Our respiratory therapists lead our internal mask fitting clinics to support our patients new to PAP therapies and provide ongoing patient resources.
We prescribe and monitor medications and therapy to treat all varieties of sleep disorders.
We partner with and provide oversight, leadership, and support for our Advanced Practice Providers (NP and PA) in our outpatient clinics.
We build and nurture a culture of strong positive communication with staff, consulting physicians, nurses, RTs, etc. to best provide excellence in patient care for our patients.
