Sleep Medicine Center, MedPark Hospital offers comprehensive services encompassing diagnosis, consultation, therapy, and treatment for various sleep-related conditions. These include but are not limited to insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, sleep disorders, as well as daytime issues such as narcolepsy and excessive daytime drowsiness.
Daytime behavior and nighttime sleep are intricately linked, each reciprocally influencing the other. Inadequate sleep can have a detrimental impact on daytime performance and overall well-being, leading to impaired memory, elevated blood pressure, and increased risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, cardiac arrhythmias, and depression. These cumulative health complications can even prove fatal.
At the Sleep Medicine Center of MedPark Hospital, we offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. Our team of sleep specialists, medical experts from various disciplines, and experienced healthcare professionals work together to provide personalized care and ensure that our patients receive the highest quality treatment, thorough information, and detailed guidance on post-treatment self-care.
