Sleeping well has numerous positive impacts on our physical, emotional, and social well-being. When we’re dealing with a sleep disorder that's preventing us from getting quality rest our bodies need, it can be frustrating and overwhelming. Fortunately, home sleep testing offers an accessible way to diagnose potential issues while providing peace of mind in the safety and comfort of your own home. By inviting you to take charge of your health journey, this easy-to-use test provides reliable data to inform diagnosis so our medical professionals can create better treatment plans more quickly.
Home Sleep testing is a viable diagnostic study done in your own bedroom that monitors your breathing, heart rate, blood oxygen level, and other information about your body while you are sleeping. Home sleep apnea testing is used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea.
A physician may recommend home sleep apnea testing if:
- It is highly likely that you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea
- You have no significant medical conditions other than the suspected obstructive sleep apnea
You should not have a home sleep apnea test if:
- The physician suspects you may have another sleep disorder
- You have certain medical conditions including pulmonary diseases, neuromuscular diseases, or congestive heart failure.

"Receptionist was friendly and spoke clearly. Even took time to interact with a four year old about his Spider-man shirt and stuffed doll. - Your waiting area was not manic. It did not feel like a gin mill. ‘Get ‘em in, get ‘em old.’ - Dr. Pazos was excellent. Took his time to explain the ear canal & why my ears could be clogging. Took his time to speak to me. See above bullet point #2. - Gave me a home remedy as preventive medicine So, I did not feel like he needed me to keep coming back, that he had to make a quota of number of patients in a day. - I felt he gave my ear a total cleaning. Did not leave any wax to make sure I had to come back to meet a quota. - I will be back to see Dr. Pazos when my ear clogs up again."
