I had to get a study done for both sleep apnea and narcolepsy. Every provider that I worked with was extremely kind. The overnight stay was as comfortable as possible (other than having wires all over me). I had my own room with a TV and spacious bed. They also provided a fan when I asked for it and meals during my stay. One of the technicians even reached out to me afterwards, because I had forgotten a ring on the sink and did not realize it. My f/u was a couple weeks later and they were very thorough while explaining the results. I was able to receive an official diagnosis of narcolepsy and meds were prescribed same day. I am extremely grateful for their services!

This staff is so unprofessional. They call me at 8am asking if I want to change my appointment time right before a large snow storm 1-10-25. I agree. Few minutes later I get a call saying they are canceling my appointment all together and that I am no longer welcome at their facility and to seek treatment somewhere else. Apparently the nurse I spoke to at 8am while I was half asleep didn't like me and bad mouthed behind my back. I honestly barely remember the phone call. I didn't say anything weird. Just trying to make sure I understood the appointment thing bc I got woken up. Ironic how a sleep clinic can't understand a patient that has sleep problems. I never cursed, or said anything negative. Just surprised bc I got bombarded with phone calls at eight in the morning.

My husband had a sleep study done here. I attended with him. Everyone was professional and courteous. They respected our decision to wear a mask and made sure to always wash hands and use sanitizer. There were several things I was unhappy with. First, when the spouse attends, respect their decision to put the reclining chair next to the bed. There's a reason for it. Also,allow them to do things for their spouse. Such as cover them, clean the gunk out of their hair, help them to the bathroom. It's fine to do these things for single patients but it's disrespectful to the spouse when they are there. Second, when the patient has to use the bathroom at night, do NOT turn the hall lights on. Keep them dim. Brightness wakes a person thus causing them trouble falling back asleep. This defea

I went in and saw the doctor in May. They told me they would call me to schedule. I hadn’t heard anything for over a month so I called in and the person on the phone said they would get me scheduled and call me back. I waited another month for a phone call. I called back today and they transferred me to someone’s voicemail that was full. I guess they don’t want to schedule people to come in for their sleep study

I was scheduled for a split night study as long as they got adequate data in time to do the second part of study. That would have worked out except it took them way too long to get me wired up for sleep due to spending extra time with another patient. I tried to be understanding about having to come back for a second study unnecessarily. But looks like now I will have to pay two hefty out of pocket portions instead of just the one. That I am not happy about at all. It seems to me they are trying to run too many studies with less staff.

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 Fort Sanders Sleep Disorder Center
What does Fort Sanders Sleep Disorder Center do?
Fort Sanders Sleep Disorder Center is a sleep medicine clinic in Knoxville, TN 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 Fort Sanders Sleep Disorder Center?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Fort Sanders Sleep Disorder Center directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Fort Sanders Sleep Disorder Center?
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 Fort Sanders Sleep Disorder Center?
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.
