Dr. Cuartas] thank you very much for asking the right questions, being compassionate enough to offer the right solution and following through to make sure all is well after I started wearing the mouth piece.  I have now been wearing this mouth piece for better sleep for about 1 year and I’d do it all over again.  I actually look forward to getting to bed and wearing it because I know how well I’ll be sleeping.  I’d recommend this for anyone not sleeping well.

Marty B. - Oral Appliance Patient

After being diagnosed with sleep apnea, I used the CPAP machine for a year or so. The hook-up was awkward and I found it hard to get used to it. After discussing this with my sleep apnea doctor, he suggested I may want to consider looking into a sleep appliance (mouthguard). I was recommended to Dr. Cuartas. He took measurements and made adjustments for this appliance. I have been using this appliance for the last 3 years or so and I am completely satisfied. I would recommend this appliance to anyone who can’t tolerate the CPAP machine.
