Services

  • Comprehensive evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders
  • Evaluation and treatment of excessive sleepiness
  • Couples studies: Wife and husband sleep in the same bed at the same time in our sleep laboratory. This allows us to quantify each individual’s sleep disorder(s) and the degree to which they interfere with each other’s sleep.
  • Desensitization therapy for CPAP compliance: We help our patients through a series of steps to help them adapt to CPAP use.
  • Follow-up management of CPAP therapy
  • Evaluation and management of insomnia
  • Nocturnal oximetry and sleep studies in hospital, facility, or home (if covered by insurance)
  • Treatment of restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movements in sleep
  • Treatment of shift work sleep disorders
  • Occupational sleep medicine: An untreated sleep disorder can be hazardous to drivers and pilots. Treatment translates to safety and productivity.

  • Referral for orthodontic appliances for sleep apnea
  • Nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG): This sleep study allows us to monitor many aspects of a patient’s sleep, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, leg movements, and eye movements.
  • CPAP titration: This study allows us to properly set CPAP to maintain a patient’s airway and breathing during sleep.
  • Combined night study (diagnosis and CPAP treatment of sleep apnea)
  • Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT): MSLT is a nap study used to evaluate patients who are thought to have narcolepsy.
  • Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT): The MWT may be used to evaluate how well a person with a sleep disorder is able to stay awake.
  • Sleep-related research
  • Bariatric and peri-operative sleep medicine: Diagnosis and successful treatment of a patient’s sleep disorder(s) improves surgical outcomes.
