About Corewell Health Sleep Evaluation Services Southfield

Corewell Health Sleep Center is a 16-bed outpatient facility that can accommodate patients of all ages, including infants and children. Our team of sleep experts include board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners for adults and children. Six rooms are dedicated to pediatric patients to support children from infancy on, along with their parents and guardians. Three of those rooms have cribs.

Day tests are performed at the facility (MSLT and MWT) and we can accommodate patients (night shift workers) for daytime sleep studies according to physician orders. We provide studies of all types of Home Sleep Apnea Testing (with exclusion criteria) and PAP/NAP (compliance diagnostic assessment). We treat patients infant and up and are the only sleep center on this side of Michigan that caters to infants.
