History
Great Lakes Sleep Diagnostics (GLSD) was established in 2004 as an alternative to hospital based sleep labs and physician office based sleep labs. The management of GLSD envisioned the need for comprehensive sleep diagnostic services in environments more conductive to quality sleep. Because we specialize in both adult and pediatric sleep testing we believe luxurious hotels provide such an environment. GLSD emphasizes quality service along with a comprehensive age appropriate approach to sleep disorder diagnosis and treatment.
GLSD services are unique in that we are not limited to isolated locations, we provide testing when and where it is needed. Although, we provide services for adults, a big focus of GLSD is the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric sleep disorders. Very few sleep labs provide testing for this age group. Therefore, GLSD is committed to increasing the awareness about pediatric sleep disorders while providing the highest quality of services available. The staff at GLSD is not only experienced but has been instrumental in developing new and innovative ways to treat sleep disorders.
