    I've been a patient of Dr. Barth for 6 weeks now and I cannot say how happy I am. Initially, I was…read moredepressed and had been taking sleeping pills (Zolpidem) for 2 years. After being on sleeping pills for so long, I decided to try CBT and I will admit, I didn't think it would work on me since we all tend to think negatively from time to time. I chose Dr. Barth based on reviews and decided to make the 90 mile drive to Oakland. After my second visit, we continued to meet via FaceTime which was a PLUS! For me, my insomnia and depression improved after approximately 3-4 weeks after my initial session with Dr. Barth. Prior to meeting him, I had been weaning off Zolpidem for a week. I am now able to fall asleep fairly fast and stay asleep for most of the night, drug-free!!! In the past, I would try to wean off on my own, or not take my pills but I had no success. I would fall asleep around 0300AM and wake up before 0600AM. The first few weeks were tough since part of the "program" requires you to go to bed at a certain time (or try), and wake up at the same time every day. The $ I spent on my therapy is worth the results! I am now back to doing my daily activities and sleeping about 50% better. This is the first time I seek treatment with a Psychologist, but overall, my experience with him has been a positive one in many ways. My therapy is coming to an end soon, but I feel confident that I will continue to progress and apply what I have learned during this process. If you find yourself desperate, or to the point that you are ready to start therapy for depression, insomnia or other issues you may be facing, do it with someone who has years of experience. Before choosing Dr. Barth, I googled many therapists who specialized in CBT. I searched for 4 months. I live in Modesto which is a fairly large city, and many therapists are in my area, but based on reviews or first impressions I got visiting other websites/reviews I decided that if I was going to spend my time and money on therapy, I wanted to put my trust on the best one out there. Like most of us, I didn't have the extra money to be spending visiting therapists that I felt may not be the best fit for me. I mean no disrespect to any professionals in this area, but in the times we live now, most of our costly purchases or investments we make, are based on reputation or reviews.

    Melissa worked with us as night doula from birth through 12 weeks for our second child, and did a…read morefantastic job setting our family up for success. She was a very supportive and flexible presence in the early weeks as we were establishing breastfeeding, figuring how to handle cluster feeds and fussy periods. And you can tell immediately from seeing Melissa work that she's great with babies, finding how they like to be soothed and comforted and to get to sleep for lying down in bassinet. I learned from Melissa how to help baby go to sleep at bedtime once they come out of the "pass out from the boob" phase, and how to double swaddle for working with a snoo. Melissa is also very dedicated and committed to her work. She was frequently early, and very communicative throughout the day through text if issues came up that I wanted to chat through (like troubleshooting burping, gas, soothing to sleep). She even drove through flooded areas one night to get to us as she didn't want to leave us hanging! It's also clear that Melissa has a wealth of experience that she's able to share and communicate directly - things like advice on the best swaddles, how to maintain bottle feeds to fight baby rejecting them, when to try more independent sleep routines, etc.  The experience with Melissa supporting us for our second baby was night and day compared to our first baby (where we had no doula), and I (mom) was quickly able to get to the point of having decent chunks of sleep again. It's been invaluable for setting up our baby for sleep success, and for me to have enough rest and patience to learn our new baby's preferences and bond with her. I highly recommend Melissa for this critical newborn period.

    Melissa is an incredible force! She helped with our newborn, from sleep training to just sleeping…read more We felt a tremendous burden lifted off our shoulders with her help and guidance as an expert for the first three months of the newborn. She utilized the Snoo and transitioned the infant to the crib seamlessly, and by the time she left, we had no need to "sleep train" any more. Very grateful to my mom's neighbor who recommended a night nanny or doula after having our first child. We were very anxious with all the random things that can go wrong with newborns (e.g. gassy, feeding, sleeping, sleep training, etc) so Melissa's calming and reassuring presence and guidance was very appreciated.

