My mom was an RN who taught in a school of nursing, my dad was a conscientious objector in WW Ii. He wound up serving as a medic. In the years of early. childhood there I was, in several rehab type facilities! Learning to walk with long leg braces and crutches. And in those years as I grew into adolescence I met scores of them. It felt like platoons of doctor soldiers marching in on me. To say such things as, "We'll. be seeing you in surgery tomorrow at 7 a.m." After that I interacted with countless physicians, and possibly scarred a bunch of doctorly egos. I was an awful patient because I so much wanted to be back home, exploring the field, the stream, the small forest on the hill behind our house. For a couple of years it was nothing but swarms of white jackets, PTs and exercise gear. With the occasional visit to the OR again. Hardly ever more outdoors other than getting from one building to another. Now I think of myself as a capable doctor critic. So to me Dr. Samrao is an ok physician. I didn't get a warm sense of caring from him, and maybe that's just him pulling away from his practice as he retires. That will be quite a change for him, in which I wish him well.

I live a THREE-HOUR round-trip drive from the lab, and dutifully showed up on the evening of my appointment for my overnight sleep testing for apnea. The lab facility is well-appointed and clean, with comfortable beds/rooms but: there was only a SINGLE technician on hand for the four or five patients who were overnighting there. The tech was pleasant and tried her best, and had me all wired up with numerous electrodes and the equipment cabling. But then: when she hooked me up to the equipment in my room: she could not get the equipment to communicate with the command room. She couldn't get her computer to be able to control my equipment, either. Due to the fact that she had other patients to attend to, she left ME dangling, took care of each of them - and then, finally after midnight, tried to figure out why my equipment wasn't functioning. After "joking" that maybe I'd just have to go home and come back some other night, she grew more and more concerned when she just couldn't get things to work. She tried calling help - but - NOTHING worked. Finally, around 1:30 AM, she - apologetically: said that she just couldn't figure it out and that I couldn't be tested that night. Despite the fact I have a VERY busy schedule, despite the fact I had carefully prepped for that night, had had someone come in to stay with my (ill) wife at home who was facing dire surgery in a couple weeks, despite the fact THEY had made ME sign paperwork noting that if *I* didn't show up for my appointment, I'd be charged $250, despite the fact I had driven all that way - well, too bad for me. She then said that I could just try to sleep for a couple hours (remember: I had had no sleep at all since the previous night) but that I'd have to be kicked out at 5 AM anyway. She asked if I just wanted to leave the electrodes and patches on and she'd take them off in the morning. Well, by then (nearly 2 AM) I was furious at this waste of my time AND patience. Three hours to figure out they COULDN'T DO ANYTHING - nearly six HOURS after I had arrived on premises that evening? So I asked her to take everything off me NOW. I then went back to the restroom, stood over the sink and scrubbed the HUGE amount of electrode paste she had smeared into my scalp OFF (far more of this gummy gloop than was needed,) went to my room, dressed, packed up - and LEFT after 2 AM. There was NO way - in my now-furious state, I was going to be able to sleep THERE for a couple hours and then be kicked out. She waved me goodbye - and I began the LONG drive home, through the dark, through Central Valley, back up into the mountains - a thorough waste of my time. And to REALLY rub salt into the wounds? They had already scheduled my follow-up appointment with Dr. Javaid for a few weeks later, to go over the results of this evening's testing that DIDN'T happen. I decided to wait until they called me, to - as they SHOULD have: apologize, and to try to regain my trust. But: they NEVER called. I waited until the day before the appointment, and then I called THEM. The receptionist/scheduler seemed totally dumbfounded - seemed not to have a clue what had happened to me on that night in the lab, apparently didn't even realize there was no lab report or reason for me to come in the next day. And her reaction? "Well, let's try to schedule you for another lab testing night, okay?!" No. NOT "Okay." Terribly unprofessional office - lab - and I do NOT suggest YOU waste your time as I did mine. And considering I had to drive that 130-mile trek TWICE: once to consult with Dr. Javaid, and again for that ridiculously frustrating, useless night in the lab, well: they certainly wasted a big chunk of my time, mileage, and patience. How is it that THEY don't owe ME $250.00 for not keeping MY appointment? The upshot? I received another referral to a different sleep disorder MD (this one in Fresno) and had a GREAT consultation with the doctor, and then one week later, just last night: had my preliminary overnight lab testing at THEIR lab - Valley Sleep Diagnostics, which had TWO totally professional technicians on hand for (we) four patients. A BEAUTIFUL facility, where me - and my TIME were respected, and I had a great and wholly-successful lab test overnight last night. Which makes the DISRESPECT I was afforded at Madera Pulmonary Sleep Disorders Center all that much MORE galling. It wasn't JUST the insult of that wasted night's experience - but their total lack of follow-up that really spurred me to give THIS review, which would have been "0" instead of "1" if that had been an option. And especially so when I experienced - last night - how a lab experience really SHOULD go, and how a patient really CAN be RESPECTED.
