What we do

Personalized sleep care for every age

We evaluate and treat the full spectrum of sleep disorders, tailoring care to your symptoms, health needs and goals.

☾

Comprehensive Evaluation

Expert assessment for snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, daytime sleepiness, restless legs, parasomnias and other sleep concerns.

⌂

Convenient Testing

Home sleep apnea testing, including WatchPAT when clinically appropriate, shipped directly to you. In-lab studies are coordinated through referral.

♡

Ongoing Treatment

Individualized treatment plans, PAP therapy support, insomnia treatment options, patient education and follow-up care.

Home sleep testing

Sleep testing in the comfort of your own home

When home testing is appropriate, we can arrange an easy-to-use WatchPAT home sleep study—without a trip to a sleep lab.

  • Equipment shipped directly to your home
  • Sleep in your own bed, on your schedule
  • Convenient, non-invasive testing
  • Physician-guided interpretation and next steps

Home sleep apnea testing is not suitable for every patient or every sleep disorder. Your physician will determine the right study for you.

Advanced testing options

In-lab testing when needed

Some sleep concerns require more detailed overnight monitoring, such as polysomnography. When indicated, in-lab testing is arranged through referral to an outside sleep facility.

Our goal is to match the testing approach to your clinical needs—not to make every patient follow the same path.
