Dr Takubo was (excellent)9 years, hate to see him go, but do wish him well. I’ve called the office many x for appts, tests, etc. it is ridiculous to have to hit the (1) key to continue to hold as many as 23x. I’ve been in waiting room and seen this happen to others. I’ve recently been released from hospital (1 month) for emergency surgery (no idea there was a problem). Upon discharge discovered that ‘hospitalist’ at Thomas decided to cancel 12 of my long time rx’s from my PC to my heart & lung drs. No ?’s or discussion, he even cancelled my rescue inhaler. Just what higher power does he believe he has been appointed?! I am furious! What right to cancel high blood pressure, lung rx’s, sleep rx’s, PTSD rx’s, thyroid rx (taken for 48 yrs) ?!

has signs saying non WVU patients will have to pay to leave. I was in-fact a patient just not a patient of pulmonary. They made me pay 5$ for a plastic gold token to leave the parking lot. claiming that I was in the wrong area therefore needed to pay this amount and that its posted on several signs. it in fact does not say pulmonary parking only nor does it say anything about the charge amount. this almost feels like an intentional scam to secure more money from people. if these charges are correct they should be posted on the signs before you enter.

It takes weeks to get an appointment. The doctor was great when we saw him. Then it took a very long time to get the equipment for the test. Then they said it would be up to 12 days to get the result. It has been much more than 12 days and no results. I called for them today. The nurse’s email announcement said she was too busy to call anyone back, but to leave a message. Months instead of days for the whole procedure. My wife had the appointment.

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 Thomas Hospitals Pulmonology
What does Thomas Hospitals Pulmonology do?
Thomas Hospitals Pulmonology is a sleep medicine clinic in South Charleston, WV 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 Thomas Hospitals Pulmonology?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Thomas Hospitals Pulmonology directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Thomas Hospitals Pulmonology?
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 Thomas Hospitals Pulmonology?
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.
