How we Assess
So You Need to be Assessed
You have decided to take your sleep seriously. Here is what your assessment with Dr. Urich looks like.
Dr. Urich starts by reviewing your full sleep history. He asks about your symptoms, your sleep patterns, and any feedback from your bed partner. This gives him a clear picture of what you are dealing with before any evaluation begins.
From there, Dr. Urich evaluates your airway and works with your physician to confirm the right diagnosis. This step is important. Treating sleep apnea without a proper diagnosis means treating the wrong problem. Dr. Urich makes sure your treatment plan is built on accurate information from the start.
Once your assessment is complete, Dr. Urich walks you through your options and explains exactly what your treatment will involve. You leave your first appointment with a clear plan and no unanswered questions.
