Services
Sleep Apnea Testing
Our sleep apnea testing services provide accurate diagnosis through both at-home and in-lab options. Patients can complete consultations virtually or in-person, with test kits available by mail for home use. The process identifies sleep disorder severity using the Apnea-Hypopnea Index, enabling tailored treatment recommendations that address obstructive, central, or complex sleep apnea cases.
CPAP Therapy
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure therapy remains our primary treatment option for sleep apnea patients. This FDA-approved solution uses pressurized air to maintain open airways during sleep, effectively managing symptoms for many patients. Our team provides guidance on proper usage and troubleshooting to ensure treatment success while coordinating with insurance providers for equipment coverage.
Oral Device Therapy
Oral device therapy offers an FDA-approved alternative for sleep apnea treatment. Custom-fitted appliances reposition the jaw to maintain airway patency during sleep. These portable, durable solutions work well for patients seeking non-invasive options, with devices lasting 3-5 years when properly maintained. We coordinate care with specialized dental providers to ensure proper fitting and effectiveness.
Snoring Treatment
Our snoring treatment programs address both simple snoring and cases associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Through comprehensive sleep studies, we determine underlying causes and implement targeted interventions including oral device therapy. Treatment improves sleep quality for both patients and partners while reducing potential health complications associated with chronic snoring.
DOT Compliance
DOT compliance services support commercial drivers needing sleep apnea evaluation and treatment. We facilitate rapid testing and documentation to meet Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requirements, offering both CPAP and oral device therapy options that satisfy DOT treatment mandates. Our process helps drivers maintain their professional qualifications while addressing health concerns.

We work with insurance providers to maximize coverage benefits. Both at-home testing equipment and oral devices are often covered when prescribed by a provider.
