When you’re having trouble getting the quality sleep you deserve, you only want to work with the best—and that’s pretty easy to distinguish in Arizona. Phoenix Magazine once again ranked The Insomnia and Sleep Institute of Arizona’s Dr. Ruchir P. Patel as the “Top Doctor” for 2021, following his wins in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016. The “top doc” designation is selected by peers, which means fellow sleep specialists consider Dr. Patel the leading expert in the region. However, this designation isn’t limited to “just” Arizona, where our facility is proud to serve as the Face of Sleep Medicine in Phoenix. Patients come from around the country and world to be treated at this state-of-the-art facility where every initial consultation is with a sleep specialist who can diagnose sleep disorders.
We treat children as young as two as well as adults at The Insomnia and Sleep Institute. With unprecedented levels of staffing, including three clinical psychologists, we set the standard for sleep medicine in Arizona. In the coverage for Dr. Patel’s sixth win as “top doc,” Phoenix Magazine highlights how he struggled with his own insomnia for three years, which led to a formal fellowship training in Sleep Disorder Medicine at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Detailing how Dr. Patel prioritizes the right diagnosis and treatment for every type of sleep disorder, Phoenix outlines exactly what it takes to be a leading sleep disorder institution.
Finding the Right Sleep Doctor for You
One of the biggest and first hurdles many with a sleep disorder face is simply being able to see a sleep specialist. In many cases, a referral from a GP is needed, but that’s not the case at The Insomnia and Sleep Institute. You can schedule your consultation with a sleep specialist today without a referral (and all major insurances are accepted at The Insomnia and Sleep Institute). Whether you are looking for a pediatric sleep specialist for your child, a facility that works with implants to manage obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), or are concerned about a lesser-known sleep disorder, you can rest assured that at The Insomnia and Sleep Institute we have the experts and tools to help you on your sleep journey.
However, seeing a sleep specialist is just the start of the battle for many. There is also confusion over a sleep clinic vs. a sleep doctor and a myriad of other terms. Many facilities are strictly sleep labs where testing is performed. A sleep doctor might refer you to one of these sites for testing, but sleep specialists are rarely on site at these locations. If you or your child is struggling with lack of quality sleep, you don’t have time to go from one clinic to another. The Insomnia and Sleep Institute is home to leading sleep specialists where you can get diagnoses, testing, and treatment.
Which Sleep Doctor is for You?
Phoenix Magazine made it pretty simple to pinpoint the best sleep clinic in Phoenix. However, if you’d like to do a little more research before booking your consultation, third-party reviews and going over a sleep expert’s background and training provides fantastic insight. Even though the magazine’s ranking serves as a review in its own right, take a look at testimonials written about the sleep experts you’re considering. What do their patients have to say about them?
It’s also important to consider who the specialists are at various clinics and what their backgrounds entail. Where did they do their fellowships and internships? What are their specialties? What are their board certifications? All of these details will help guide you in finding the best sleep expert to help you with your sleep concerns. You also want to make sure they have access to the latest technology, such as the Inspire implants. This is just one example of an innovative approach to managing sleep disorders and is an option for some who do not find success with CPAP therapy for OSA.
Are you ready to reclaim your sleep? Numerous studies have shown that poor sleep is linked to early death and a host of co-morbidities. Good sleep means good health. Schedule your consultation with a sleep specialist at The Insomnia and Sleep Institute by either calling the office or—for the fastest response—simply complete the online form.
