For years I have unsuccessfully dealt with exhaustion, mental fog, and lack of quality sleep. I had been diagnosed with sleep apnea before but didn’t want to deal with a CPAP machine. After the urging of my husband to look for a solution for my problems, I visited the Chattanooga Sleep Center. From the minute I walked in the door I knew I had made the right decision! All of the staff at the center are so helpful and genuine! After my first sleep study I was diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea. Because of this diagnosis I was able to try Oral Device Therapy. I received my device which looks very much like a retainer. I noticed immediate results! I have used the device every night since I received it. After a few months with my device I was scheduled for a second sleep study. The difference between the results of the two studies are remarkable. In my first study It was recorded that I had 16.3 apnea events per hour, snoring, and my lowest oxygen saturation was 85%. After using my device my results were 0.2 apnea events per hour, no snoring, and my lowest oxygen saturation was 90%. Most of all I have more energy and I feel better!! Thank you Dr. Smith, Dr. White, Laura, Gretchen, and all the amazing staff at The Chattanooga Sleep Center!

Great doctor with more than just the book type of knowledge. He uses his experience as a doctor to see the big picture of each patient’s need. At least that’s what he has done for me. I would certainly recommend him to anyone. He has not let me down yet. And I’ve gone to him for 20 years. Even though sleep apnea was the main reason for my going, I have visited him for a cough that I could not get rid of. In 3 days it was gone after seeing him. It was a simple cure. And he knew exactly what to do.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I NEED TO PREPARE FOR MY TESTING?

  • Attempt to arrive rested
  • Eat or drink only a modest amount that will not restrict your maximal breathing efforts.
  • Check with your physician about the use of inhalers or other bronchodilator medications prior to your test. Some tests require you to abstain from these medications for several hours before testing begins for the most accurate results.

The nature of the testing ordered will dictate any preparation required for your testing session. The ordering nurse from your physician's office is given the instructions for any special requirements associated with your tests. Ask about any specific requirements.

WHAT WILL THE TESTING SESSION BE LIKE?

You will be seated in a specially designed testing chamber for your session and be given very specific instructions to perform during the test. Many of the breathing maneuvers will require your maximum effort. You will be required to blow out as hard and fast as you can for 10 seconds. You may be required to hold your breath for 10 seconds. Most tests require that they be repeated several times to assure maximum accuracy. The therapist will be there continuously to assist you during the procedure.

WHY WOULD I NEED THIS TEST?

The test is performed to diagnose certain types of lung disease (especially asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema), determine the cause of shortness of breath, or measure whether occupational exposure to contaminants affects lung function. It can also be used after the administration of medications to assess their effect and measure progress in disease treatment.
