Which Type of Physician Should Primary Care Physicians Refer to for OSA Diagnosis and Treatment?

Should it be Pulmonologists, ENTs (Ear Nose & Throat physicians) , Dentists, Neurologists or Board Certified Sleep Doctors?

That's a good question Mike. My primary referred me to a Certified Sleep Doctor for a Sleep Study. After my diagnosis I continued to see Board Certified Sleep Doctors, but a visit to an ENT just to see if there is anything he can do to improve my breathing is in my future. My current sleep doc is also a neurologist,.
For "simple OSA" a certified sleep doc sould be sufficient.
