New Sleep Center
The physicians at Desert Pulmonary & Sleep Consultants, PLC have been leaders in sleep medicine since 1989. Their sleep medicine specialties have been instrumental in the development of the sleep centers at Banner Desert Medical Center, Banner Baywood Medical Center, and Valley Oximetry Sleep Disorders Center in Mesa, Arizona. In November 2006, the practice opened a sleep and pulmonary diagnostic center in south Gilbert. This center provides a comfortable homelike setting for patients who require over night sleep studies and can perform full pulmonary diagnostic studies as well.

Accreditation

As of July 13, 2007 the Desert Pulmonary & Sleep Consultants Diagnostic Center has been accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The DPSC Sleep Center thus joins a select group of less than a dozen Accredited Sleep Centers located throughout the State.
