Are you struggling with sleep issues or consistently waking up feeling tired? The UPMC Altoona Sleep Center is here to help. Located conveniently at 620 Howard Ave in Altoona, PA, our center specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of sleep disorders to enhance your overall health and well-being.

Comprehensive Sleep Services

We offer personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. With over 80 types of sleep disorders identified, our goal is to ensure you receive the most effective care. Untreated sleep disorders can have serious health implications, such as affecting your heart and lungs or even leading to a stroke. If you already have existing health conditions, sleep disorders can exacerbate them.

Expert Assessments and Sleep Studies

If you or your doctor suspect a sleep disorder, contact us at 814-889-4466 to discuss the possibility of a sleep study. Our team of experienced doctors will conduct a thorough assessment and, if necessary, schedule a sleep study at our state-of-the-art facility. Sleep studies are conducted overnight in one of our six private rooms, equipped with the latest digital monitoring technology to track your breathing, eye movements, brain waves, and heart rate.

Flexible Scheduling

We conduct sleep studies from Sunday night through Friday night, starting at 9:00 p.m. For those with unconventional work schedules, we can arrange daytime sleep studies. Although we do not hold sleep studies on Saturdays, our team is committed to accommodating your needs as much as possible.

Post-Study Care and Treatment

After your sleep study, our doctors will review the results with you and develop a customized treatment plan. Depending on your diagnosis, treatments may include CPAP machines, MAD devices (similar to mouthguards), or medication. Surgery is considered a last resort and is recommended to fewer than one percent of our patients.

Operating Hours
