About Laredo Medical Center

More than 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders. Sleep is essential for physical and mental renewal, and long-term sleep difficulties can lead to serious medical problems. Laredo Medical Center's sleep medicine doctors, sleep technologists, and other clinicians are dedicated to helping you get a good night’s sleep. We offer diagnostic testing for a range of sleep disorders, including:

• Chronic snoring
• Insomnia
• Narcolepsy
• Restless leg syndrome
• Sleep apnea

Our sleep medicine team offers diagnostic and treatment options to address your individual needs. Registered, specially-trained technologists use multi-dimensional instrumentation to monitor and record sleeping functions such as brain waves, eye movement, breathing, oxygen level in the blood, electro-cardiogram and certain muscle group activity, all under the direction of a board-certified sleep physician.

We conduct sleep studies to evaluate your sleep patterns and draw from a variety of treatment options to help you and your physician determine how to achieve restful sleep, such as:

• Medications
• Behavior modification therapies that address risk factors
• Non-invasive medical devices such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) devices to facilitate breathing
