Question 1

What is a sleep study and what should I expect?

Accepted Answer

A sleep study (polysomnogram) records your breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, brain activity and movement while you sleep, so we can diagnose what is disrupting your rest. It can be done in our lab or, for many cases of suspected sleep apnea, with a convenient at-home test. The sensors are painless, and a sleep physician reviews the results and your treatment options with you.

Question 2

What is the process of evaluation and treatment?

Accepted Answer

Care begins with a consultation to review your symptoms and history. If indicated, we arrange an in-lab or at-home sleep study. A sleep physician interprets the results, and we build a personalized treatment plan that may include CPAP, BiPAP, oral appliance therapy, lifestyle changes, or advanced options such as Inspire therapy, with ongoing follow-up.

Question 3

Do you offer telehealth or virtual visits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many consultations and follow-up visits can be completed by telehealth for your convenience. Sleep studies that require monitoring are performed in our lab or with an at-home testing device.

Question 4

Do you evaluate pediatric patients?

Yes. Metro Sleep Center evaluates and treats pediatric patients ages 3 and older for sleep apnea, snoring, and other sleep disorders.
