Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
Karen and the staff are there to help you. They are focused on your issues and will work on getting the best results for you.

Karen is my c-pap coordinator. She also keeps track of my blood pressure. She is always so helpful and professional. I feel as if she really care about my health and answers all of my questions. I would recommend her highly to anyone with heart problems or sleep problems.

Karen Blakley was very professional and we learned more about sleep apnea from her in one visit than we had learned in the previous eight months.

Post a ResponseAre you Karen Blakley?
Karen dealt with me with kindness and understanding. She went through a rather long list of items carefully noting my answers and reactions. I felt she took a personal interest in my situation. After a careful review she said, "I will run this past the doctor before we have a plan." That gave me the assurance of a thorough assessment. Thanks for good care. Richard Ziehr

Karen Blakley has been absolutely wonderful to work with...she is amazing in the fact that she takes her time with you, when she asks YOU a question or opinion, she actually listens and offers options or agrees with you. She is understanding and compassionate. Her experience and expertise is reflected in how she approaches issues. Just very thankful that we made the connection and have her to work with on this CPAP journey.
