Gellman is a top notch doctor. I came to him from another doc out of state and while he did some testing just to be sure, he hasn't messed with my meds once. Gellman is very understanding and thorough. I'm so glad he's a part of my care team.

Dr. Gellman spent a great deal of time discussing medical diagnoses, treatment options, and other ancillary issues that other medical providers had actually missed. He was able to work through some insurance issues with medication and now I am able to take advantage of treatment that I was earlier denied but entitled to. I am most grateful to his attention to detail.

Dr. Gellman is one of the best doctors I have ever worked with / treated with. He is very easy to talk to, is responsive and takes the time to answer all questions and address any concerns. Doctors like him are very rare and hard to find.

I have an extremely long medical history and I can tell you without a doubt that Dr. Gellman is one of the kindest, most considerate and caring doctors there are!! You can tell Dr. Gellman cares about people and wants to help them. I’ve never met a more comprehensive doctor. He really went over everything and made sure not to miss anything and never forgets to ask me if I have any questions. I also really appreciate how he explains things so easily. But most of all, I appreciate how he does care about people and their health, and will do everything to get my sleep apnea under control quickly. I also like how he only does business with reputable supply companies. I can not tell you the horror I have personally been through dealing with some of the supply companies with the other shad

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