You Deserve Better Sleep

Sleep challenges touch every corner of your life. Maybe you’ve noticed your energy lagging during afternoon meetings, or perhaps your partner has mentioned your snoring has gotten louder. These aren’t just minor inconveniences—they’re signs that your body is working harder than it should be while you sleep.

Obstructive sleep apnea affects millions of people, causing breathing to stop and start throughout the night as airways become blocked. Even if you don’t have full sleep apnea, chronic snoring often signals that your airways are struggling, preventing you from reaching the deep, restorative sleep your body craves. For busy Poolesville residents juggling work, family, and community commitments, quality sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s essential.

At-Home Sleep Testing

Simple, Comfortable, and Clinically Accurate

At Pike & Valega, we make diagnosing sleep disorders easier with at-home sleep apnea testing. No overnight lab stays. No complicated equipment. Just reliable results—delivered from the comfort of your own bed.

We provide the trusted WatchPAT 300 system to our Poolesville patients. This FDA-approved device is worn simply on your finger and wrist, monitoring your breathing patterns, heart rate, oxygen levels, and sleep stages with the same clinical accuracy as hospital-based studies.

The process is straightforward: pick up the device, wear it for one night, then return it. Our team walks you through the setup step by step. Most patients barely notice they’re wearing it, allowing natural sleep while capturing accurate data.

Within days, we’ll have comprehensive results ready for Dr. Pike’s review—no waiting lists, no scheduling around lab availability, just convenient testing on your timeline.

Sleep Analysis & Personalized Care

Expert Review. Clear Answers. Custom Solutions.

Once your at-home sleep study is complete, we partner directly with a board-certified sleep physician who will carefully review your results and provide an official diagnosis. This specialist evaluates key factors such as your breathing patterns, sleep quality, duration, and any signs of airway obstruction.

Once we receive the physician’s diagnosis, Dr. Pike and our team will review the results with you and explain how they impact your health. If treatment is recommended, Dr. Pike will outline your personalized care options—including oral appliance therapy—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

We go beyond surface-level results. Our goal is to uncover even the subtle signs of sleep-disordered breathing to ensure you receive an accurate, reliable diagnosis.

Treatment Options: Oral Appliance Therapy

If you’ve been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea—or if you’re unable to tolerate a CPAP—Dr. Pike offers custom oral appliances as a comfortable and effective sleep apnea treatment, designed to keep your airway open while you sleep.

We use trusted, FDA-approved devices such as:

• EMA® (Elastic Mandibular Advancement) Oral Appliance: A comfortable, customizable device that uses interchangeable elastic straps to gently reposition the lower jaw and open the airway during sleep.
• Silent Nite®: A lightweight, flexible oral appliance designed to reduce or eliminate snoring by keeping the jaw in a forward position and improving airflow.
• TAP® 3 (Thornton Adjustable Positioner): A highly adjustable appliance that allows precise control of jaw positioning, making it an effective solution for treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

These small, comfortable devices are worn like a mouthguard and work by gently repositioning the jaw to prevent airway collapse during sleep.

Making Quality Sleep Accessible

We understand that navigating insurance coverage can feel complicated, which is why we handle the verification process for you. We work with most PPO medical insurance plans and will complete a benefits verification for every patient who completes an at-home sleep study.

Insurance coverage typically includes:

• Most PPO plans are generally accepted
• HMO plans may be eligible under GAP coverage for out-of-network benefits
• We’ll clarify your specific benefits before treatment begins

Our goal is transparency and accessibility—no surprises, no confusion, just clear information so you can focus on getting better sleep.
