Referring Doctors
THE SLEEP TEAM understands the frustration that you may feel when a patient is unable to tolerate CPAP and we are here for you. We are always eager to work with fellow medical professionals to help their patients struggling with snoring and sleep apnea. Over the years, we have partnered with general practitioners, sleep doctors, neurologists, cardiologists, ENTs, general dentists, and more. We maintain clear and consistent communication throughout the care process, keep the patient’s cost to a minimum using insurance, and always send them back with a complete treatment plan. If you would like to refer a patient to our sleep practice, you can do so just by sending us at fax to (702) 799-9831 or email at [email protected].
