Do you know what a sleep study is and how your doctor uses them to improve your sleep?
Your doctor may have you do a sleep study to help diagnose a sleep disorder. The sleep study measures how well you sleep and how you and your body respond to sleep issues.

There are on-site and at-home sleep studies available, and if your provider determines that a sleep study is needed, they will work with you and your insurance to determine the best option to meet your needs!

Contact us to discuss your sleep concerns and see if a sleep study will benefit your better sleep journey today!

Do you know what Kamryn does as your allergy nurse?

She works with your primary care provider and our in-house Physicians to develop an individualized immunology care plan.
1. The beginning of this process is to determine what your allergens are. She preps and performs skin allergy tests and observes your reactions to the various food and/or elemental allergens.
2. After she collects the results, she works with our physicians and your primary care provider to develop an individualized immunotherapy program that will gradually increase the dose of the serum to build your body’s immunity to the allergen(s).
3. Before you receive your allergy shots, she mixes your serums and administers your shots according to your immunotherapy plan.
4. She also does the administrative work needed to keep accurate records and the process running smoothly.

Have you met our amazing Allergy Nurse, Kamryn RN?

She works in our allergy clinic and sets up and performs allergy tests, reviews allergy results with our specialized doctors, mixes serums, and administers allergy shots.

*What attracted her to Allergy Medicine? *
She was attracted to allergy medicine because it was something that wasn’t touched on during nursing school. Her interest was sparked by the opportunity to broaden her nursing knowledge, and by the challenge of individualizing each patient's treatment plan. It also allowed her to work closely with the Physicians to determine what works best for each patient.

Tip #1 to Improve Your Sleep!
🛌 Start or set your bedtime routine earlier: 🛌

- Step 1: Determine when you should fall asleep to get the recommended amount of sleep by the time you need to wake up. (For example: if you need to wake up at 6:00 a.m., and you need 8 hours of sleep, you should try to be asleep by 10:00 p.m.)

- Step 2: Work your routine timeline backwards to calculate the new times you should start each of your wind down activities for the night.
