Eos Sleep

I am super pleased with EOS. I had been using CPAP religiously for a couple of years, but really didn’t care for it and found it awkward-​to-​impossible to use on camping trips and in unconventional sleeping situations. Dr. Mingrone is a total expert who recommended a very methodical plan for dealing with my incredibly loud snoring and apnea. First he got me set up with Dr. Aaronson, who’s awesome, for a highly customized mouthpiece that has not only eliminated the need for the CPAP, but is way more comfortable and convenient.
With the CPAP out of the way, I later decided to follow Dr. Mingrone’s advice to correct my deviated septum and, at the same time, do a fairly un-​invasive technique called «the Pillar Procedure» to firm up the back of my pallet and — hopefully — reduce the snoring on those days when I forget or fall asleep before inserting the mouth piece. Even though the real effects of the Pillar Procedure come after a few months, I’m only a few weeks past the surgery and my partner tells me I’m practically silent now when I sleep.
Snoring is a total drag and, for epically loud snorers like me, downright humiliating on occasion. CPAP was effective, but Dr. Mingrone’s careful assessment and thoughtful plan of action has improved my quality of life immensely.

Who … me? I don’t snore. Must’ve been the TV. (LOL)
Ok, i lied. I do snore. I admit it.
And I thought my admission of guilt was the hardest part. I was wrong.
The next step was even harder. I had to walk into an office and admit that I snored to a bunch of strangers. Now this is where EOS Sleep earns their 5+ stars.
Kourtney greeted me at reception with compassion and the warmest smile. She explained my medical coverage in very easy to understand terms and helped me fill out my paperwork. She must’ve sensed that I was initially uneasy and did an awesome job of distracting me with conversation about current events and fantasy football. Before I could change my mind and run out the door, I was sitting down talking with a doctor about (* information redacted due to doctor patient confidentiality *).
LOL, that last line is from working in the legal industry for wayyyy too long.
What I can say about Dr. Mingrone is that he possesses a perfect balance of knowledge and humor that puts you at ease… especially in a very uncomfortable setting. (At least uncomfortable from where I sat.) And for the record, cutting your tongue out isn’t a good solution to sleep apnea… I looked it up, Doc.
So the first step was admitting there was a problem. Check.
The second step was going to a professional to seek help. Check.
The next step was following up… And I’m terrible at that.
Kourtney called me, left a voicemail, and sent me an email. They did a great job of following up that made it easy for me to schedule my next appointment. Next appointment scheduled. Check.
They offered me a wide array of options to help with my snoring/​apnea. Since I’m not a fan of surgery, I opted to go with a mouthpiece. I was fitted by their resident dentist, Dr. Aaronson. He is awesome … and hilarious. My appointments took longer than normal because I found myself laughing when I was supposed to keep my mouth still during the fitting.
I now use a mouthpiece when I sleep (similar to one that you use when playing football or boxing) and I sleep sooooooooooo much better. I barely snore. I wake up refreshed. I have more energy.
And I don’t wake up the neighbors any more. Grin.
EOS Sleep, you’ve changed my life. Thank you.

To truly experience quality customer service call EOS and if you happen to get Ashley you’ll immediately understand what I’m writing about! Answered ON the first ring! During lunch hour! You could hear her smile over the phone! I think I’ve died and gone to heaven! This after numerous infuriating calls to Apria Healthcare! (See my review of them!).
In addition, my first visit to their very conveniently located offices, uncovered a deviated septum (they used a small video camera in my nose after deadening it with a spray) that NONE of previous Drs. had found, even after a panoramic X-​ray with one of them! How do you miss that??? Anyway, I’m hoping this medical group will be able to finally rid me of my CPAP and the need to deal with the likes of Apria! And maybe even my post nasal drip too! Yeah, they’re that good! I’ll update as necessary.

I’ve had a lot of doctors in my life, and Dr. Mingrone is the perfect mix of friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. Unlike other doctors who seem to be only thinking about hurrying to their next patient, Dr Mingrone genuinely wants to make sure that you understand each option and treatment.
Turns out I do not have sleep apnea, and after confirming that with the tests, he gave me some helpful suggestions. Other doctors would still probably try to sell expensive procedures and such, but Dr Mingrone was very honest and wished me well.
I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking about getting checked out for sleep apnea or changing what they are currently doing to treat it.

These people are the real deal.
Dr. Mingrone is the third physician I’ve seen for sleep apnea. Both of the others — one in a respected university sleep clinic — just wanted to sell me a CPAP machine.
Dr. Mingrone was the only one who thoroughly examined my nasal passages and explained the abnormalities that might be contributing to apnea. Then Dr. Aaronson, a dentist, used sonar to measure my throat opening with different jaw positions. I had been trying an oral appliance, which helped snoring but not apnea. Aaronson adjusted it so it would be effective for both. A home sleep study confirmed what I already knew: I’m sleeping better and the apnea is under control.
Here’s what they didn’t do. They didn’t suggest a more expensive inpatient sleep study (the university MD did), even though there was a chance they would have to eat the cost of the home study. They didn’t try to sell me a new oral appliance before working with the one I had.
Now, what worked for me might not work for you. But they treat each patient individually. I sent a friend with apnea to see them. He was told to go home, exercise, and eat less.
I was leery at first because EOS Sleep advertises a lot and has nice offices in an expensive area. But they know what they’re doing, they put the patient first, they listen, and they don’t run up the bill. I recommend them without reservation.
