East Valley Sleep Disorders Program
Banner Baywood Medical Center's Sleep Disorders Program has served the East Valley of the metro Phoenix, Ariz. area since 2001.
Our fully-accredited Sleep Disorders Program helps physicians recognize sleep disturbances including breathing, narcolepsy, insomnia, snoring, parasomnias and circadian-rhythm disorders.
The Sleep Disorders Program can diagnose and treat sleep-related disorders, including sleep apnea, excessive sleepiness, movement disorders, insomnia and other sleep/wake schedule problems.
Our staff consists of registered sleep technologists, who are specially trained in sleep-monitoring techniques, and physicians, who are board-certified in sleep medicine. Specialty consultants with certification in pulmonary diseases, neurology and psychology also are available to assist in diagnosis and treatment.
What to expect
Patients are usually referred to the sleep disorders program by their primary care physician. Once your evaluation is scheduled, you receive a letter confirming the test date, explaining pretest preparations and the test itself, and other special instructions.
All sleep testing is performed as close to the patient's normal sleep time as possible. Research has shown that tests performed during the daytime do not produce the same results as night-time testing because the patient's sleep pattern and depth are not adequate during these hours.
Our experienced staff can determine therapy needs while the patient is in the sleep center. Patients exhibiting moderate to severe sleep apnea symptoms can be treated the same night of the diagnostic study, eliminating the need for additional testing and costs.

The staff is extremely proud of this distinction. Banner Baywood Medical Center's Sleep Disorders Program is the only certified sleep center in the East Valley.
