Best doctor I could have for my sleep apnea. Took the time to check all my detailed reports from elsewhere and examining me personally before deciding on the direction and steps to take for treatment.

After years of suffering, Dr Sajeer managed to address my sleep issues with exceptional care and understanding. Instead of relying on medication, he recommended sleep restriction therapy, which has been life-changing.
