Mark D. Reploeg, MD
Sleep Medicine
New patients by referral
“The longer one listens to a patient, often that’s where the solutions arise.”
A sleep medicine and neurophysiology specialist, Dr. Reploeg is the medical director of the Samaritan Sleep Medicine Program, which is supported by the providers at The Corvallis Clinic’s Sleep Medicine Department.
Dr. Reploeg treats a variety of sleep disorders for both adults and children, such as obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome.
Language(s) - English
Dr. Reploeg (pronounced Rep-Loag) first listens to the patient and tries not to jump to conclusions. “After we have an understanding of what we want to improve with respect to their sleep disorder,” he said, “we then work as a team.”
Originally wanting to be a neuroscientist, Dr. Reploeg realized he wanted more direct involvement in improving people’s lives. “There’s a lot of value in doing research,” he said, “but I enjoy helping people day to day. That’s where my interest in science merged into an interest in medicine and being able to work directly with patients.”
Dr. Reploeg especially enjoys practicing sleep medicine because he can help people usually without medications, employing physical or behavioral treatments. “And people get better from these conditions fairly quickly,” he said. “That’s a very satisfying part of what I do, because we can see improvements sometimes overnight.”
Dr. Reploeg, a Minnesota native, and his wife were attracted to the Pacific Northwest because of its climate and beauty. “Specifically, we were looking for a small town to raise our family,” he said. “We also enjoy having close proximity to the ocean and to mountains. Outdoor activities are how we spend our free time, such as skiing in the winter and biking and tennis in the summer. We have all those opportunities in the mid-valley.”
