I love Callie and Dr. Surles! So glad I found them for my medical care. HOWEVER, what is up with the phone system? I've been trying to get through for a week (here and there, when I have the time), and today I'm on my 30th minute of waiting and still not through!! It keeps saying "caller 2" but I haven't gotten through yet.

I was reluctant to change pcps at 42 yrs old, but I'm so glad I did. Dr. Malpass was a great listener and very personable. Very down to earth. The staff was also very nice. I'm excited about this new change.

My OB/GYN RECOMMENDED this office to me to establish a Primary Care Physician, saying they truly cared and would take time with me. I've been trying for WEEKS to get an appointment, with no callback. I've called and left THREE messages on Milicent Godley's voicemail (like directed to on the automated system) and she has not returned my call even once. I even filled out their new patient online form to get an appointment, still not a peep. I understand you're busy, I even understand if you're not taking new patients, but AT LEAST let me know something. This is not the way to show you care and I will let the doctor that recommend you know, as well as find a doctor who actually cares!

I always have such a good experience at the FarmVille Physicians East Office. This time I saw Karen Conklin. She is wonderful- knowledgeable, understanding, a good listener. When it was noted that I was late with my mammogram she went out of her way to make sure I could go ahead and have it done before I left. I cannot recommend her and the office enough.

Karen Conklin is a topnotch care provider. I have felt since going to Dr. Hamstead that I am blessed to have him as my doctor. Karen is exceptional just as Dr. Hamstead is. The nursing staff is very responsive and capable, as is the front desk staff.

What to expect at a sleep study appointment
For an in-lab study, you arrive in the evening and sleep in a private room while sensors record breathing, oxygen, heart rhythm and body movement. For a home sleep test, the clinic gives you a portable kit you use in your own bed. Neither test is painful. Results are usually compiled into a physician report within one to two weeks, and the clinic then discusses whether treatment — such as CPAP therapy or an oral appliance — is needed.
Preparation basics: avoid caffeine in the afternoon, skip lotions and hair products, bring comfortable sleepwear, and take your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Frequently asked questions about Physicians East
What does Physicians East do?
Physicians East is a sleep medicine clinic in Farmville, NC that evaluates and treats sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy. Evaluation usually involves a sleep study, and treatment may include CPAP therapy, an oral appliance, or behavioral therapy depending on the diagnosis.
Do I need a referral to book a sleep study at Physicians East?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Physicians East directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Physicians East?
Sleep study costs vary widely with the type of test, your insurance plan and your deductible. Home sleep tests generally cost less than in-lab studies. Ask the clinic for an itemized estimate and check with your insurer about in-network rates before booking.
Does insurance cover sleep studies and CPAP treatment?
Most US insurers, including Medicare, cover sleep studies and CPAP therapy when they are medically necessary and properly documented. Coverage details — deductibles, co-pays and supply replacement schedules — differ by plan, so verify with your insurer and the clinic.
How long does it take to get sleep study results?
Typically one to two weeks. A sleep physician reviews the recorded data and writes a report, after which the clinic discusses the findings and any recommended treatment with you.
Can I do the sleep study at home?
Possibly. Home sleep apnea tests suit many adults with a high likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea and no major heart or lung conditions. If your symptoms are complex or the home test is negative despite strong symptoms, an in-lab study is usually the next step. The clinic can determine which option fits you.
What should I bring to my appointment at Physicians East?
Comfortable sleepwear, your photo ID and insurance card, a list of current medications, and your own pillow if that helps you sleep. Avoid caffeine after midday and skip lotions or hair products, because sensors attach better to clean skin.
