Anyone know of a sleep clinic, or specialist in the area?


Recommended Posts

I just checked into this myself.  A pulmonologist comes to the Quality Care clinic once a week.  He can order a sleep study.....they actually do it in your home.  Someone comes, hooks you up and returns in the morning.  The alternative is to go to Guad.  From what I am told, they do not have sleep centers there so you either have to go to a hospital or a hotel.

If you are enquiring about a sleep specialist for apnea only then go to the Pulmonologist. If it's for any other kind of sleep problem then you should be looking at seeing a Neurologist who specializes in sleep medicine for the brain (as opposed to the lungs) and find out if they can do a Polysomnogram (overnight) followed by the MSLT (multiple sleep latency test) the next day. There are strict rules to follow regarding medications in preparation for this test.

If for anything other than apnea, please do not waste your time or your health by seeing a Pulmonologist.
