My doctors, nurses, and front desk ladies are 5 stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m only putting for cause rivus as a company kinda need to work on their logistics I’ve been seeing Danielle Kuykendall for almost three years, and she is truly the best therapist I’ve ever had. She makes me feel completely safe and understood, and I’ve never once felt judged or talked down to. She uses different modalities in a way that feels really natural and tailored to me, and what stands out most is how she actually engages. She talks with you, not at you, and doesn’t just sit there silently. It feels like a real, supportive conversation, which made it so much easier for me to open up. She also knows exactly when to offer guidance and when to just listen, and her input is always thoughtful and genuinely helpful. I’d r

I wanted to like these people but I don’t. First appointment I tried to explain my medical history and current issues. Was constantly interrupted and talked over. I was in a lot of pain and could hardly walk. Needed an MRI and xray for my back and hip. Scheduled a follow up appointment for 2 weeks to have time to get blood test and other test results back. A week before I called to see where the mri was sent to as I had not heard anything. Left a voicemail with the nurse and never heard back. Called several times. Then a couple days before the appointment they said they didn’t have the results yet and I told them I am waiting to see who it was sent to as I never heard back. The next day I got a call to go in for the mri. I went to the follow up appointment and went over blood tes

For over a year, my daughter suffered from unexplained seizures. We saw neurologists, endocrinologists and several other specialists, made multiple ER visits, endured several ambulance rides per week, and spent thousands on doctors who weren't even covered by our insurance. Time after time we were told, "Everything looks fine," or "There's nothing more we can do." Meanwhile, her entire life was turned upside down. She had to quit cheerleading and leave school, and as her mom, I felt completely helpless watching her lose the life she loved. Then, through a referral from her sister, we found Rivus. Dr. Foster is truly a medical detective. She didn't settle for treating symptoms—she was determined to find the cause. It took a few months of carefully putting the pieces together, but she fou

They are unprofessional and they refuse to listen to the patients. They book multiple appointments for the same time slots and expect you to wait an hour or more past your appointment time. Every month I have to fight with them and make multiple phone calls to get my prescriptions called in. Then its another 3 phone calls to get them to call them into the correct pharmacy. They have you fill out a questionnaire when you arrive, and the person you're seeing never bothers to look at it. Today, I terminated their services because when I tried to talk to office manager about the way I was treated she got defensive and accused me of yelling (my throat is hoarse because everyone in my house has been sick for a week.) I was told my prescriptions would be called into the correct pharmacy. I get ho

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 RIVUS Wellness & Research Institute
What does RIVUS Wellness & Research Institute do?
RIVUS Wellness & Research Institute is a sleep medicine clinic in Oklahoma City, OK 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 RIVUS Wellness & Research Institute?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact RIVUS Wellness & Research Institute directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at RIVUS Wellness & Research Institute?
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 RIVUS Wellness & Research Institute?
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.
