110 Kildaire Park Drive, Suite 405 | Cary, NC 27518 | Map & Directions
A poor night's sleep can mean more than a bad next day and for individuals who have pulmonary disorders, such as sleep apnea, poor sleep can be life threatening. Fortunately, sleep studies that involve testing, such as Electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG), and treatment are available at the WakeMed Cary Hospital Sleep Center.
We have a Sleep Center to serve our sleep disorder patients.
Our 110 Kildaire Park Drive, Suite 405 location is in a separate building adjacent to the WakeMed Cary Hospital campus within the Medical Park of Cary. This location provides a safe and secure environment with easy access and convenient parking. And the décor will make you think you are in a hotel room instead of a sleep study room. Our nine "bedrooms" offer:
- Sophisticated décor with queen-size beds.
- Private restrooms with showers and control over room temperature.
- Flat screen, high-definition televisions in each room with Spectrum Cable service.
During your sleep study, one of our pulmonary professionals will use the latest technology to monitor your brain waves, muscle activity, leg movements, heart rhythms and other body functions. Testing is completely painless. Data from your test is collected, scored and interpreted by a sleep specialist, and sent to your referring physician for recommended therapy. Study results are available to physicians within a matter of days.
