Your First Sleep Care Visit
- Plan Your Consultation: Call our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Ardovino.
- Visit Us: When you arrive at our office, you’ll be greeted by our front desk and taken to our treatment room. Our team member will talk to you briefly about your sleep history, ask you a couple questions, and help you get comfortable in the treatment chair. After a few minutes, Dr. Ardovino will come in and introduce herself to you. She’ll sit with you and discuss where you’re at in the treatment process as well as next steps. She also delegates ample time in her schedule to making sure that all of her new patients’ questions get answered.
- Schedule Sleep Study: If you haven’t received a sleep study yet, we make this process very easy for you by providing home sleep tests. A sleep physician will review your results and make a diagnosis based on your study results. We can also direct you to a local sleep center for an overnight study if you prefer.
- Find the Right Treatment for You: If you already have a sleep apnea diagnosis or come to us looking for an alternative to CPAP therapy, you likely won’t need to receive another sleep study. We’ll help you find the right treatment for you by discussing all of your options. If this includes oral appliance treatment, Dr. Ardovino will have a customized oral sleep appliance crafted, which can take a couple of weeks.
- Three-Month Follow-Up: Our all-inclusive process offers clear pricing and includes any follow-up and support visits the first 90 days. Our team is going to make sure you are doing well with your oral appliance.
