Appointments
Referrals to
the Sleep Disorders Center frequently come from the patient’s primary
care physician. Please be sure to check with your health care
insurance company to confirm coverage and requirements.
If you don't have a primary care physician, you may schedule an
appointment with us by calling 417-820-5467. Our
board-certified sleep specialist, Dr. John Brabson, can order a sleep
study for you. |
St. John’s Sleep Disorders Center, located on the third floor of St. John's
Hospital, is a nationally accredited, full-service
sleep disorders center.
We diagnose and set up treatment for a variety of
sleep disorders. The sleep techs, nurse practitioners and board-certified
neurologists and pulmonologist at the Sleep Disorders Center help patients
with all types of sleep disorders, the most common being obstructive
sleep
apnea and
insomnia.
During your initial Sleep Disorders Center
appointment, you will receive a brief physical examination along with a
comprehensive interview to review symptoms, complaints, and overall patient
health history. Please bring your completed health questionnaire, which will
be mailed to you, with you to your first appointment.
You may be scheduled for a sleep study. If
so, you will also be taken on a tour of the Sleep Lab, including a brief
video describing about sleep studies.
