To say the least, Dr. Agarwal takes his time to get to know you, and provides guidance every step of the way. At some doctors', you pay for a quick chit chat and leave without a clue what to do next. With Dr. Agarwal, he takes actions to ensure you get better as quickly as possible. Oh, and it helps that him and his staff got a great sense of humor.
Otherwise it would just be another boring doctor visit. Excellent and efficient staff. Very comfortable sleep study rooms and warm technicians. Doc is friendly, has a good sense of humor, and wants to see success. A very gentle and non-judgmental atmosphere, especially as someone who is overweight and struggling to lose weight.

I've been a patient of Dr. Agarwal for years. I find him to be incredibly kind and professional. He always leaves time at the end of our appointments to answer questions, and gives an explanation that is easily digestible. I credit him with improving my sleep-quality (I'm no longer a walking zombie!!). Highly recommend.

Nothing "vengeful", just facts:
I still have the doctor's voicemail apologizing and blaming the no show on patients.
I still have my log history showing the Zoom wait time, and real # of call attempts made.
Highly suggest web searching the doctor by his full name vs business name paints a different picture.
Best of luck to everyone in finding a good doctor.

1st appointment (1 hr late) ==> 2nd appointment by Zoom (no show) ==> 3rd appointment by Phone (no show again).
Billed for 1 appointment, 2 tests, totaling 3 charges with 0 follow-up.
The doctor left a voicemail "apologizing" for his no shows while blaming that his patients often ask a lot of questions and he just can't get them to "SHUT UP".
There's a reason his schedule seems so available compared to other pulmonologists/sleep doctors.
Would it be possible that the doctor jam packs his schedule and treats patients as dollar signs?
He left me feeling like a transaction, not a patient.

Meeting Dr Agarwal was a blessing. i visited him to check on my sleep apnea, pulmonology tests and get guidance on a few other health problems i faced. He goes the extra mile to build rapport, have an engaging conversation, share reference materials that would help in gaining more knowledge about my sickness, show diagrams or videos to further explain the diagnosis and does a thorough job. I am very pleased with his service and with the way i was treated being a new patient with him. His staff is well mannered, patient and most importantly treats everyone with respect. A special call out for Hayley

I had good experience in consulting Dr. Sanjay. He is very knowledgeable in dealing with sleep apnea. The home test study kit is bulky and is hard to use but the on site sleep study is very well done. It took a while to get CPAP machine but with that machine, sleep quality improved a lot and sleep apnea is getting better.

It is indeed a privilege for me to write a review for Dr. Sanjay Agarwal. I have had sleep problems for many years. Dr. Agarwal, quickly diagnosed my condition to be sleep apnea and prescribed the right CPAP equipment and settings.
He is very knowledgeable, professional and crisp in his communication and I was able to understand his explanation and instructions clearly.
Within just a month of following his sleep related instructions and using CPAP, I am now getting a good night's rest and am waking up feeling very refreshed. I am also not sleepy during the day, This is a significant change

Dr. Sanjay Agarwal is an amazing doctor. He is my favorite doctor. Why? Because he is truly a warm, friendly, and caring person. Always goes above and beyond to help his patients. I came to Dr. Agarwal suffering from a persistent dry cough. He immediately diagnosed me as having chronic Sleep Apnea. I was skeptical that my dry cough would be related to Sleep Apnea but to my surprise my cough and other minor symptoms related to having chronic Sleep Apnea all virtually disappeared after I started using my prescribed CPAP machine. My whole life and health has dramatically improved ever since and I

Dr Aggarwal really helped my mother. She was having severe breathing issues and he slowly worked with her in resolving the multiple issues she was having. It was like peeling an onion, and he patiently worked with her. He talked to her directly, and gained her confidence which helped her a lot in adapting to the treatment plan.
The office staff is also good. I have had good experience with scheduling appointments and access to any other information I need.
I will recommend Dr Sanjay Aggarwal to anybody looking for a pulmonologist.

Dr Agarwal is a lifesaver. The office is located on a big 2 story building off of Montague before it turns into Landess. The office is on the second floor, I usually take the stairs but there is an elevator available if there is any mobility issue, which is convenient. The office is towards the back and waiting room is a little small. The staff is very busy but will acknowledge you promptly which I appreciate if I have to wait.. luckily the wait wasn't long.The staff are friendly and are great at answering any questions I have regarding appointments and seem to do a thorough job with gathering

This group is willing to work with people and is compassionate. They worked out a payment for me when my insurance was canceled to help me out and I really appreciate their care. I was able to find out what has been the issue with my sleep and blood oxygen levels dropping at night and am confident that the plan moving forward will improve my overall quality of life. Thanks Dr. Agarwal for helping where you could. I was able to see another specialist in San Francisco based on Dr. Argarwal's recommendations to see an ENT. Now, I am also working with a doctor whose passion is also to help, out of

Quite possibly the most useless and incompetent "specialist" I've ever visited. Firstly, I had an appointment for 2PM and this fellow shows up at 3:10PM, making me wait for a whole hour. There's no apology and comes in with an extremely condescending attitude.
I explain my delayed sleep phase issues and things I've tried. After about 10 mins, he tells me to "try and sleep earlier and wake up at the same time" and suggests a bunch of things that I already explained to him that I do e.g. melatonin and light therapy.
He then proceeds to prescribe an SSRI for no

I was looking to validate whether I have sleep apnea and what I could do about it. After looking around the East/South Bay for a reputable sleep doctor with my insurance, I landed on Dr. Agarwal.
Despite finding out that I do indeed have sleep apnea, Dr. Agarwal (and his staff) has made it a lot easier for me to deal with this condition. He guided me through the whole process, from doing an at-home sleep study, consulting with a CPAP vendor, coaching me on best practices for therapy, and now, following up regularly on my sleep data that my machine collects.

If you came in with lung cancer you'll come out with an order for a sleep study. Fact is, these pulmonologist make a ton of money doing sleep studies for diagnosing "sleep apnea". Dr. Argawal has no choice but to conform to these industry standards or else his office won't make any money and eventually will have to close down.
If you have sleep apnea or think that you do, then by all means you should come here.
Look elsewhere for life threatening lung issues.

Dr. Sanjay Agarwal is excellent with his diagnosis. His diagnosis an year back for me was very accurate and I should say I learnt how to deal with it. I took my husband in today for an issue he is suffering from 2 years, which many doctors didn't care about. We are happy and confident with Dr. Sanjay Agarwal's explanation and are hopeful that my husband will be fixed soon. Will update my review once his treatment makes some progress / ends. Having seen a lot of doctors here in US (even with a very good insurance policy at hand), it is really difficult to find a great doctor who listens

This is a followup to my earlier review since there are 2 major treatments I received from Dr. Agarwal and Dr. Lal since my last review both to address my sleep apnea and improve breathing. First Dr. Agarwal provided excellent and efficient/fast treatment to get me a CPAP machine and get started with treatment and secondly in parallel Dr. Lal performed successful surgery to trim my nasal turbinates and straighten my deviated septum to improve breathing. Both are complete and am very happy with the treatments as well as the attention and care received not only from both super duper doctors but also

As an Indian I was expecting more from Dr. Agarwal. My first impression of him came off as very arrogant. My grandmother was his patient and she had just came off a bought of pneumonia. He seemed to care less about that and more about her choice in primary care provider. Said I should choose his friend instead of the one I already had. On top of that he yelled at his employees and threatened to fire them in front of patients. Will NOT be back.
