Adult Pulmonology, Sleep Medicine, Adult Critical Care

2150 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20037

Dr. Vivek Jain, who practices in Washington, DC, is a medical specialist in adult critical care, sleep medicine, and adult pulmonology.

"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: 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. 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. 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. 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. Such a waste of time. 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."

Adult Pulmonology, Sleep Medicine

2440 M Street NW, Washington, DC

Dr. David Gross' specialties are sleep medicine and adult pulmonology. He practices in Washington, DC.

"This is the worst doctor that I have seen at Washington Hospital Center. This doctor should not be in the net work. I will never recommend him to anyone. Dr. Gross did not explain my diagnosis in a manner that I could understand and he behaved as if he didn't have the time to answer my questions, or even talk with me. After I tried to ask him questions he replied that I should take home the results, read it and if I had questions I should call the office. I sat in the waiting area reading the results of my sleep test and he walked out of the office, said goodbye to his staff and left me sitting in the waiting room, still reading the results. I was so displeased with his behavior that I took the results to my primary care doctor and told my primary care doctor about this behavior and how displeased I was. I was displeased with him from my very 1st visit when he criticized my insurance and made me feed like I was not welcome because I had Aetna PPO. His remark was that he was not sure that Aetna was paying anything. His entire mannerism was rude. He is a replica of his name. After two visits, I am confident that I do not need to visit a doctor like this anymore. If you are looking for a caring doctor who will explain the results of your sleep study, make you feel welcome and find time to talk to you as a patient, as well as answer your questions, then please do not go to Dr. Gross."

What is Sleep Medicine?

Sleep medicine is the medical field that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to sleep and rest. This can include difficulty sleeping well at night or problems with daytime sleepiness. Sleep medicine specialists treat patients of all ages who need better rest.

When people think of sleep disorders, they often think of insomnia. That's one kind of sleep disorder, but there are several others. In addition to insomnia, a sleep medicine specialist may treat conditions such as:

Sleep apnea
Shift work disorder
Circadian rhythm disorder
Severe or recurrent jet lag
Narcolepsy

Treatments may include medication, light therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, or CPAP therapy. CPAP, which stands for continuous positive airway pressure, is one of the most commonly prescribed treatments. These tiny machines have a tube and mask and blow a stream of air over the face at night, helping patients with snoring or sleep apnea to breathe easily and sleep more soundly.

One important tool often used in sleep medicine is the sleep study or polysomnogram, where patients sleep either in a lab or at home with a monitoring device. The sleep study allows doctors to measure the quality of sleep over an entire night, check for various sleep problems, and identify breathing disorders such as sleep apnea. If performed in a lab, patients will arrive and spend the night sleeping in a bed similar to one in a hotel room. Patients may have electrodes attached to their head and chest to monitor their breathing, oxygen levels, brain waves, and heart rate. Technicians collect the information, which physicians can use to identify and diagnose disorders that have been interrupting sleep.

Not getting enough rest at night makes people feel terrible, can make it difficult to do the things they need to do, and can even put people at higher risk for physical and mental health problems. Feeling tired all the time can be a huge quality of life issue. If a sleep disorder is preventing someone from getting enough rest, a sleep medicine specialist can help them manage the problem so that they have the energy to enjoy their life.
