The Sleep Institute of Augusta: Bashir Chaudhary, MD

Chris Cornell

I’ve been trying to make an appointment for weeks. No one answers the phone nor returns my call.

Dr. Chaudhary did not listen to a word I said. I told him my problems getting used to a cpap machine in that I feel that I have to fight to breathe out and to see if I could switch to a bipap which has completely different settings for breathing in and out. He didn’t hear anything apparently because he immediately just said that he would set the cpap to the lowest breathe-out setting (4 in, 1 out). My machine has been set to that since maybe a month after getting it. I told him this, he pretty much said then he couldn’t help me and that it was all in my head. I’ve been talking about this frequently in therapy and have tried everything from wearing it during the day to duct taping my mask on at night so I don’t unconsciously take it off. It’s not in my head, it’s physical discomfort. He’s rude and blamed me for my inability to get used to it when the compliance rate for cpap is only 30-60% depending on the study. Go to literally anyone else.

Dr Chaudhary is very thorough and helpful. I feel so much better after getting a machine for sleep apnea.

I saw Dr. Chaudhary several years ago. Due to differences in opinion between us, I left his care. So glad I did because since leaving, I receive absolutely the best care and never looked back. Couldn't be happier.
