    The 'doctor' gave me an extremely short phone call to tell me I had sleep apnea and that I needed to come back so they could assess what level of oxygen would be needed and to fit c pap device. Really impersonal!

    Dr. Baxhija is AMAZING! Explained Sleep Apnea with several pictures showing how it occurs and how a CPAP would be beneficial. Offered the use of a machine temporarily so I could experience the benefits. I am truly impressed with his care and concern. Highly recommend him and hope that he will be able to come to Cottonwood more often

    Dr Baxhija is one of the most knowledgeable, caring, dynamic and enthusiastic physicians that I have ever had the pleasure of being treated by. Whoever brought him to the NAH family did everyone in the sleep apnea portion of NAH a huge service. He genuinely cares for his patients and demonstrates an enthusiasm that helps you to feel special and very important, I will recommend Dr. Baxhija and the NAH Sleep Center to everyone I meet who suffers with sleep apnea. It isn't an easy diagnosis to deal with and Dr. Baxhija goes miles in making it so mucn more tolerable.
