Referrals to the sleep laboratory can be done by a child's Pediatrician, ENT physician, Neurologist or by a Sleep Specialist. Sometimes, it is necessary for the sleep specialists to evaluate the child before scheduling a sleep study, in order to tailor the sleep study to the child's need, e.g., possible need for a pH probe if acid reflux is a concern.
Children 2-18 years that are otherwise healthy and are referred for a sleep study due to snoring in the context of enlarged tonsils/adenoids or obesity, can be referred directly to the sleep lab.
Referral forms for the sleep lab can also be obtained by email or fax by calling 646-962-3410.
