Another patient described Dr. Chenin as amazing, with a wonderful beside manner and a deep caring attitude about getting sleep issues under control. Seeing him profoundly changed their life.

During the fitting, Dr. Chenin explained everything clearly and provided excellent care. After getting the oral appliance adjusted, they haven't snored since.

The patient appreciated Dr. Chenin’s outstanding customer service and the follow-ups at 6 months and 1 year to ensure everything was going well.
I have encountered maybe 3 doctors in my life who represent the epitome of the profession. Dr. Chenin is one of them. He thinks holistically, legitimately cares about you as a person, and isn't here just to sell you and get you out the door. He's also just a really personable human.
He has been indispensable in my treatment plan for sleep apnea and I am SO grateful I found him. Look around at these reviews...how often do you see a doctor with this high of a rating?
Dr. Chenin is an excellent sleep orthodontist. He facilitated my at-home sleep study and provided clear guidance through my sleep apnea diagnosis. I was particularly impressed by how helpful he was with the insurance side of things—he really fought to make sure I got the top-tier treatment I needed. The Marina office is great, and the whole experience was stress-free. Highly recommend!
Going to Dr. Chenin has been life changing for me. I was referred to him for sleep apnea issues. I tried the CPAP and despised it so I went to Dr Chenin for the custom oral appliance. Best decision ever. Dr Chenin is kind, professional & very helpful. And most importantly, I'm sleeping better than I ever have. So grateful! Highly recommend Dr Chenin.
