Sleep Medicine
Physicians Board Certified in Sleep Medicine
Seven of our physicians are board certified in Sleep Medicine. If you are experiencing chronic sleep issues, you may require a sleep study. Our physicians evaluate you prior to the study, read and interpret the results of your study, and formulate a treatment plan with you after the interpretation is complete. Sleep studies are generally performed at a facility or in your home; our physicians can receive and interpret data from either venue.
Inspire Therapy
Obstructive sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder that affects 22 million Americans. When left untreated, it can lead to devastating effects on heart and brain health, impair quality of life and increase motor vehicle and occupational accident risk.
