About our program
The fully accredited sleep disorders program offered at Banner Desert Medical Center assists physicians in recognizing sleep disturbances including breathing, narcolepsy, insomnia, snoring, parasomnias and circadian rhythm disorders.
The sleep disorders program can help in diagnosing and treating sleep-related disorders, including sleep apnea, excessive sleepiness, movement disorders, insomnia and other sleep/wake schedule problems. The program provides treatment by experienced sleep professionals.
Our staff includes 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.
We offer high-tech sophistication in a homelike setting so that testing and evaluation are as easy and comfortable as closing your eyes and falling asleep. We take pride in the quality of studies that are produced at the Banner Desert Sleep Disorders Center.
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.
A monthly support group is available to the community for sleep related issues.
Accreditation and locations
Banner Desert Sleep Disorders Center is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). This certification is a rigorous process undertaken every five years to ensure quality testing. The staff is extremely proud of this distinction. Banner Desert Sleep Disorders Center is the longest standing accredited sleep center in the East Valley. For more information, please visit the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
The cost of sleep evaluations vary based on the type of sleep test needed. We accept all major insurance contracts and offer flexible scheduling.
