OUR OFFICES
We have three office locations; Miami, Kendall and Doral. The offices provide a comfortable environment for consultations and visits where the patients meet with their doctor to treat their chronic sleep disorders on an on-going basis. Once a patient is diagnosed with a sleep disorder it typically requires life-long treatment. At Sleep Medicine Specialists of South Florida, our comprehensive approach to sleep, is what differentiates us from other practices.
To better serve our patients we have two sleep labs conveniently located throughout Miami-Dade County. Each facility is comprised of three private sleep lab rooms.
The facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art polysomnography (sleep study) recording systems. All our rooms are comfortable and outfitted with fresh linens and a flat screen TV. The rooms are furnished with queen or full-size beds. We strive to maintain a resort like environment. For the patients’ convenience, there is a bathroom with a large shower.
​
Our sleep laboratory in the Miami (LeJeune) office opened its doors in 2016 and is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). The Kendall office, which opened in 2019, is in the process of attaining full accreditation from the AASM. Dr. Edward Mezerhane serves as Facility Director for both locations.
​
As an office-based sleep center our procedures are highly cost effective in comparison to the same procedures provided at a hospital or outpatient facility. This could represent significant savings to patients’ deductibles, coinsurance and copayments.
​
What’s being monitored during your stay?
​
It’s a non-invasive procedure that gives the best results. It is the gold standard in diagnosing sleep disorders.
​
Why have an in-lab sleep study?
​
Our registered polysomnography technicians are able to observe your brain rhythms, eye movements, chin movements, leg movements, breathing through your nose, body position, breathing patterns of your abdomen and chest, snoring, oxygen and heart rate. The doctor interprets this data in order to accurately diagnose your sleep disorder.

INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS
At Sleep Medicine Specialists of South Florida, we gladly accommodate international patients. If given ample time, our international patient coordinator can assist you in making your appointment with one of our physicians during your time in South Florida. The visits are planned strategically so that you can be seen in office consultation with a physician, have a sleep study done, discuss the results of this sleep study with the doctor, and if necessary, obtain your DME (ie. CPAP device) prior to your return back home. We strive to get all of these steps completed in one business week.

Our staff is trained in HIPAA, GCP, ICH, and Hazmat. Both facilities are equipped with sleep rooms, examination rooms, laboratories, and secure IP storage rooms.
​
We work closely with our patients and monitors to ensure there is a high level of compliance with study related procedures as dictated by the protocol and the FDA. Through our studies, patients can play a more active role in their health by gaining access to new treatments while helping to advance medical research.
