The University of Maryland Sleep Disorders Center is an innovative and full-service facility that opened in downtown Baltimore in April of 2002. It provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of the more than 80 different types of sleep disorders by a multidisciplinary team of specialists and a new state-of-the-art sleep laboratory. The University of Maryland Hospital for Children has a pediatric sleep laboratory for the diagnosis of sleep disorders in children.

The laboratory, located at University Specialty Hospital - near Baltimore's Inner Harbor - is designed to conduct overnight and daytime sleep studies to help diagnose a wide range of sleep disorders, from insomnia and sleep apnea to snoring, narcolepsy, night terrors and sleepwalking.

The treatment team includes University of Maryland doctors with expertise in many areas of medicine, including sleep disorders medicine, pulmonology, otolaryngology, cardiology, psychology, psychiatry, neurology and dentistry.

One of our sleep specialists consults with each patient to determine the nature of the underlying disorders and what additional testing, such as a sleep study, is indicated. Then, depending on the results of the studies, other specialists are brought in as needed to develop a personalized treatment plan.
