Dr Brady is in my opinion he is top notch one of the best pulmonary doctors I have found. I pray he is with us for a very long time. He is passionate and thorough with exams and makes sure he listens to your concerns. His teammate Melinda is also caring and passionate makes you very comfortable. Michelle Gutkowski is one of a kind special in everyway she is a kind gentle and caring Individual and between the three they make a pulmonary visit feel like they are truly there for your well being. Thank you

The desk staff were polite and friendly, but I do not feel that I had a respectful experience with the doctor assigned to see me. I believe he is new here. There was less of an interactive process between patient and doctor, and more of a somewhat condescending lecture that approached me as if I was a village idiot who had just been kicked in the head by a mule. Extremely difficult to get a word in edgewise. I attempted to explain my issues in detail and was dismissed and told flatly that I was “overthinking it.” I have had these issues for a decade. I think I know how to describe them. And it certainly isn’t easy to do so when you’re already speaking to me like I have a concussion and there’s little lines spinning around my head like I’m a cartoon character. I don’t think I’ll be returni

Dr. Mark Brady is the best! I been with him for a few years now and wouldn't think of going any place else. Good sense of humor, listens to your concerns and has a way of making you feel cared for. Having him come to Pulmonary and Sleep was the best thing they could have done. You have picked, in my opinion the best out there!!! Thank you Dr. Brady

Very disappointed. Recently did an at home sleep test to confirm the good results received from Dr. Link. Dr. Link's office made Dr. Clark aware of the test. Dr. Clark's staff called me and insisted that I come in for an appointment. I asked to be given the results over the phone which I had already been told were good. I made the appointment and was there early for this morning. After going through all the Covid-19 screening and paying an $80 copay (had me pay it over the phone from my vehicle before entering), I achieved absolutely nothing. Dr. Clark asked a couple of questions and then went to find out he didn't have the test and Dr. Link is closed on Friday. His assistant was very nice as always. His reception staff need classes in customer service. Again, very disappointed and out a

Dr. David Clark is the worst doctor in the practice. My mother was going there for years seeing another doctor to get infusions for a Medical condition she has had for well over 10yrs. The doctor she was seeing left the practice and she was put with Dr. Clark. He refused to give her the medication she has been on for over a decade because her level was .1 pt off. Her condition will continue to deteriorate. This is criminal negligence at it’s best. And has law suit written all over it! We intend to call the patient advocate and make a formal complaint! Stay away from this practice. They clearly don’t care if you live or die!

What to expect at a sleep study appointment
For an in-lab study, you arrive in the evening and sleep in a private room while sensors record breathing, oxygen, heart rhythm and body movement. For a home sleep test, the clinic gives you a portable kit you use in your own bed. Neither test is painful. Results are usually compiled into a physician report within one to two weeks, and the clinic then discusses whether treatment — such as CPAP therapy or an oral appliance — is needed.
Preparation basics: avoid caffeine in the afternoon, skip lotions and hair products, bring comfortable sleepwear, and take your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Frequently asked questions about Blue Ridge Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine
What does Blue Ridge Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine do?
Blue Ridge Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine is a sleep medicine clinic in Morganton, NC that evaluates and treats sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy. Evaluation usually involves a sleep study, and treatment may include CPAP therapy, an oral appliance, or behavioral therapy depending on the diagnosis.
Do I need a referral to book a sleep study at Blue Ridge Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Blue Ridge Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Blue Ridge Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine?
Sleep study costs vary widely with the type of test, your insurance plan and your deductible. Home sleep tests generally cost less than in-lab studies. Ask the clinic for an itemized estimate and check with your insurer about in-network rates before booking.
Does insurance cover sleep studies and CPAP treatment?
Most US insurers, including Medicare, cover sleep studies and CPAP therapy when they are medically necessary and properly documented. Coverage details — deductibles, co-pays and supply replacement schedules — differ by plan, so verify with your insurer and the clinic.
How long does it take to get sleep study results?
Typically one to two weeks. A sleep physician reviews the recorded data and writes a report, after which the clinic discusses the findings and any recommended treatment with you.
Can I do the sleep study at home?
Possibly. Home sleep apnea tests suit many adults with a high likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea and no major heart or lung conditions. If your symptoms are complex or the home test is negative despite strong symptoms, an in-lab study is usually the next step. The clinic can determine which option fits you.
What should I bring to my appointment at Blue Ridge Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine?
Comfortable sleepwear, your photo ID and insurance card, a list of current medications, and your own pillow if that helps you sleep. Avoid caffeine after midday and skip lotions or hair products, because sensors attach better to clean skin.
