Today, sleep disorders are increasingly recognized as having serious health consequences. Yet, there is also an increase in the number of sleep-disorder cases that general physicians - well-meaning and devoted to their patients - attempt to evaluate and treat on their own. The fact is, there are good reasons why sleep medicine is classified as a distinct specialty and why your sleep difficulties should be managed by a physician specializing in sleep medicine.With more than 84 different sleep disorders, reaching an accurate diagnosis can be challenging without a sleep physician's additional training and expertise.
Our philosophy at Alaska Sleep Clinic centers around patient education, more importantly, patient sleep education. We recognize the value proper education has on long-term therapy and compliance. The more information a patient has about their sleep troubles, the more likely they are to be proactive about seeking and maintaining treatment.
A sleep study is just what it sounds like: a study of your sleep. Known as a polysomnogram, a sleep study measures many different factors involved in sleeping. It is conducted during the night while you slumber in a private and comfortable room. The polysomnogram measures and records breathing patterns, body movement, blood-oxygen levels, muscle activity and heart rhythm.
Home sleep testing is intended specifically to evaluate patients without co-morbidities (i.e without neurologic, cardiac or significant pulmonary disorders) who are considered to be moderate to high risk for sleep apnea. Home sleep testing is not intended to evaluate patients who are considered to be low risk for obstructive sleep apnea or if another sleep-related complaint is being considered i.e.
A good night's sleep is essential to the growth and development of children, and children require much more sleep than adults. Sometimes, however, children are unable to get the necessary amounts of nightly sleep that they need, and it can sometimes be attributed to a sleep disorder. At The Alaska Sleep Clinic, we provide consultation and therapeutic management for a wide variety of pediatric sleep disorders.

I've had nothing but great experiences with the staff and service here. The gentleman who set me up for my test was very kind and helpful. The front desk staff went above and beyond to help me fight with my insurance to cover the costs of the cpap machine, and every time I call them to place an order for new supplies they are always friendly and extremely helpful!

Unscrupulous and slimy business practices. I don't recommend any patient go to Alaska Sleep Clinic. I was charged my full deductible 3 days before the end of December for the next year before they would give me my APAP machine. They held on to this money ($1500) for 9 1/2 months before refunding ($1082) which caused me to pay almost twice my deductible for the year.
I talked with the CEO about my experience who gave me a sob story about having to pay employees and waiting for insurance to pay, etc. They will make life very difficult for you as the patient financially no matter what they say. I was not given a choice as to which machine I received after my sleep study and their supply chain is very inefficient and unprofessional. DO NOT go to Alaska Sleep Clinic especially if you have other options.
If you don't have the option, then I would strongly urge talking with your insurance company to get them to pay for another sleep center's services. If you are paying out of pocket, absolutely DO NOT give your hard-earned money to Alaska Sleep Clinic! Very much a scam business with a lot of unscrupulous characters.

Do not trust Alaska Sleep Clinic! Total false advertisement. Save your hard earned money for a reliable business. They advertised a certain percentage off if you paid in cash, which we did. We ended up paying full price and received no discount whatsoever. Then, after the initial consultation, they claimed it would be nearly 3x the cost we already paid to receive final consultation/interpretation of results. Needless to say, after many attempts to speak with multiple staff members at the facility, we ultimately had to find reliable, trustworthy help elsewhere. Total scam business!

Came in for a diagnostic sleep study since I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping and/or staying asleep. Came in at 8PM and was not expected until 9PM. Not my fault since I had received a call earlier in the day with the instructions, but whatev I can hang. I had a smallish room that had a bed, some sleep monitoring equipment, and a couple of cameras to monitor me throughout the night.
I had 24 different wires and tubes coming off me, which made it hard to get comfortable, but it was all right. I had a nice nurse who let me look at my monitoring activity the next day. Only downside is that my room was next to the monitoring room and I could hear the loud male tech talking. I almost got up to ask them to keep it down, but in the end dude shut up. Every person I met was nice and professional. I would recommend.

Not up front about all the costs. They told me the cost for an in-home sleep study (I think it was $800 -something) and worked with my insurance company to figure out my share. I paid my share in the clinic before I did the study. Then I got a call from a neurologists office in Texas to arrange an appointment. That would cost $600. Then I got a bill from the same neurologist's office for $500 (before it was reduced by my insurance) for interpretation of the results.
They said what I paid to the clinic was only for the equipment. They also said Alaska Sleep Clinic should have sent me the results (which I never received), but they will send it now. So, Alaska Sleep Clinic quoted $800-something dollars for a sleep study that would have actually cost closer to $2000. They also did not tell me anything about their arrangement with the doctor in Texas.
I chose to do business with an Alaskan clinic, not knowing anything at all about the doctor in a completely different clinic, with separate billing, located in Texas. That's not a deal-killer by any means, but Alaska Sleep Clinic should have explained how that works. I had no idea I would be getting a call from Texas (probably ignored their calls a dozen times because of the Texas area code), and the communication between the two clinics is clearly not what it should be.
For the good: The sleep study itself was easy. They taught me how to attach everything. The equipment appeared to be in good working order. The process for picking it up and returning it was easy. I should also add that the neurologist's office was very professional and direct in their dealings with me. I never met with the doctor because I thought it cost too much, but the staff I talked to on the phone was very courteous.

Got a referral from my Dr. and did a sleep study, got a Cpap machine and use it every night. Got moderate sleep apnea and don't want to do surgery but found this was a decent way to sleep, no more snoring or stop breathing. I don't watch myself sleep but am sure I woke up another with my unladylike snoring and probably oinking. I got to try the 'sleep number' bed.had a great sleep technician that got me some juice before I went to bed and some more when I woke up. Concerned about your sleep hygiene/health? Check them out.plus they got some awesome customer service skills and are generous in helping you out.
