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 in the respiratory system.

Côté Santé's pulmonologists are certified by the American Board of Sleep Medicine or are active practitioners in research centers. The entire medical team is led by sleep respirologist Katéri Champagne.

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.

01

File opening

Once we have identified your need, we can offer you a consultation with a pulmonologist from our team. Depending on the pulmonologist, fees may apply.

02

Course of the meeting

The consultation, which lasts between 20 and 50 minutes, takes place virtually or by telephone. A detailed health questionnaire must be completed prior to the appointment to better understand your condition. The pulmonologist will review your medical history and assess the need for specific treatment for your respiratory problems.

03

Consultation report

The detailed consultation report, including your medical history and recommendations, will be sent to you within a week. The pulmonologist will establish a precise diagnosis and suggest appropriate treatment options.

04

Action plan

Upon receipt of the report, a member of our team will contact you to discuss the pulmonologist's recommendations and implement the action plan, whether it involves CPAP or other treatment options.

Consultation with a respiratory therapist

At your appointment, your respiratory therapist will gather your information and assess your situation in detail. He or she will suggest alternative solutions and direct you to the resources and services best suited to your needs.

All Côté Santé respiratory therapists are members of the Ordre professionnel des inhalothérapeutes du Québec. They are all sleep-trained and work under the supervision of lung specialist Katéri Champagne.

When to consult ?

This service is for you if :

  • you think you have sleep apnea and want to discuss it with a qualified professional
  • you are experiencing discomfort with your CPAP or bi-level device and would like to know about possible improvements to your treatment.
  • you'd like to explore alternatives to improve the quality of your sleep.

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.

01

Opening a file

During a 10-minute telephone consultation, our team will gather information about your medical history and symptoms in order to refer you to the right professional. An appointment with a general practitioner will be made in less than 3 weeks if necessary to assess the situation and establish an adapted action plan.

02

Course of the meeting

The 20 to 30-minute meeting takes place by phone or virtually. The general practitioner will assess your symptoms related to sleep disorders and may adjust or prescribe a treatment, in particular with regard to CPAP or pressure level treatments (Biniveau). A preliminary questionnaire must be completed prior to the meeting.

03

Action plan

Following the consultation, a member of our team will contact you to guide you in implementing the doctor's recommendations and help you adjust your treatment, if necessary. Personalized follow-up can be offered according to your needs.
