Our specialists diagnose and treat a wide range of sleep disorders, as well as complex breathing and respiratory conditions. Depending on your child’s needs, treatment may include oxygen, CPAP, BiPAP or medicine. For children with obstructive sleep apnea who have difficulty tolerating CPAP, we also offer hypoglossal nerve stimulation.
We combine specialized expertise with advanced diagnostic and treatment approaches to help children get the care they need.
Multidisciplinary Team
Some children may need care from several types of specialists. Our team includes experts in sleep medicine, pulmonary medicine, otolaryngology (ENT), neurology, behavioral health and psychology.
These specialists work together to understand what is affecting your child’s sleep and develop a personalized care plan based on your child’s needs. By coordinating care across specialties, we help families navigate the process from testing and diagnosis to treatment.
Sleep Studies To Help Guide Care
A sleep study measures your child’s breathing, sleep patterns and movements during sleep. The results help our specialists identify sleep disorders and determine which treatments may be most helpful.
Our Sleep Laboratory offers private rooms where parents can stay overnight with their child. Our family-centered approach to care helps children feel comfortable during testing and supports families throughout the process.
Experience Families Can Trust
Our Sleep Center cares for more than 4,500 patients each year and participates in research and clinical trials to advance sleep care for children around the world.
We partner with parents and caregivers every step of the way. Our team listens to your concerns, explains your child’s condition and treatment options, and helps you feel informed and confident in your child’s care plan.
