Your source for quality sleep care.
The Stanislaus Sleep Disorders Center is a four-bedroom facility equipped with the
most comprehensive sleep monitoring systems available. Dr. Kirit B. Patel operates
this center and has practiced sleep medicine since 1987. He is a Board
Certified specialist in both Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. The Center is fully
accredited by the
American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
The Sleep Center provides extensive services for the full spectrum of sleep disorders.
We offer consultations and diagnostic testing including polysomnography (PSG), CPAP-PSG,
and multiple sleep latency tests (MSLT).
During diagnostic testing, a patient will stay overnight at our facility while sleep
technician(s) monitor several nocturnal functions related to sleep. The monitoring
system will record snoring; apnea; blood oxygen level; brain, heart, and breathing activity;
and abnormal body movement.
Before sleep, a technician will attach multiple sensors and bands to the patient using a
small amount of paste and/or tape. This does not restrict movement and the patient will
still be able to move about freely in bed as well as use the restroom.
We provide a comfortable, homelike sleep environment. Amenities include a private room
and television. We also welcome patients to bring their own reading material. One or more
sleep technician is present at all times during the night.
The Sleep Center and Dr. Patel are committed to provide excellent medical care to our
community. Please contact us if you need any additional information regarding our services,
and we will gladly answer your questions.
