Sleep apnea support in Durham, NC area?

[ariana]

My son, in his early thirties, just moved to the Durham-Raleigh area. I am pretty sure he has sleep apnea, but haven't broached the subject with him and expect it will take some doing to get him to follow through on getting diagnosed, and, if need be, treated. Although I have greatly benefited from this forum and always recommend it to others, he is someone who turns to professionals rather than peer support. If anyone here has a recommendation for a doc or practice in that part of North Carolina that they think is good, I'd love to learn about it. I know this is not a topic new to the forum, but if anyone has words of wisdom about what worked for you when broaching the subject with a loved one, especially an offspring, I'd love to hear about that, too. Many thanks. This is tough.

Thank you for the information about Duke Sleep Disorders Clinic! Glad to know you had a positive experience with folks associated with it
. I found it heartening to read that the first doc you listed is himself someone who uses a CPAP, and I think it's cool that they do their sleep studies in a hotel. Wow!
