The Expert in Your Corner
In 1995, Thomas founded one of America's first CPAP-exclusive durable medical equipment companies, serving thousands of patients across Southern California. He went on to open a sleep center, launch a home sleep testing company, and build deep relationships with sleep physicians, dentists, and ENT surgeons throughout the region.
CPAP remains the gold standard for treating obstructive sleep apnea, and it works incredibly well for many patients. But after decades of working with thousands of people, Thomas learned something important: the best treatment is the one you will actually use consistently. An unused treatment — no matter how effective on paper — helps no one.
That insight shaped everything Thomas does today. Rather than advocating for any single approach, he listens to each patient's situation and helps them find the path that fits their life — whether that means optimizing a CPAP setup, exploring a custom oral appliance, or connecting with a specialist for a different solution entirely.
“After 39 years in sleep medicine, the thing I know for certain is that the best treatment is the one you will actually use consistently. My job is to listen to your situation and point you in the right direction.”
How Thomas Works With You
Every patient's sleep apnea is different. Thomas takes a personal, case-by-case approach — starting with a phone call and ending with a clear plan tailored to your needs.
Personal Phone Consultation
Thomas takes every call himself. No scripts, no call centers — just a one-on-one conversation about your sleep, your concerns, and where you are in the process.
Case-by-Case Recommendations
Sometimes the answer is optimizing your current CPAP setup. Other times it's a custom oral appliance or a referral to a sleep surgeon. Thomas helps you find what fits your life.
Home Sleep Testing
Need a diagnosis or updated sleep study? Thomas arranges convenient home sleep testing — shipped directly to your door, completed in your own bed.
Vetted Provider Matching
After 39 years in the industry, Thomas knows the best specialists personally. He connects you with providers he trusts — not just the nearest name on a list.
