I recommend Dr. Abraham Ishaaya with emphasis! His office staff was Very kind, compassionate toward me especially the 2 Technicians whom oversaw my sleep study overnight observation.
I came into the office perplexed because of some home life serious situation and the technicians were patient with me and helped me to relax and calm down before the study began. Named Anna and Leo. My diagnosis was EXTREMELY accurate and sense the medication prescribed for me i began taking has worked better than anything i've ever tried and I've tried everything under the sun.
Dr.Ishaaya is sort spoken, very thorough which is why the sleep study is so vital to a proper diagnosis. Dr. Ishaaya has literally zero wait time while in the office and spends a good amount of time with we. He asks me questions I felt I needed to be asked and his bedside manner has show him to be almost impeccable when it comes to his patience he doesn't force medication on his patience! I admired that about him. Medication is his last resort.He has strong Ethics and Genuinely want to help people and understand how lack go sleep leads to depression. I am so thank to him and hoe quickly he assigned a follow up with me. Thank you Dr. Ishaaya. You're a blessing and helping me to I have been sleeping and having health problem for on of my professor is for sudent. He was do kind and secratary was delightful! I'm thsnkfor hm Dr. Ishaya . I am that'll to know what it wrong with me and the meds are working. Thank you

Wow I'm so happy I found this doctor. I'm a new patient and I was able to get an appointment with him the very next day! He addressed all my concerns, excellent bedside manner and his staff is very pleasant too.

Dr Ishaaya was very caring and professional. He listened to my concerns and together we came up with a treatment plan. He seems very accessable to his patients. He said to call with any concerns or changes in my condition. He let me know when to expect test results. His staff was so welcoming and friendly. Many of the tests I needed were done in the office on the spot which was so convienient for me. I was given the results shortly after they were done. Such a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Dr Ishaaya and his staff.

Wonderful staff- Junior always answers phones quickly with a friendly & welcoming voice. Darcy is an excellent MA, who immediately makes you feel at ease. I see Dr. Ishaaya for both sleep medicine and internal med. He is very professional, compassionate, and thoroughly explains all options. He is very easy to reach if I have questions outside of my appt. I appreciate that he is fully integrated w EHR, which streamlines the workflow of everything. He is excellent with follow-up on even the little things, like letting me know that he received my medical records from another physician. I am very happy with my Dr. Ishaaya, and strongly recommend him.

Dr. Ishaaya has been my pulmonolgist for approximately 12-14 years now. He's compassionate, caring, and brilliant in his choice field of medicine. I have such a great relationship with Dr. Ishaaya, he literally knows me better than I know myself. The staff in his office are very friendly, yet most importantly very professional, and over the years, I've come to develop a relationship with them as well. Dr. Ishaaya works in tandem with my cardiologist Dr. Daneshrad, and my primary care physician Dr. Vlad Nusinovich, which in my opinion constitutes my ELITE team of physicians which I wouldn't trade for all the money in the world..HONESTLY! Thank you Dr. Ishaaya for being such an intricate part of my life saving team Of Healthcare physicians. *smooches*
