Sleep Disorders Center
Sleep affects almost every type of tissue and system in the body – from the brain, heart, and lungs to metabolism, immune function, mood, and disease resistance. Research shows that chronic lack of sleep, or getting poor quality sleep, increases the risk of disorders including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression.

What is syncope?
Syncope is the medical term for fainting or passing out. Syncope can be accompanied with additional symptoms like lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision, sweating, confusion, nausea, and vomiting.
How we test for syncope?
We test in-house using 3 separate medical devices in our new Syncope Clinic. The information gathered from these devices are then sent to our Neurologist for review. The results will be sent back to your ordering provider promptly.
Tests to be used in our clinic examination:
In our new Syncope Clinic, all 3 tests are able to be completed in just 2 hours by our highly trained personnel.
Does my provider need to order this service for me?
Yes, a provider order is required. Due to the many reasons for syncope, your provider will be the one to assess if this service is appropriate for your individual situation. We work with all providers and insurances. Ask about our service today!
