Sleep Disorders Center

We can help diagnose and treat one of the most well-known and increasingly common sleep disorders, obstructive sleep apnea, or the collapse or blockage of the airways during sleep. In addition to sleep apnea, our diagnostic services cover many other sleep problems, including:

• insomnia
• narcolepsy
• restless leg syndrome
• excessive daytime sleepiness

After diagnosing what is causing your sleep trouble, our providers will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets your unique needs.

If you feel you are at risk for one of these conditions, please ask your physician to complete a referral form.    

Our board-certified sleep specialists will personally evaluate you for sleep/wake disorders. This evaluation includes:

• A complete medical history
• Sleep history
• Physical examination

During the course of your evaluation and/or treatment at the center, you may see various specialists, our nurse practitioner, a PSG/CPAP technician, or others. Each member of our team brings their own areas of training and expertise to ensure every patient receives the best possible care.

We will order sleep and laboratory testing or refer you to specialists as needed. Typical referrals are often to departments like:

• Behavioral medicine
• Cardiology
• Weight management
• Dentistry
• Otolaryngology (ENT)

Routine sleep tests, or polysomnography, include continuous monitoring of your: 

• Eye movement
• Brainwave activity
• Limb movements
• Respiratory rate
• Airflow
• Chest and abdominal respiratory effort
• Oxygen levels
• Heart rate and rhythm

Our physicians may want us to monitor other parameters also.

A complete evaluation typically includes one to two nights of sleep monitoring. Daytime testing may also be indicated.
