"Even before I entered the field of medicine, it was my personal mission to make a difference in people's lives. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work in a homeless shelter, as well as spend time in Africa providing humanitarian aid.

As I progressed through my medical education, I became aware of just how crucial sleep is to a person's physical and mental well-being. That is why I chose to pursue this profession. Being in sleep medicine gives me an opportunity to make a deep and positive impact in people’s lives."  — Dr. Richard L. Cho

In accordance with recommendations from Philips and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, we are advising patients to STOP using any affected Philips machine or device.

While waiting for your replacement unit, it is recommended that you sleep in an upright or semi-upright “recliner” position at night to reduce sleep apnea.
