Preparing for Your Appointment

At UT Southwestern’s Clinical Center for Sleep and Breathing Disorders, your clinical evaluation starts with a comprehensive questionnaire that you complete and bring to the first appointment. You will then meet with one of our sleep medicine clinical providers to formulate a diagnostic and treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals for therapy.

New patients should bring the following items to their first appointment:

• All pertinent medical records (or verify that our staff has received them from your referring physician)
• Reports
• Test results
• X-ray films
• Insurance provider information, including and policy/group number
• Name and telephone number of the referring physician
• List of current medications and/or supplements
