Better Sleep Starts Here With Expert Care and No Referral Needed

At The Sleep Institute, most sleep care journeys begin and end with a board-certified Sleep Specialist Physician, not just a technician.

Unlike most sleep clinics that rely on sleep technicians for client management, we do things differently. Nearly every patient at TSI receives direct care, diagnosis, and ongoing support from a Sleep Specialist Physician, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and a personalized, medically sound treatment plan. Our Sleep Specialists also have the ability to help patients who are struggling with CPAP therapy, insomnia, and other sleep disorders.

Why Direct Sleep Specialist Physician Consultations Matter

Sleep disorders are not just “issues” that make you tired. They are serious medical conditions that deserve expert oversight from start to finish. That’s why having your care led by a board-certified Sleep Specialist Physician makes such a difference.

With The Sleep Institute’s Physician-Led Model, you can expect:

  • Your initial consultation, sleep testing, and treatment plan are led by a Sleep Specialist Physician.
  • You benefit from coordinated care across a multidisciplinary team, including Sleep Specialist Physicians, Respiratory Therapists, Respiratory Technicians, Sleep Clinicians, and Behavioral Therapists.
  • Your diagnosis and treatment are evidence-based, not guesswork.
  • We can address complex cases such as insomnia, mental health factors, or unexplained fatigue that technicians at other sleep clinics may overlook.
