Stony Brook Sleep Disorders Center

"Can't even make an appointment for a "consultation " for months and no interest in improving the situation! When you try to help they yell and hang up."

"The worst staff ever....you better have an email confirmation or something written down by that office for your appointment because they either don't have a record of your appointment or they have canceled it without your knowledge. Absolutely the worst place to go for treatment. I highly recommend not going here. If I could give a zero, I would."

"On Monday August 21, 2023 I had a 2pm appointment with Dr. Avram Gold, I went in because I was developing more issues with my sleeping and getting up in the middle of the night. I spoke to his assistant which was very nice and to the point, and then their was a student, he ask can he stay I said okay. He stay quiet. My son which is an adult was also in there. After about 20 to 30 minutes getting the information. He was ready to go get the doctor. Dr. Gold walked in sniffling and my son and I looked at each other with disbelief, he also had a tissue in his hand, he said before I can said anything, he put his hand up and said I had the flu, I'm on antibiotics and I'm good. No mask on and coughing and sniffling. I felt so uncomfortable, I could even answer all the questions because I was nervous. I ran outta there so fast. But, not fast enough. That night I had a fever, chills, and bones hurting. I went to stat the next morning and sure enough I have covid. Now I'm pissed because I had enough problems breathing at night, now this. I feel like life is not right at this moment. So I called the office manager Lorraine at the Smithtown office, she's a dingbat for real. She gonna tell me none of her doctors are sick. So I preceding to call stony brook patient care lmbooo they all liars I swear. So I'm stuck with covid. He is a nasty old man that need to retire. I've been with stony brook for almost thirty years, and it don't pay to continue with them. People always talked bad about this hospital and I always took up for them. They did my children wrong also that's why when they became adults they found other doctors. I never thought I would be going elsewhere, however it's time to stop playing with my health. Dr. Samantha Feld is the worst also, I would never every have her touch my daughter again she will have your children having sex at an early age. She's lucky I'm not violent. So if you're going to join the stony brook team beware, don't say i didn't warn you. I love Dr. Liliana Tique she was there for a while, she is the only caring doctor I know from stony brook. I should have left years ago when my real doctor left and ask to come with her."

"I didn’t start out having bad experience. Dr. Gold was very friendly and helpful as was his PA. They did not wast my time or leave me waiting and got to the point very quickly. My at home sleep test was scheduled without delay and I got my results pretty quickly. The trouble started when it came time to get my CPAP machine. I was told the information was sent to the company that sells the machines and that I would be contacted by them. After waiting about two weeks, I called the CPAP company and was told they never received it. Now I don’t know who screwed up but it doesn’t really matter. I need the information resent. So I called the doctors office. Three times in the span of a a week trying to get them to resend the information. I’ve left three voicemails requesting they resend the info and call me back. They have yet to do either."

"My PCP doctor faxed over my referral to them, and the same day the stony Brook sleep disorder center called me to set up an appointment. They were booking out to July but I got lucky and got an appointment for a week later. I didn’t have to wait in the waiting room Long at all. Dr. Gold was great! He really explained everything in depth at my appointment. You have the option for either an in-patient study or an at-home study. They mail you the machine."
