If all goes well, you may not need a sleep doctor.

If problems/questions arise that your doctor cannot answer, you can do a search for accredited sleep centers in your area and find a doctor that way.

Or you may have a health insurance help line or customer service line that will give you the name(s) of accredited sleep doctors participating in your plan.

Or call a university hospital near you and ask for names.

Or you may have a local AWAKE chapter to contact.

My DME gave me the name of the local sleep doctor.

Whatever you do, do be proactive about your health. Hope you're beginning to feel better now.
