JEN CHANGED OUR LIVES! We feel like we have a whole new lease on parenting after working with her…read moreand we couldn't be more grateful. My husband and I are new parents to the most perfect little girl...who just didn't know how to sleep at night. She was a great daytime sleeper but would regularly wake up 8-10 every night. We were desperate for sleep and finally hit a breaking point around the 7 month mark. Side note: Intense sleep deprivation is truly no joke, and I am sending all of my love and strength to the moms and dads out there that are going through it right now (there is hope, and it's in the form of Jen Varela!). We started working with Jen at the end of May, and right away I appreciated the knowledge and care that Jen brought to her approach. As a first time mom, I didn't want to use the cry-it-out method and was happy to hear that was not her go-to strategy. We started with a much gentler approach that was developmentally appropriate, and although we did see some slight improvements in those first few weeks, we weren't making the progress we were hoping for. We started losing hope and were certain that we were going to be the first clients that Jen couldn't solve for. We were ready to give up and just accept our fate as walking zombies, but Jen never lost hope and always had another method up her sleeve. Fast forward to today and we are going on over a month of our baby girl both putting herself to sleep and sleeping through the night. We no longer have anxiety about bed time and are able to have some time back in our evenings. And we go to sleep confident that our girl has the skills to soothe herself when she wakes up! We are honestly still in disbelief that this is our new life. We went from getting 2-3 hours of fragmented sleep a night to now getting a full night's rest. It has completely reshaped our parenthood journey and our mental health for the better. We are SO grateful for Jen -- she has truly changed our lives! We know that baby and toddler sleep is ever-evolving and will change with time, but she has armed us with knowledge and tools that have given us confidence in the road ahead -- and we know that she's only ever a phone call away when we need her. THANK YOU JEN!!! We may have to name our second child after you in a show of gratitude.

Jen was amazing throughout the process. She was patient, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable…read moreduring our calls together. I wanted to find an alternative to cry it out method and Jen was the perfect solution. While there were a few tough nights Jen was by our side through and through. What I noticed was Jen didn't treat this like a gig or just going through the motion. She was genuinely invested and that's why I would recommend her to anyone who wants to find an alternative sleep training that moves at the pace of your child. If I went back in time, I would hire her again in a heartbeat. By graduation, my baby was able to sleep in the crib through the night! P.S. Jen we love you! Thank you again for everything!!

Dr. Sachi is a good doctor, but my experience with the front office was disappointing. While trying…read moreto schedule Botox treatment for facial pain, I had a rude interaction with a staff member and the call ended abruptly. When I asked if there was a manager I could speak with, I was told there wasn't one available and no one ever followed up with me. Later I received a message saying Botox appointments were being paused due to insurance reimbursement issues and my appointment was canceled. I understand that insurance logistics can be complicated, but I would have appreciated at least being offered the option to self-pay, especially since I know the office has offered Botox as a self-pay treatment before. I respect Dr. Sachi and the care provided, but I hope the communication and patient experience on the administrative side improves so other patients don't have a similar experience.

But when I spoke to the receptionist, I was simply told flat out that they didn't accept my insurance, and to go to UCSD (scary!), and given NO other referrals or suggestions as to where else to look for a healthy alternative. The receptionist seemed very stressed and desperate to get off the phone. I'm disappointed, and let down, but mostly, just very very tired. I hope others haven't had this experience.

Both "Doctors" at those clinics recently retired and left me hanging without support. I was told to completely start the OSA over with both clinics. So I decided to try West Coast since I live in North County. The office staff and Doc's assistant were friendly and communicated far better than I have ever experienced in other OSA offices. Dr. Henniger made through assessment and clearly explained my situation and plan like none others. This was the only time, after my initial visit to UCSD, that I walked out of the office filled with confidence.

