“Mr. Sarb Dhesi came to us with excellent references when the Oakland Sleep Center was just a gleam in our eyes. He walked us through the process of setting up a sleep center – from beds to software and office practices.

In what seemed like very little time, we had opened our doors and were seeing our first patients. His continued oversight and advice have been invaluable. He’s proved to be a knowledgeable and talented consultant with a drive to succeed and the ability to solve problems as they arise. He’s also got a great sense of humor.”

Oakland Sleep Center

“We opened our first sleep center in North Florida in 2007 and this would not have been possible without the help and guidance of Mr. Sarb Dhesi. Mr. Dhesi worked with us in all aspects of preparation and opening of our sleep center. He and his team trained our staff, composed a policy and procedure manual, and offered direction in insurance contracting.

He was also able to leverage pricing of our diagnostic testing equipment from the manufacturer and save our company some much needed capital. Mr. Dhesi also set our location up with a web based software and scheduler that made our office run seamless. We have just opened our third lab in North Florida and each one has been based on the model that Mr. Dhesi and his team helped us to create. I would recommend Mr. Dhesi and his team for anyone who is opening a sleep disorder facility.”

“I have been working with Opus and Mr. Sarb Dhesi now for the last 4 years as Medical Director of some of the sleep centers that they have helped establish.

Their knowledge of the business of sleep medicine has provided substantial returns on investment. Their services are second to none, from beginning to end in establishing turnkey operations. Right off the bat, capital was saved since they leveraged pricing on diagnostic and computer equipment given the strong relationships they have established in the community.;

They also have a very strong understanding of insurance reimbursements, fee schedules and negotiate at every step with third party payors to ensure we are reimbursed at the highest levels, They also works very closely with billing, administrative and technical staff to train and then ensure operations are run smoothly and efficiently and every regulation and standard is met, which alleviates stress and allows day to day staff to focus on their job and perform at their best.

As a result, the sleep centers are very successful and reputable in the community given not only high business but also clinical standards, since the clinical staff including myself can focus on what we do best – taking care of patients and their sleep issues A to Z.

I will continue to work with Opus and would recommend their services to anyone, whether it comes to opening a sleep center, surgery center, buying a medical building and anything in between!”
