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.

Patient Stories

"My experience with Dr. Yao was GREAT. I had previously been to this location where I saw another doctor. The care, attention to detail, the interest in my previous medical history to help figure out how to best address the issue I came in for was top notch from Dr. Yao and a complete different experience from the other doctor I had saw there only 4 days prior. I think that is so important to point out, feeling comfortable and that your doctor is actually listening to understand and help, and not just get the next patient in the room. Not 5 stars mainly because some of the receptionist or lackadaisical and unprofessional. But luckily, the doctors audiologist and medical assistance who have my care in their hand make up for that."

"Great place and friendly staff. The technicians are knowledgeable and professional - always remembering what my son prefers wrt his allergy shots. It’s been over three years that we have been coming into the office. My only quip is that the early AM appts move slightly slower than the late afternoon appts. Given that I need to get my son to school immediately after the AM appts- recently, I have found it slightly more challenging to do so."
