During Your Visit
An initial appointment is scheduled
for 40 minutes. At this time one of our board-certified sleep physicians will review the questionnaires you completed, carefully go over your
medical history, and listen to your questions and concerns about your sleep and health.
Depending on your symptoms, you may be prescribed an overnight sleep study to measure the amount and quality of your sleep and to identify any abnormalities during sleep. Our receptionist will assist you in scheduling the study if needed. You are welcome to take a quick tour of the sleep center after your appointment to familiarize yourself with our clinic.
After Your Sleep Study
If you have a sleep study, the data collected during your overnight stay will be analyzed by a sleep specialist. Based on the results, treatment options and recommendations will be given to you, as well as your primary care provider. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to discuss the results and evaluate any treatment.
