Do you suspect you have sleep apnea, but are putting off a diagnosis because you dread spending a night wired up in a cold, sterile hospital room?
At North Dallas ENT, we make diagnostics simple, fast, and comfortable. Because we are an independent private practice, we bypass the frustrating 4-to-6 month waitlists common at major Dallas-area hospital systems. Whether you test in your own bed or in our modern clinical suites, your data is evaluated and interpreted by a double board-certified Sleep Medicine physician to ensure a highly accurate diagnosis.
• Best For: Patients suspected of having uncomplicated, moderate-to-severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
• How It Works: We coordinate delivery of a small, lightweight testing device directly to you. Before bed, you apply three gentle sensors (a finger clip, a chest belt, and a nasal tube) and sleep normally. You return the device as instructed for evaluation.
• The North Dallas ENT Advantage: Unlike cheap, direct-to-consumer online mail-order tests, our home tests are medically ordered, calibrated, and interpreted by a local board-certified specialist who manages your care from start to finish.
• Best For: Patients with complex sleep symptoms, suspected insomnia, restless leg syndrome, pediatric sleep concerns, or previous inconclusive home tests.
• How It Works: You spend the night in one of our private, quiet, hotel-style diagnostic suites. Advanced sensors continuously monitor your brainwaves, heart rate, oxygen levels, muscle movement, and breathing patterns.
• The North Dallas ENT Advantage: Our modern sleep suites are designed to feel like you are comfortably resting at home, ensuring you can sleep naturally while we gather the precise data needed to build your custom treatment plan.

A: Once your test is complete, Dr. Scalzitti reviews your sleep metrics (including your AHI, or Apnea-Hypopnea Index, and blood oxygen levels). We typically have your comprehensive results and a customized treatment plan ready within 7 to 10 days.
A: You will sit down with our team to discuss your results. Because we offer a complete suite of diagnostics, oral appliances, and ENT surgical solutions, we will build a treatment plan around your lifestyle—not just default to a CPAP mask.
