    Amazing customer service!! I was originally using a trial from another place, got in touch with Northern Respiratory, I was on their list and fitted with a new mask and machine before the others place even bothered to rerun my call! I have changed out my mask 2 or 3 times now( I can’t remember) and all of that was covered in their services. They aim to make sure you are comfortable , so you are having your best sleep! Would recommend them hands down!

    From my first phone call to book an initial appointment through all the follow-up calls and in person appointments, the staff has been friendly, informative and supportive. I 100% recommend Northern Respiratory.

    We are more than happy with Northern Respiratory! Steve and his staff are very accommodating, knowledgeable and professional. We had been dealing with another facility and weren’t very happy and then heard of this office which is locally owned and wanted to support a local business. The office is always clean and welcoming. Staff is also very patient. 😉 Thanks to them for their dedication and awesome service!

    Excellent product knowledge & customer service. My therapist, Rochelle, worked through personal preferences & issues until everything worked, including trying various mask options which wasn’t easy since I have facial palsy. Front-line customer service was beyond excellent. Thank you all, especially Rochelle & Steve!

    Rachelle and Steve provide superior customer care. During these COVID times I was allowed to enter the store and obtain my new device. Rachelle was very thorough through the process which made me confident that I bought my device from the right place. Not only my new device will provide me information about my sleep but she will have access to make any changes by a phone call away. That is service! In addition, the store is well stocked with supplies at very great prices. This is one local place that I will continue to support for many years!

    Oxygen Therapy

    Lung disease and chronic lung conditions can interfere with your body’s ability to extract oxygen from the air. Oxygen therapy is designed to more effectively deliver air to your lungs, relieving some of the effects of labored breathing. There are many reasons why your doctor may have prescribed oxygen therapy. These include:

    • Obstructive lung diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
    • Restrictive lung diseases such as Pulmonary Fibrosis
    • Part of overall treatment of various cancers
    • Relief for temporary conditions such as Pneumonia
    • Some cardiac-related illnesses

    CPAP

    Sleep Apnea isn’t just about snoring or getting a good night’s sleep. It’s a serious medical disorder that, left untreated, increases your risk of chronic, life-threatening diseases.

    How is Sleep Apnea treated?

    Sleep Apnea can be treated with a CPAP machine. CPAP is an acronym for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.

    If you think you may suffer from sleep apnea, make an appointment to be evaluated and see if you need a sleep test.
