SLEEP WAKE CENTER
I loved that he fully explained everything so that I could understand it and the time he took to do it wasn't so long and over drawn nor so short that I felt cut off.. the way he explained it in the perfect time frame. I also love the knowledge he has in his field, makes me feel confident I'm in good hands. There is only one thing that left me not knowing what to do that he didn't have an answer for on my particular situation, so I was kinda left hanging on that. However, he did give info on what is best, just it didn't help much for my situation. Overall though I love this Doctor and I'm super happy I'm in his care.

Dr. Farney is top notch!! Most impressive! Initially my intentions were to decline the opportunity to have this sleep study accomplished, however, I am very happy I had it. The degree of professionalism and expertise that he and his assistant displayed were extraordinary. Much more so than my experience at another sleep study location a couple years ago.

Dr Lynn was extremely knowledgeable, professional and best of all was not pretentious. I was so impressed by how interested and thorough he was with my health during our visit. He took his time and was very thorough, I never felt rushed. I was also extremely impressed with the fact that I logged into MyChart and within 1 day (if not the same day) he had a thorough write-up on our visit in MyChart. Dr Lynn superseded my expectations. I will DEFINITELY recommend him to friends and family!!
UofU Patient

I had a few more things I wanted to discuss, however, that would understandably take too much time. Maybe it would be advantageous to do appointments twice a year.
