The practice has received recent reviews highlighting the effectiveness of their solutions. One patient noted that if snoring interferes with the bedmate’s sleep, seeking Dr. Chenin’s advice is highly recommended. He explained the process thoroughly and created a DynaFlex sleep device that virtually eliminated snoring, making it worth the appointment. Another patient described Dr. Chenin as amazing, with a wonderful beside manner and a deep caring attitude about getting sleep issues under control. Seeing him profoundly changed their life. A third patient shared that they contacted Dr. Chenin because their wife couldn't handle their snoring. From the start, he responded personally within 24 hours, arranged a home sleep test, and took care of everything. During the fitting, Dr. Chenin explained everything clearly and provided excellent care. After getting the oral appliance adjusted, they haven't snored since. Their wife initially thought they had died because of how quiet they were, and now they rely on the device to avoid feeling tired the next day. The patient appreciated Dr. Chenin’s outstanding customer service and the follow-ups at 6 months and 1 year to ensure everything was going well.
Dr Chenin has been a life changer for me. The oral appliance and his recommendation for an ENT to fix a deviated septum has changed my sleep. No more CPAP! He's very approachable and very responsive via email. As a bonus, his office is located in a great area to explore before or after the appointment. Highly recommend him to anyone.
The mouth piece made by Dr. Chenin allows me to sleep so much better - no more night waking. I also wake up more refreshed. The device itself is easy to maintain with all the detailed instructions provided by Dr. Chenin. No discomfort at all either. Highly recommend!!
Dr. Chenin is a gem. I emailed him to help me eliminate snoring during sleep. He asked to see any sleep study info I had and reviewed it for free before saying he'd be willing to take me on as a client. He suggested trying out over-the-counter devices (without charging me anything) to see if I'd tolerate them well before coming in. When I went in, he explained why a custom appliance might be best for me, and in two visits got me an appliance that eliminated 99% of my snoring. This has been life-changing for my partner's ability to sleep in the same bed -- and therefore life-changing for me.
I'd strongly recommend Dr. Chenin to anyone looking to deal with snoring...read full review
