For patients, it’s often helpful to know what to expect from your healthcare encounter. On this page, we provide a step-by-step
explanation of what occurs once you initiate contact with the Jefferson Sleep Disorders Center:
|
Step 1
|
Your first step is to schedule an initial consultation with a Jefferson sleep specialist. When you schedule your appointment,
we will provide you with an in-depth patient questionnaire. Please fill out the questionnaire completely before your appointment
and remember to bring it with you.
|
|
Step 2
|
The next step is your initial consultation. Please allow an hour and a half for the appointment, which will also include a
tour of our facility. Depending on the outcome of your consultation, the physician may order a sleep study. If so, we will schedule your study
before you leave the Center.
|
|
Step 3
|
If you are scheduled for a sleep study, simply arrive with your personal items on the day of the test. The Center provides
the convenience and amenities you would expect from a hotel. (For night studies, the Center is open from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.,
so you should eat dinner before your arrival.).
|
|
Step 4
|
Following your initial consultation and/or sleep study, we’ll ask you to schedule a follow-up appointment. During this appointment,
the physician will review the results of your sleep study and/or recommend treatments.
|
|
Step 5
|
Once you have initiated treatment, we recommend that you follow up with your Jefferson sleep specialist every six to 12 months.
