An Update from Dr. Fleming
It's difficult to overstate the profound impact that COVID-19 has had on our lives and medical practices. After fifteen years of helping Orange County patients sleep better, The Sleep Center Orange County practice, unfortunately, has to close its physical locations permanently.
However, they say that "necessity is the mother of invention." Thus, I'm transitioning over to an entirely virtual practice model, geared towards continued evaluation and treatment of your sleep apnea patients. I'm working with BetterNight, a comprehensive sleep health virtual platform, to consult with your patients in the safety and comfort of their homes. During the on-line consultation, if sleep apnea is suspected, then a home sleep study (HST) will be shipped directly to the patient's home, and results will subsequently be interpreted by me. If appropriate, treatment options for sleep apnea will then be offered. These options still include CPAP/APAP therapy, oral appliance therapy from a qualified local dentist, surgical options, and weight loss options. Your patients will also have access to a team of over 100 BetterNight sleep specialists to support and guide them to successful therapy outcomes.
I will continue to send you patient test results, clinic notes and offer the level of personalized service that you are accustomed to. BetterNight accepts most health insurance plans for their services.
I believe that telemedicine is the wave of the future for sleep apnea treatment, I sincerely appreciate your support over the years, and I look forward to continuing to serve you and your patients for a long time to come.
