Sleep Disorder Center

At Upson Regional Medical Center, we're catching some waves that can have a dramatic effect for those who suffer from sleep disorders.

The figures are staggering...one out of every four people suffers from a sleep disorder and many sleep disorders may be life threatening. For instance, someone with severe sleep apnea (where a person stops breathing for about 10 seconds or more as many as 600 times per night) is a very high risk.

They typically snore, go through a period of silence, and then gasp for air. During the day, they feel unrested and irritable. Sleep apnea can be detected through the evaluation of a person’s sleep waves. Once sleep physician diagnoses the condition, a treatment plan begins.

Dr. Charles Wells and Dr Vinod Mehta are board Certified Sleep Specialists that serve our sleep center. They will provide sleep consultation, interpretation, and follow-up services.

When a sleep study is ordered, the patient will be sent to our laboratory for this painless, non-invasive overnight procedure.
SleepMed a nationally respected sleep diagnostic company operates the Sleep Disorder Laboratory. Highly trained sleep technologists will perform the sleep studies.
