Team Approach
At the Trinitas Comprehensive Sleep Disorders Center, we use a team approach in solving sleep problems. Every staff member is selected and trained to help patients achieve the best results possible. Working together as an integrated unit, we have created a process whereby patients transform “problem sleepers” as we identify, diagnose, and treat their sleep disorders.
We have outstanding registered respiratory therapists and registered polysomnography experts actively involved in your testing. Our equipment includes everything we need to monitor your sleep, document your sleep habits and patterns, and gather information to make a diagnosis. For your convenience, we have bilingual staff, handicapped access, and the facility combines the expertise of a major hospital center with the warmth and personalized attention of a 4-bed facility.
About the Staff
The Trinitas Comprehensive Sleep Disorders Center is staffed by experienced, credentialed personnel who are in this field because they care about sleep quality. There are technicians registered by the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists as well as the American Association for Respiratory Care. Their training ensures accurate testing results.
Our goal is to make you feel at home as much as we can during your stay at the sleep disorders center. Should you require translation assistance, bilingual technicians and a language bank are available at night and during the day. The staff will follow you even after your test is completed to make sure your problems have been successfully resolved. We are very proud of our team approach and we look forward to helping you or someone you love with our comprehensive services.
