Services

MDsleep wants to educate and help the community restore a normal sleep pattern and know that we can do this service. Our facility wants this type of testing to be an enjoyable experience and not stressful for the patient. The biggest goal is to treat each and every patient as if it were our loved one. Our patients by the end of this experience will have the knowledge and resources to address their personal diagnoses. These patients will be able to take back control of their life along with their health. Finally, they will be able to rest again.

MDsleep provides a service which is known as a PSG, or polysomnography test.  This test is ordered by a physician and used to diagnose a patient with a sleep disorder.  A sleep disorder is a medical disorder of the sleep patterns of a person, and it is serious enough to affect normal physical, mental, and emotional function.  Most people think of  OSA or obstructive sleep disorder as one of the main disorders; however there are over one 90 different types of sleep disorders.  A study is conducted when a sleep technician places leads in varies areas and records brain activity, eye movement, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and body movement.  That data is analyzed and a conclusion is determined from there.  If the patient is positive, a second study will be conducted, which is called a titration study.

Our facility also provides equipment for the patient if the insurance company wants home testing done first. We contact the patient and set-up a time that works to arrange for a single night of testing. The unit is patient friendly and has a less than 1% failure rate.  The same day it is returned to MDsleep, it will be downloaded and the patient will be given feedback from the night the study took place.
