How to choose a sleep doctor in Cork

Start with your referral. In Ireland, many sleep assessments begin with a GP referral to a respiratory or paediatric respiratory specialist. Check whether the provider accepts referrals from your GP and whether the clinic is public, private, or both. Match the specialty to your needs: adults with suspected sleep apnoea are usually seen by respiratory medicine, while children are seen by paediatric respiratory medicine. Ask about waiting times, location, and whether a sleep study is offered on site or referred elsewhere. The directory does not rank providers and does not publish ratings or reviews.

What to expect

A first visit usually involves a clinical history, a physical examination, and questions about sleep habits, snoring, and daytime sleepiness. The clinician may arrange a sleep study, either in a lab or at home, depending on symptoms and availability. Follow-up depends on results and may include treatment options such as positive airway pressure therapy or lifestyle advice. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the NHLBI publish general information about sleep disorders and sleep studies.

Insurance, cost and access

Costs and coverage vary. Public patients may be seen through the HSE system with a GP referral, while private patients may use health insurance or pay directly. Fees, waiting lists, and what is covered differ by clinic and by insurer, so confirm details with the clinic and your insurer before booking. This guide does not list prices because none are provided in the directory data.

Neighborhoods and access

Listed clinics are spread across Cork city areas including Mahon, Wilton, College Road, Bishopstown Road, and the South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital area. Nearby city Limerick is about 53 miles away and has its own listing. Travel and parking details should be confirmed directly with each clinic.

Questions to ask before booking

• Do you accept GP referrals and new patients?
• Is the clinic public, private, or both?
• What sleep tests are available on site?
• What are the typical waiting times for an appointment?
• Which insurers are accepted, if any?
• Is telehealth available for follow-up?
