A prescription also guarantees that the patient receives the most suitable treatment for their condition, as sleep apnea can have serious health implications and requires a thorough medical evaluation.<\/p><p>If you are having difficulty seeing a general practitioner, note that a dentist or a specialized nurse practitioner can also prescribe this test.<\/p><p>Additionally, each of our clinics offers a <strong>15-minute pre-evaluation by phone<\/strong> with a respiratory therapist.
