I’ve been seeing Dr. Hagaman for 8 years and she is great. She listens to you and recommends what is the best for your situation. Susan in her office is equally great and works to do whatever she can for you.

I was diagnosed for Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia when I was in my earlly 30's and as a nurse going to a Doctor I trusted at that time, I believed him. Almost 34 years later an allergy doctor asked me if i had fatigue and my answer was " all the time". When he said don't you think it's time I knew he was talking about sleep apnea, and I said -I guess so. That is where my story really begins I was tested and when Dr. Martha Hagaman told me I had sleep apnea , I was blown away - I couldn't believe it ! I started sleeping with my CPAP machine and immediately the fatigue started leaving. I feel like I wasted 35 years of my life by not getting tested for sleep apnea because there is no comparison to having energy after all these years and not feeling like i'm trying to sleep my life away. In the first year I have made an incredible recovery from the years of fatigue. I never leave home without my Cpap machine- when traveling and i never will. Dr Martha Hagaman is a Doctor who really cares about making a difference in your life - as she has mine!

I recently moved to TN and was apprehensive about the level of care I’ll receive being in a new state. I am so happy to be writing this review to say that I am VERY impressed and grateful with the quality of care I received from Dr. Hagaman and her staff!!! This process has been an emotional journey for me and everyone their made it an easier road to travel. To Susan, Wes, Amanda, Nicole, and there were two others (I can’t remember their names! Ugh) thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart for being kind, caring, and thoughtful towards me. God bless you all.
