If you suspect that you have a sleep-related disorder, it is important to be evaluated by a sleep specialist. According to the Institute of Medicine, an estimated 70 million Americans, or approximately one out of every four Americans, suffer from a chronic sleep disorder. Yet in the majority of cases, the sleep disorder goes undiagnosed and untreated primarily because of a general lack of awareness of the signs and symptoms of the disorders. Call us to schedule a consultation at one of our facilities in San Antonio. A good night’s sleep may only be a phone call away.
