The Scarborough North Sleep Disorders Clinic is a government approved centre, located in Scarborough, closest intersection being Kennedy Road and Finch Avenue. We receive referrals from family physicians and a wide variety of medical specialists including respirologists, general internists, cardiologists, neurologists, psychiatrists and ear, nose and throat specialists.

There are a wide range of both daytime (awake) and night-time complaints that might suggest that a overnight sleep study would be helpful in diagnosing your problem which could lead to effective treatment. The common symptoms indicating the need for a sleep study include snoring at night, witnessed pauses or gasp or strange noises while you sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness and early morning headaches. A deterioration in your daytime functioning without obvious reason may be due to a sleep related problem that can only be detected and diagnosed by an overnight sleep study.

We have a new fully computerized clinic where you will interact with a friendly fully trained sleep specialist technologist. You will sleep overnight in a private room with full access to the facilities that you normally require at home during the night. Using the most up to date equipment, we are able to see, hear and monitor the nature and quality of your sleep during the night. We are also able to easily and safely monitor you breathing and heart beat without any discomfort or risk to you.

The study is done by real time analysis and a full report is sent to your referring doctor and family doctor after the study is reviewed by one of our physician sleep specialists. There is a medical doctor with sleep medicine expertise on call each night. We have a clean, private well lighted clinic situated as a storefront in an outdoor mall with free parking immediately in front of the clinic.

The clinic is only 3/8th of a mile from The Scarborough Hospital-Grace Division.
