I went in with my sister who was the patient. The medical assistant was cold and unwelcoming. The doctor was great. But the icing on the cake was the rude, disrespectful front desk receptionist. She was just nasty and made my sister feel like her questions were burdensome and unimportant. Luckily, there was another lady who chimed in and kindly answered her questions several times when the other person just looked smugly at my sister and offered zero help. It was super bizarre. The uncaring nature of the support staff towards people who are sick or facing cancer is highly disappointing. I recommend the doctors look for some new staff as they set the tone for how well people feel cared for.

This has been nightmare! My husband went there to see a pulmonologist for his damaged lungs. He saw a Nurse Practitioner. He ordered a medication. It needed a prior authoriation. They said it would be sent to the insurance company within a week. It's been weeks. Supposedlythismedication is the only medication that can be used. If insurance doesn't cover it the medication will costs $4000 per month! Some employee in that office said my husband will be on it for the rest of his life. •There is no communication from Salem Pulmonology. •They don't answer phone calls nor return messages. •They beyond rude to patients and will yell at them. •A lady who works there who states she is Russian. Phoned my husband up while he was at work and was so angry with him and and yelled at him. •Myhusband ca

This would be a zero star review if they would give me that option. First of all, you can't get through to these people by phone and when they call you, it's an automated message on the line instead of a human being. Very frustrating. Then when I showed up for my appointment, I parked on the north side of the building because that was the only parking lot I saw. I was then told by the lady at the front desk to move my car and park under the building. I asked her 3 times what side of the building the ramp was on and her answer was the same thing each time. That parking was under the building. I didn't think that asking where the ramp was in order to get there was too difficult of a question but apparently it was. Then the icing on the cake walked into one of the rooms that I was waiting in.

The support staff, especially with scheduling are absolutely without a doubt, the worst for customer service! I have called 4 times and once by email leaving messages to return my call for scheduling an appointment. So far, after two weeks, I still have not received a call back! If this is how they run their business, I may and/or will go somewhere else. Unbelievable!!!

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 Salem Pulmonary Associates, P.C.
What does Salem Pulmonary Associates, P.C. do?
Salem Pulmonary Associates, P.C. is a sleep medicine clinic in Salem, OR 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 Salem Pulmonary Associates, P.C.?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Salem Pulmonary Associates, P.C. directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Salem Pulmonary Associates, P.C.?
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 Salem Pulmonary Associates, P.C.?
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.
