Detect and understand your sleep disorders
Our specialists
Our respiratory specialists, trained in sleep, work as a team with an integrated approach to enable accurate diagnosis and treat your sleep disorder in the most effective way possible.
Consultation with a pulmonologist
Your pulmonologist is a specialist doctor who is an expert in the respiratory system.
Côté Santé pneumologists are medical specialists, some of whom are also active practitioners in research centers. The entire medical team is managed by the pulmonologist who specializes in sleep Katéri Champagne (doctor specializing in internal medicine, pneumology, FRCPC, MSc Epidemiology, Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine).
When to consult ?
Consult a pulmonologist if your condition cannot be treated effectively with standard protocols. This is the case, for example, if you suffer from a complex sleep disorder or a severe nocturnal respiratory disease.
The pulmonologist assesses advanced sleep apnea, sleep-related breathing disorders, or other rare conditions that require specialized expertise (narcolepsy, hypersomnolence, hypoventilation, hypoxemia, hypoxemia, COMISA, etc.).
Process
A program designed to assess and treat complex sleep-related respiratory disorders. Benefit from specialized expertise and personalized follow-up tailored to your condition.

Outline of the meeting
The respiratory therapist will collect information in order to offer you solutions and to refer you to our services that are best suited to your specific needs.
Consultation with a general practitioner
The general practitioner assesses your general state of health and prescribes treatment. If necessary, he or she will refer you to specialists.
Côté Santé's general practitioners work under the supervision of lung specialist Katéri Champagne, a sleep expert.
When to consult
The purpose of this consultation is usually to obtain a prescription for a sleep test (which must be issued by a doctor).
This service is therefore ideal if :
- you want a sleep test or treatment, but you don't have access to your family doctor... or, like many people, you don't have a family doctor!
- you need to have your treatment reviewed, for example because it's no longer giving such good results.
Process
Accessible follow-up to resolve your sleep disorders or adjust ongoing treatment, even without a family doctor.
