After Pre-Screeening, if patient found to have Sleep Apnea symptoms, we recommend sleep test to find out the severity of sleep apnea. Sleep test is done at patient's home while sleeping. We provide special instrument for patient to collect sleep data at home. The instrument is then brought back to our office.
