Our sleep study facility is a very comfortable room. In Jerome or Gooding, the bathroom is in the sleeping room, but not in Ketchum. You will be put to bed around 10:30pm – 11:00pm. Throughout the night you will be wearing a series of electrodes on your face and body. The Sleep Technician will be located in the next room monitoring your sleeping behaviors. You will be awakened around 5:30 am.
Due to the significant cost of the Sleep Study, patients waiting so far in advance, and the technical coordination necessary to facilitate these studies, we ask that you do everything possible to keep your appointment. In the event that you must cancel, please provide us with at least 24 hours notice.
If you have any billing questions, please call your insurance company prior to your sleep study, or our office (208) 726-0000.
If you have any Sleep Study related questions, please call Sun Valley Pain and Sleep Center (208) 726-0000. For more information on sleep disorders please visit our website www.kimvorsemd.com

Dr. Vorse
