Sleep Medicine

Expert Care for People with Sleep Disorders

Specially trained Wellstar physicians diagnose and treat people with sleep disorders, helping them get restful sleep and address related health concerns. Our dedicated sleep specialists are with you through every step of your sleep evaluation, from the initial exam to comprehensive testing and follow-up care.

Advanced testing & sleep studies

We start with advanced testing to get to the bottom of your sleep problem. Testing may include a non-invasive, at-home monitoring device or a sleep study conducted overnight in an accredited Wellstar Sleep Center with comfortable, hotel-like rooms. During an overnight sleep study, patients spend the night in a relaxing, comfortable setting. A sleep study measures brain waves, movement, breathing, oxygen heart rate and many other body signals.

Multidisciplinary sleep disorder care

Our sleep doctors often collaborate with ear, nose and throat condition specialists — who perform sleep condition surgery — pediatricians, cardiologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and others to evaluate and treat your condition. Underlying conditions may include obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, narcolepsy, severe daytime sleepiness, restless legs syndrome, heart disease or obesity. Our expert team is experienced and here to help you get you the quality sleep you need.

Who we treat

Our sleep specialists diagnose and care for adults and children 14 years and older. Children under 14 can be referred directly by their pediatrician or more commonly by an ENT doctor for testing. Learn more about pediatric sleep disorder treatment at Wellstar.
