Testimonials

“I was dealing with overwhelming fatigue and found out I had sleep apnea. I was put on CPAP therapy. I started to go back downhill, and Dr. Barker prescribed a very specific medication to help me sleep at night. It clicked. It changed everything. I went from just existing to actually having a life. It made a huge different in my quality of life. Dr. Barker is wonderful and very supportive.”

“I went to three different sleep clinics and had one major, unnecessary surgery. Then I went to see Dr. Barker, did the sleep studies, and got prescribed the therapy that I use. After the first night of using that therapy, I got the first good night’s sleep I’ve gotten in 25 years. It changed my entire life.”


— Don Hudson • Sleep Apnea & Insomnia

 

“After 7 years of suffering from depression, I was seeing no end in sight. Before I went to see Dr. Barker I was skeptical and didn’t understand that sleep played such a vital role in how I felt. In less than a year after my sleep study, I was off of anti-depressants. I can’t tell you how much better I feel. It’s like the fog has lifted and I can finally see again”

— Erik Chandler • Sleep Apnea

 

“Dr. Barker put me at ease immediately. The rooms were so much nicer than I expected and the staff was very friendly and professional. I can’t tell you how nice it is to be able to watch a movie without nodding off. This treatment has changed my life 180 degrees.”

— Emily Hildreth • Narcolepsy

 

“I’m a truck driver. When I could only drive for 45 minutes at a time without wanting to fall asleep I knew I needed help. I went to see Dr. Barker and she diagnosed me with sleep apnea. The staff was so patient in making sure that I got the right equipment. My quality of life has never been better!”

— Jack Tharp • Sleep Apnea

 

“Dr. Barker changed my life. After 24 years of struggling with insomnia and not being treated successfully, I am sleeping through the night and feel rested in the morning. I was also diagnosed with Restless Legs Syndrome and the treatment here has completely cured it!”

— Stephanie Greene • Insomnia & RLS

 

I had been to several doctors but Dr. Barker was the only doctor that really took the time to fully understand what was going on with me. I was amazed at how knowledgeable she was about sleep and how it affects your overall health. Now when I come home from working all day I still have tons of energy left.”

“I’ve even been able to help my mom get the right sleep care she needed. After five years of having been misdiagnosed and having no follow-up treatment, she was very reluctant. Dr. Barker and her staff put her at ease right away. She was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea but is now getting the quality treatment she needs.”

— Martin Bradley • Sleep Apnea

 

“I was exhausted for some time and finally broke down and had a sleep study.  I found out I have severe sleep apnea and now it’s a world of difference with the CPAP machine and the help of Dr. Barker and her staff.”

“Suddenly I woke up in the middle of the night with an extremely rapid heart beat. It was Atrial Fibrillation, they call it AFIB. Barker Sleep did a sleep study and I had 137 episodes a night.  They recommended a CPAP machine, I’ve used it every single night for 6 years and have never had another episode. My husband slept with earplugs for 6 years, he hasn’t had to do that anymore and I haven’t had a heart attack.”
