For Patients

The sleep lab at the Northeast Georgia Diagnostic Clinic (NGDC) performs both day and overnight testing.  Our facility is blends the latest sleep technology along with the comforts of home.  In our facility, our professional staff is able to carefully monitor you so that we accurately diagnose your potential sleeping disorder. 

We attach sensors to you while you sleep so that we can monitor your brain and muscle activity, eye movements, heart rate and rhythm, dream patterns and breathing.  Videotaping and observing you while you sleep also helps Dr. Head compare the data collected through the sensors with your body activity.  Results of our testing will help us accurately diagnose your disorder and ultimately treat your disorder effectively.
