What happens after you reach out

What to expect at your first visit
1

Tell us what is happening

Request a consultation or call us. Our team will follow up to discuss your questions and arrange the next step. Sending a request does not book an appointment.

2

Meet with Dr. DeSaix

We review your questions, health history, and any sleep study or treatment information you already have. If you need testing, we can help coordinate with a local or online medical sleep provider.

3

Make a plan together

We explain the next steps for your situation. If an oral appliance is appropriate, we discuss fitting, adjustments, and follow-up. A consultation does not commit you to treatment.
