Your Prioritized Care

 

Our technologists are registered respiratory therapists and board certified sleep technologists and our team of professionals are experienced in caring for pediatric sleep patients.

One-on-one care is provided for pediatric patients under the age of six. We provide a dedicated pediatric room and a family sleep room, so that parents have a place to relax while their child is at the sleep lab. The parents may also stay in the room with their child if they wish to do so.