West Coast Sleep Solutions saved my life!!! I could not be more grateful to Dr. Anisso and team…read more.. After being diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) earlier this year, I became depressed at the notion of a lifetime of CPAP dependency. A very good friend of mine died from lung complications made far worse by his CPAP dependency, he was 39 years old. As that terrible experience really hit home with me and as I'm in my early 40's with a beautiful Wife and Children, I knew I had to address this eventual lethal condition and own it (IT WILL eventually take your life or your memory, please don't fool yourself and get treated). After scouring the numerous OSA therapies on the market, it became immediately obvious that the most palatable (no pun intended) and safe therapy was mandibular repositioning. My Mother had heard a radio spot about West Coast Sleep Solutions and recommended I give them a call (you don't argue with Italian mothers ;). When I first contacted West Coast Sleep Solutions, I was greeted by Glenda (Office Manager), Glenda immediately impressed me with her willingness to actually listen to my case and answer all of my questions that she could (and I ask A LOT of questions :). She then quickly and expertly navigated me to Dr. Omer Anisso. After my consultation with Dr. Anisso, I knew I had chosen the correct dental sleep clinic and physician to address my VERY SEVERE sleep apnea (AHI 77 on my back!! - AHI of 27 overall or moderate OSA). In my particular line of work, I have to be razor sharp all of the time and the effects of OSA were taking a remarkable toll against the standards I hold myself to. First and foremost Dr. Anisso made me feel comfortable. Next he expertly answered all of my questions. Remarkably, like Glenda, I noticed he was really willing to listen to me and spend time with me. I have never once felt rushed, pushed, or unattended. Once Dr. Anisso and I determined a treatment plan, he wasted no time and went to work. He meticulously photographed my airway (X-RAY) and took precise measurements of my mouth. Next he took very careful impressions of my teeth (I have found this is critical to getting a mandibular repositioning device [MRD]) all the while making me feel comfortable. After a few weeks, I was fitted with my high tech ResMed Narval CC MRD. Dr. Anisso took lots of time to explain the process of titration and what steps were needed to achieve maximum comfort and efficacy. Again, he never made me felt rushed or hurried, was always pleasant and smiling (great sense of humor), and always made me feel welcome. After a few adjustments over a month's time, I achieved the "Sweet Spot", a term Dr. Anisso uses to describe the perfect setting of an MRD for each patient whereby the patient achieves maximum efficacy with maximum comfort (tolerability). Not only did my AHI effectively drop down under 10 on my side's, my O2 saturation (arguably the most important stat) improved substantially to an average of 90% or higher. That number is made more impressive as it was measured while accounting for me sleeping on my back and sides collectively whereby my AHI is worsened substantially on my back. I believe my O2 sat is even better than 90% when only sleeping on my sides. To help with this, Dr. Anisso recommended the combined therapy of the MRD and positional sleep therapy by way of a cheap and effective product known as the 'SlumberBUMP' (combined the results are amazing). In closing, Dr. Anisso treated my OSA and scientifically measured the results to eliminate subjectivity and to tune my treatment for maximum benefit. My snoring is gone, I don't yawn in the morning at all (not until night time as normal), I am sharp again, alert, and my energy is excellent. It's just a night and day difference. Heart palps are gone too. In the end, I judge people on what they do, not what they say, and Dr. Anisso and team are the real deal. I couldn't be happier recommending West Coast Sleep Solutions to people to treat their OSA and/or snoring. There is hope, you don't need a CPAP if you don't want one. Sincerely, Tom L

He was unhappy, constantly cranky, and didn't want to play/explore his surroundings. I was concerned and knew that it was because he wasn't getting enough sleep. I sought professional help from Amoreena, what I received was far beyond my expectations. After she provided me with a comprehensive assessment of my son's situation, we discussed my goals and how best to achieve them. Together, we created an individualized sleep plan that worked with our family's daily schedule. She was there to help me understand and solve every bump we came across. She empowered me to coach my son to independently go to sleep and stay asleep. She provided extensive guidance and support for as long as I needed it. I now have a baby that sleeps on his own and through the night. As a result, he is now exploring and experiencing the world around him. After seeing all the changes in my son and how happy he is now, I know I made the right choice and with the right consultant. Working with Amoreena changed our lives. It's the most amazing gift we've given our son and definitely worth the investment.
