I love Dr Sepulveda and his staff! They are kind, caring and take the time I need to explain my sleep therapy to me. I am not a cooperative patient, but I was encouraged and guided without judgement. I also love that we can joke around! Oh, and they are forgiving when I mix up my  appointments times, oops!

For years I suffered with the embarrassment and guilt of being a severe snorer. Of course, I slept, while others were kept awake. After a safari trip to Africa in 2018, my travel partner refused to travel again with me until I sought attention for the snoring.
Lucky for me, my cardiologist recommended Rafael Sepulveda, M.D., who specializes in Sleep Medicine in Marin County. Dr Sepulveda carefully explained each step of the diagnostic study and subsequent treatment. He and the staff at Pulmonary and Sleep Associates of Marin are friendly, knowledgeable, always helpful and a delight to encounter. Thanks to Dr Sepulveda, I sleep through the night and have learned to embrace the treatment for my severe obstructive sleep apnea. I am confident in my treatment plan under his care and professional expertise, and I am looking forward to future travel with less less sleep disruption and improvement in my health.

I am grateful to Dr Sepulveda and the staff in his office for all the great care they have given me since I started seeing him for treatment of my sleep apnea. He and his staff are always so gracious and helpful.  I am very happy indeed to have Dr Sepulveda as my sleep doctor. Thank you Dr Sepulveda. I can't thank you and your staff enough!

I could not appreciate Dr Soto more! Dr Soto helped diagnose my extremely rare medical condition and has worked with me to refine a course of action that allows me to live a normal and healthy life. I've been Dr Soto's patient for over 5 years now, and I've never had better personal care. Not only is she extraordinarily responsive through the patient portal, she has the best bedside manner I've ever seen. When we meet in person, she makes me feel like I am the most important patient she has. She is always caring, personable, competent and never makes me feel rushed. She always delivers a personal plan, and best next steps following every appointment. She has my highest recommendation.

I first came to see Dr Soto in 2009 seeking a diagnosis and treatment for shortness of breath and a persistent cough. From our first meeting Dr Soto was extremely attentive, intelligent, competent and caring. After thorough testing, she referred me to a doctor at the ILD clinic at UCSF who confirmed her suspicions that I had a somewhat rare interstitial lung disease. Over these past 11 years Dr Soto has been a constant in my treatment and care. She has worked closely with the team at UCSF, and her connections to doctors there have made it much easier for me to cope with this progressive disease. Visits to her office are always a pleasure and never hurried. She truly cares about her patients and makes every effort to stay up to date on all the latest treatments. She has been easy to contact either through her office staff, via her website or by phone.
I referred several people to her office for various pulmonary and sleep issues and all have been very satisfied.
I highly recommend Dr Soto for anyone needing pulmonary care but especially for people needing a complex diagnosis. I cannot thank her enough for her care through these years and I look forward to working with her for many more!

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 1998. I struggled with my CPAP therapy for several months and was unable to get any help from a specialist that my insurance would cover. I was very frustrated and this led me to give up on the treatment and pretend I no longer had sleep apnea. About 20 years later, I researched and found Dr Sepulveda in Novato. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt a sense of calm serenity and healing energy. I was then re-tested and diagnosed with a more complex type of sleep apnea. Since that first visit, everyone in the staff was so helpful and present for my medical needs. From the moment I met Dr Sepulveda, I felt confidence in him and secure with him. His knowledge, patience, compassion and perseverance to work with me have been healing for me on many levels. After trying several adjustments, Dr Sepulveda brought me to a place where I am now consistently getting relief from sleep apnea during my sleep. I want to applaud Alex and the office staff who are always available by phone and in person to answer my questions, adjust my equipment and support me in times of distress. I will always be grateful to have Dr Sepulveda as my healer.

Simply put, Dr Soto and her staff are outstanding! With both sleep apnea and COPD, I have rarely had a physician (and unfortunately, I've had many) who demonstrates such knowledge and compassion as Dr Soto. She is exceptionally thorough in her approach and takes the time necessary to clearly explain each given situation and her recommended treatment.

Today, thanks to Dr Soto, I still have two lungs. Following a lung biopsy, that was negative, the hospital's surgeon wanted to immediately remove one of my lungs. Dr Soto disagreed and intervened. Indeed, as she correctly diagnosed, I didn't have cancer but rather a rare infection!!!

A special thanks to support staff members Alex and Tristan with whom I have interfaced the most. That said, the entire team has always been pleasant, attentive and efficient. I highly recommend Pulmonary and Sleep Associates of Marin to anyone seeking expert advice and care for sleep or pulmonary disorders

I have been a patient of Dr Soto and Pulmonary and Sleep Associates of Marin since 2014. I first went to see her through a referral when I was experiencing difficulty breathing. She diagnosed me with Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. I had gotten very sick and credit Dr Soto for saving my life. I was placed on medication protocol and eventually got better and have been able to return to a good life. At the time I was living in Marin and now live in Nevada. I still see Dr Soto for I believe in her skills and find her office to be exceptional. Everyone there and specially Alex have always met my needs. The office has guided and assisted me in getting me any equipment I have needed. When I have traveled from Nevada to see Dr Soto, she has always arranged her schedule to fit my travels. You don't find that very often with health care professionals. Through their portal communication I have been able to view my chart and communicate with the staff and Dr Soto when needed. She also diagnosed me with sleep apnea and has treated me for that, leading to even better health. I really can't say enough about Dr Soto and her practice.

Dr Sepulveda and the team at Marin Pulmonary Sleep saved my life! Day by day, I was getting closer to a heart attack or stroke from severe sleep apnea. I had lost hours of sleep, waking up several times per night. My blood pressure was out of control and I was always irritable. But after working with Dr Sepulveda and the team for the right machine, settings and mask, my life VASTLY improved. Thank you all so much for your dedication to helping people LIVE !

I wanted to say that of all the specialists that I took my mother to see (and there were a lot of them), Dr Massoumi really stood out as someone that is perfectly suited to be a physician. He, like his colleagues, are experts in their field, but his bedside manner is unmatched. Clearly, he has an enormous heart and deep compassion for those under his care. I'm really happy that people like him become doctors.

As a long-time patient of Dr Soto, I am pleased to recommend her practice for patients seeking the best care for pulmonary issues. Dr Soto is a caring, very competent practitioner. Appointments with her are very thorough. I never feel rushed and Dr Soto takes time to listen and answer questions in a thoughtful manner. In between appointments, she will check up to make sure everything is OK. She processes medications promptly and is always available if there is a problem. A shout out of thanks to her support staff, Tristan and Alex. They followup when messages are left and have great, caring personalities. Visiting Dr Soto's office feels like family. Highly recommend it!

It took me a week to notice improvements to my health, a month to get used to sleeping with the mask and now after 4 years, I’ve gained many, many more active years to my life. Thank You,  Dr Soto.
