Not all sleep doctors are created equally. In fact, some locations that might seem to be sleep centers are actually just sleep testing sites with no sleep specialists on-site. The Insomnia and Sleep Institute of Arizona is staffed by sleep specialists who specialize in sleep medicine. Our sleep center has a member who has been voted Top Doc in Phoenix for the past six consecutive years. We provide unprecedented levels of staffing so you have access to not only sleep specialists but also a clinical psychologist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat insomnia, nurse practitioners who are trained in sleep medicine, respiratory therapists, and a physician assistant with a Masters in Sleep Medicine.
As the Face of Sleep Medicine in Arizona, you can find The Insomnia and Sleep Institute in various convenient locations including Gilbert, East Valley, and Scottsdale in the Greater Phoenix area. Your outcome-driven clinic starts with a correct diagnosis, which is why your consultation is only with sleep specialists who are able to diagnose sleep issues and disorders. Next, testing and treatment will help you get your sleep concerns under control. We offer a comprehensive suite of solutions so that you can be certain you are getting the best care from skilled experts.
What to Look for in a Sleep Doctor
There are many sleep testing sites around the country (and Arizona), but that is different than a sleep center where you will find MDs who focus on sleep medicine. Without a diagnosis first, there is no way to determine whether you should move onto testing or treatment. An incorrect diagnosis can be pointless at best and dangerous at worst. Even though some sleep disorders are relatively common, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and insomnia, that does not mean they are harmless. We need sleep not only to function our best, but also to maintain our health.
Sleep disorders and disruptions can negatively affect every facet of your health including physical, emotional, mental, and social. Poor quality sleep has been linked to a wide range of other disorders, and oftentimes improving your sleep can improve other health issues. The body is a holistic system, and if one part is not functioning correctly (such as getting the quality sleep you need) everything else will suffer.
Signs of a Great Sleep Doctor
Your sleep specialist should be board-certified and an expert in their field. That’s exactly what you’ll find at The Insomnia and Sleep Institute. Plus, the “Top Doc” title is indicative of how the doctor’s peers see this professional, as they are the one who vote. In other words, The Insomnia and Sleep Institute has held this title for six consecutive years, and every year other sleep experts vote on who they think is the best of the best. This is a great and easy way to determine who the highest quality sleep doctor is in the Phoenix area.
Another reason you should only see sleep experts at a sleep center (not sleep testing site) is because of access to more treatment options. For example, OSA is typically treated with CPAP therapy. This treatment works well for most people, and we will work with you to select the best mask, tubes, and machinery to suit your needs. However, in the rare situation where CPAP isn’t providing you the relief you deserve, you might be a good match for the Inspire implant.
Dr. Ruchir P. Patel is an expert on Inspire and gives presentations on the implant around the country. Not every clinic offers the Inspire implant and you deserve to have every option available. Although all patients must try CPAP therapy first, at The Insomnia and Sleep Institute you may have the option for the Inspire implant if CPAP fails.
