Pulmonologists - Washington, DC

"I was referred to Dr. O'Donnell about 5 years ago. She is a great doctor. She listens, she cares, she is very knowledgeable in lung disorders and sleep apnea....she always asks the appropriate questions and puts the needs of the patient at the forefront of any recommended treatment. \r \r My primary care doctor referred me to her and I'm glad he did!"

"This office does not have a good scheduling system. Remember that once you do your sleep study, you may not be able to see them for a follow up until 4 months or so. On top of it, keep in mind that they may cancel your appointment few days/weeks before your appointment and you might be asked to reschedule again and wait another few months. Below is my experience:\r I had an appointment with Dr. Vivek Jain on January 13. I met him that day, did a sleep therapy study later and returned the kits for a follow up study and appointment. \r When I asked for follow up appointment, they said I would not be able to meet my doctor until June (about 4 months of wait time) and booked me with Dr. Hunley (a nurse practitioner) on April 1st (April 1st was itself about 2 months of wait time but I had no other options although I wanted to be seen by Dr. Jain). Now, after waiting so many weeks, they have cancelled my appointment with Dr. Hunley! I called them and they told me that Dr. Hunley is leaving them on April 3rd or 4th and she has cancelled my appointment on April 1st.\r I asked them if they could book me with a different doctor or nurse practitioner and they told me they were unable to do so until June.\r This is definitely a terrible place to do sleep study and I would recommend against scheduling appointments with them. Now, I am trying to release my test results so that I can take them elsewhere.\r Such a waste of time.\r By the way, I was not called about my appointment cancellation. I got a notification through Follow-my-health (online application) and I called myself to see what is going on."
