The Adult sleep medicine clinic at the University of Miami is staffed by board-certified specialists in sleep medicine, pulmonary and neurology with multidisciplinary relationships with specialists in otolaryngology and oral medicine. Our specialists treat a wide range of sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, restless leg syndrome/periodic limb movement disorder and circadian rhythm abnormalities. We partner with university surgical sleep specialists to offer patients surgical options for the treatment of sleep apnea [link to website]. We also offer comprehensive evaluations in conjunction with the epilepsy program at the university for sleep-related behaviors [link to website].

Pediatric Sleep Medicine
The Univeristy of Miami Pediatric Sleep Disorders Clinic offers evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders for infants, children and adolescents. The clinic and associated laboratories are staffed by an interdisciplinary team of board-certified pediatric pulmonary physician and sleep specialist, fellows, a nurse practitioner, nurses, respiratory therapists, and registered polysomnographic technologists with experience in pediatric sleep recording.
Staff members utilize the sleep laboratory facilities at Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University for sleep disorders and for therapeutic interventions, including CPAP and BiPAP. Pulmonary diagnostic testing facilities are also available to help in the assessment of children with lung disorders complicated by sleep abnormalities.
University Sleep Laboratory
The University of Miami sleep laboratory is an accredited four-bed diagnostic testing facility located at the Univeristy of Miami Medical Campus at the Civic Center, where sleep studies are conducted on an outpatient basis. Each of the rooms has a private bathroom, thermostat and cable television.
Sleep studies are performed seven nights/days of the week for patient convenience. Parents of children and adolescents having sleep studies are accommodated with a sleeper recliner in the testing bedroom where their children are having testing. Infants are recorded in a crib with the parent sleeping on the bed or in the recliner in the same room. Our chief technologist is Guido Arguello, RPSGT. We are located on the second floor of the National Parkinson’s Foundation Building on the University of Miami Medical Campus, 1501 NW 9th Avenue. Parking is available behind the building.
