We provides convenient unattended home sleep studies for patients who have a high probability of obstructive
sleep apnoea (OSA). We have procured the most up to date equipment and software
to conduct the sleep studies on you. The studies will be reported by our experienced sleep physician with a quick turnaround time. A direct referral
can be made to the service if you fulfil the criteria as stated on
the referral form, with a sleep physician consultation to be organised if requested by your referring practitioner.
Respiratory & Sleep Disorders Consultations
We provide respiratory and sleep disorders consultations onsite with our two experienced specialists.
Dr Nicholas Chin consults onsite for any respiratory related symptoms that require specialist's assessment. A referral from your general or specialist practitioner is required. Most respiratory consultations require a lung function test which we can facilitate onsite also prior to your consultation. For a full profile of Dr Chin, please refer to the section under Our team.
Dr Murad Ibrahim will start consulting onsite soon for sleep disorders from sleep apnoea (or what is known as sleep disordered breathing) to other non-sleep disordered breathing related conditions. For a full profile of Dr Ibrahim, please refer to the section under Our team.
