No more Sleep Apnea
Sound Sleep Clinic, PLLC is a sleep disorders clinic in the State of Washington. It was established in 2003 by Dr. Jakdej Nikomborirak, M.D., a sleep board certified physician. Dr. Nikomborirak, also known as “Dr. Jak” graduated from Georgetown University School of Medicine in 1990, became board certified in internal medicine at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, and finally specialty board certified in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine at Medical College of Georgia.
Dr. Jak’s goal has always been to make treatment of sleep apnea available to patients where healthcare is not readily accessible. Over the years, he has helped several small critical access hospitals in rural Washington state establish sleep centers, all accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Presently, Dr. Jak travels regularly to seven remote towns in the state to test and treat patients with sleep disordered breathing.
In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sound Sleep Clinic has decided to make evaluation and treatment of sleep apnea available online. By answering standard questionnaires, Dr. Jak will determine whether the patient is likely or not to have sleep apnea and treatment is warranted.
Overview of Sleep Apnea
Getting treatment for obstructive sleep apnea is one of the easiest ways to improve your health and quality of life. However, the usual route to treatment sometimes causes more delay and inconvenience. Dr. Jak explains the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea and discusses how one can go directly to treatment without a sleep study.