    RUN away from this "business." They gave me a different business name - so Medicare had to look up…read morethis doctor to find out where she worked. The doctor was adequate. The equipment they gave me broke down and I could not do the complete sleep study. I have called so many times - starting when the machinery broke down - and I have yet to have a call returned. They billed me $30 for "shipping" something the size of a pack of cigarettes. Now they want more money, but they have not produced a report. I refuse to pay until I get the report leading to my getting the C-pap. This entire thing has already been six months and I still have nothing to show for it. I shouldn't have to call Medicare to find out where my doctor is working from. When I know more I will report more but it does appear they are operating under more than one name. The only department that works well here is the billing department and maybe the doctor. No returned phone calls, no questions answered, no report, no prescription for a C-pap. But Medicare is intrigued now and they are on it. Medicare has a quality control group for things like this.

    They made a mistake in a claim when billing insurance and instead of taking responsibility for it,…read morethey harassed us for 3 years (2019 to present) trying to get us to pay, making threats by phone and mail to send us to collections every month along the way. When we called to pay, they denied it was being sent to collections as their phone calls and mail indicated, said they do a "final call" before sending to collections which is not what their paperwork in the mail each month said--it was very threatening with deadlines that we missed over and over due to lost mail. Very unprofessional and sketchy. Avoid. Sleep Quest is much better.

    Candise is wonderful! I've been working with her as I've been moving into a new phase of life :)…read morewith some challenging health changes. I had been experiencing persistent back discomfort and related symptoms that were impacting my day-to-day well-being. Her acupuncture treatment really hit the spot and eased a lot of tension. Through her thoughtful treatments, she's helped me find real relief and ease. She is incredibly thorough, kind, and comprehensive in her approach. Each session feels tailored to what my body needs in the moment, and she always takes time to explain what she's doing and why. I deeply appreciate her ability to combine technical expertise with genuine care and attentiveness. Beyond the treatments themselves, Candise creates such a warm and supportive environment. She listens closely, is easy to talk to, and makes sure you feel comfortable throughout the process. I highly recommend her to anyone navigating symptoms that are affecting their quality of life and looking for compassionate, effective support.

But, she…read morehas also been a game-changer after I overdid it with some intense exercise and was struggling with persistent foot pain and nerve sensitivity. What makes her so great is how empathetic and thorough she is. She didn't just stick a few needles in and walk away; she actually took the time to figure out exactly what was contributing to the nerve issues. She used acupuncture to release the muscles in the entire surrounding area, and the relief was almost immediate. It was like she knew exactly where the tension was hiding before I even pointed it out. Candise has become a stable in my self-care routine. Whether it's a specific injury or keeping my body in balance, she's incredibly attentive and makes the whole experience feel super relaxed. She's an active listener and possesses an incredible diagnostic eye.

    Dr. Dave is phenomenal. I referred many people to Dr. Dave and have heard and seen some *amazing…read moreresults in some *tough cases. If you're looking for a higher level of health or have hit the wall on a challenging health issue you just can't find the help you're looking for, definitely contact Dr. Dave! I've been going to him for 2 or 3 years now. I now have a completely different and enabling view of health and how to maximize it. I originally went to Dr. Dave with a really tight knot behind my right shoulder blade that 3 or 4 other chiropractors and massage therapists could do nothing about. And any small relief I had gotten went away very quickly. Dr. Dave got to the source of the problem very quickly, and that whole issue just doesn't exist any more. I'm actually grateful for the depth of Dr. Dave's knowledge and his willingness to doggedly stick to studying a challenging problem until he sorts it out. I also love his willingness to say "I have no idea, but I know who you should talk to". He's great about referring specific problems outside his expertise to others who have specialized appropriately. Update: We're doing some lab tests that may very well uncover something that I wasn't even aware of that may have negatively-effected me for the rest of my life. Dr. Dave's really got my back. It's really surprising to have a doctor who is as insightful and thorough as he is.

I had…read moreendured this once before years ago and had received relief only after a long and expensive series of cortisone shots. On a family member's encouragement, I went to see Dr. Lepp. He did a thorough investigation and analysis of what was going not only with my foot, my posture, my gait, and my lifestyle, but also what was going on in my diet that needed help so I could heal. In a much shorter time than my last bout, I am happy to say I am walking and hiking hours at a time with no pain and no limp. If you have foot or leg problems, I recommend you go see him and follow the treatment plan he sets up for you. It is great to be on my feet again, and I must say, I don't think I could feel as good as I do without his caring attention and knowledge. He is a very talented practitioner.
