They accommodate my son and children's need everytime since we are a family of 3 children all in diapers and 2 of the 3 are in fact special needs children. The best place forsure for your children's care !

Dr Gehringer and his team especially Dr.Aguayo provided truly exceptional treatment. Very understanding, compassionate, and took the time to listen to all our questions. We were clearly explained the treatment plan and made sure we understood every step. Decisions were made with our child’s well-being as the top priority and involved us as parents in every step of the care plan. We felt completely supported and reassured throughout. The nurses were outstanding—extremely helpful, attentive, and always cheerful. They were quick to respond, patient with our concerns, and made sure our child was comfortable at all times. The food and support provided by Ronald House were truly appreciated. Helped to take a big load off us during our 2 week stay. Overall, we are deeply thankful to the doctor

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 UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital Oakland
What does UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital Oakland do?
UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital Oakland is a sleep medicine clinic in Oakland, CA 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 UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital Oakland?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital Oakland directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital Oakland?
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 UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital Oakland?
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.
