Multidisciplinary Sleep Clinic

When sleep problems affect your health and quality of life, you need more than just a single doctor's opinion. The Rebis Multidisciplinary Sleep Clinic brings together the nation's leading sleep medicine specialists, functional medicine practitioners, airway-focused dentists, and behavioral sleep experts under one roof. Our collaborative approach to sleep health delivers better outcomes because they understand that lasting sleep improvement requires addressing all contributing factors—not just treating symptoms.

Why Multidisciplinary Sleep Care Changes Everything

The sleep and health connection runs deeper than most people realize. Poor sleep doesn't just make you tired—it affects your immune system, hormone balance, heart health, weight, mood, and brain function. Traditional sleep medicine often focuses on just one piece of the puzzle, which is why many patients continue struggling even after receiving treatment.

It can be said that problem-solving in Sleep Medicine is complex, because there is often more than one underlying problem at the root of an individual’s symptoms. To unpack this complexity, our team uses the Five Finger Approach, a structured, patient-centered, and collaborative problem-solving framework that examines all possible contributors to sleep problems. This comprehensive strategy means we don't stop at the first diagnosis—we stick with you to keep co-exploring until we understand your complete sleep health picture.

Sleep affects every system in your body, which is why optimal sleep health requires multiple areas of expertise working together. When your sleep medicine specialist, functional medicine practitioner, and airway focused dentist can collaborate on your care plan, you’ve got a better shot of addressing the root causes of your sleep problems, rather than just managing symptoms.

Complete Sleep Health Services at Rebis

Sleep Medicine Expertise

Board-certified sleep physicians and credentialed Integrative and Functional Medicine physicians oversee our team of specially-trained advance-practice providers to share a language of shared complexity for a full spectrum of sleep disorders, using the latest diagnostic technology and evidence-based treatments. From the complex beast known as Sleep Apnea to insomnia, restless leg syndrome, hypersomnia syndromes, parasomnias & circadian rhythm disorders, the medical team provides comprehensive sleep disorder management.

Integrative and Functional Medicine

The lens of Integrative and Functional Medicine examines the underlying health factors that affect sleep quality—hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, gut health issues, stress response dysfunction, and chronic inflammation. This upstream approach provides insights on why sleep problems developed in the first place, and guides natural, sustainable solutions.

Airway-Focused Dentistry

Airway Focused Dentistry refers to the specialized dental evaluation and treatment of anatomical factors that restrict breathing during sleep. From pediatric airway development to adult jaw positioning, our dental team addresses structural causes of sleep-disordered breathing.

Behavioral Sleep Medicine

Our thoughts, expectations, beliefs, and activity choices can have a profound effect on the quality and quantity of sleep we get. All of our providers are trained to provide personalized, targeted, expert guidance in sleep hygiene, strategies of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), stress management, and lifestyle modifications to support healthy sleep patterns.

Advanced Sleep Testing

At Rebis, we use home sleep studies and comprehensive in-lab polysomnography to provide detailed diagnostic information to guide personalized treatment plans.

Sleep Conditions We Treat

Our multidisciplinary team at Rebis successfully treats a wide range of sleep-related health problems:

  • Obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, “upper airway resistance syndrome”, snoring, and complex sleep apnea requiring multiple treatment approaches–this includes the clinical entity known as “treatment emergent central sleep apnea” (TECSA).

  • Chronic insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, frequent night wakings, non-restorative sleep, and early morning awakening related to stress, hormones, or medical conditions.


  • Delayed sleep phase syndrome, shift work sleep disorder, jet lag recovery, and irregular sleep-wake cycles affecting work and life quality.


  • Childhood sleep apnea, bedtime resistance, night terrors, sleep walking, and developmental sleep issues affecting behavior and learning.


  • Sleep problems related to chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, hormonal changes, digestive issues, and mental health conditions.

  • Restless leg syndrome, periodic limb movements, and other sleep-related movement disorders.

The Five Finger Approach to Sleep Health

We use the peer-reviewed Five Finger Approach methodology to ensure comprehensive evaluation of all factors affecting your sleep. This patient-centered framework examines five key domains within clinical Sleep Medicine:

  1. Circadian Rhythm Assessment - Understanding your natural sleep timing and addressing circadian misalignment

  2. Medication and Substance Review - Identifying how current medications or substances might affect sleep quality

  3. Comorbid Medical Conditions - Evaluating how other health conditions interact with sleep problems

  4. Mental Health and Stress Factors - Addressing psychological contributors to sleep difficulties

  5. Primary Sleep Disorders - Diagnosing and treating specific sleep disorders

This systematic approach prevents the common problem of "search satisficing"—stopping the investigation too early when there may be multiple contributing factors requiring attention.

How Multidisciplinary Sleep Care Improves Health Outcomes

Research shows that collaborative sleep care delivers superior results. Studies demonstrate that multidisciplinary sleep centers achieve higher treatment adherence rates, faster diagnostic resolution, and lower overall healthcare costs compared to single-specialty sleep clinics.

When all your sleep health providers work together using shared assessment tools and treatment protocols, you benefit from:

  • Faster, more accurate diagnosis through comprehensive evaluation

  • Higher treatment success rates because all contributing factors are addressed

  • Better long-term outcomes through coordinated, ongoing care

  • Reduced healthcare costs by avoiding the need to visit multiple unconnected specialists

  • Personalized treatment plans that consider your unique health profile and preferences

The integrated approach also means that if one treatment approach doesn't work perfectly, the team can quickly adjust strategies without starting over with a new provider.

Who Benefits from Multidisciplinary Sleep Care

Adults, teens, and children seeking comprehensive answers about their sleep problems especially benefit from the team-based approach at Rebis. The multidisciplinary model is particularly valuable for people who:

  • Have tried previous sleep treatments without lasting improvement

  • Experience multiple health symptoms that may be sleep-related

  • Prefer natural, integrative approaches alongside medical treatment

  • Want to understand the root causes of their sleep problems

  • Have complex medical histories affecting multiple body systems

  • Are looking for family-centered care addressing multiple family members' sleep health

Parents of children with sleep problems find the collaborative approach especially helpful because pediatric sleep issues often involve behavioral, medical, and developmental factors that require coordinated treatment.

Advanced Sleep Testing and Diagnosis

Rebis offers both home sleep testing and comprehensive in-lab sleep studies to provide the diagnostic information needed for effective treatment planning.

Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT)

Convenient, comfortable sleep testing in your own bedroom using advanced portable monitoring devices. Home testing works well for suspected sleep apnea and provides rapid results to guide treatment decisions.

At Rebis, we embrace precision care for our patients, offering Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT) using the revolutionary SleepImage platform. This platform allows accurate objective efficacy testing for any treatment strategy, including individualized combination therapy. 


Comprehensive Polysomnography (PSG)

Rebis also offers a full suite of in-lab polysomnographic testing options, including standard polysomnography, parasomnia montage testing, and testing for central hypersomnia, using multiple sleep latency testing. 

Full overnight sleep studies in the comfortable Rebis sleep lab provide detailed information about brain waves, breathing, heart rhythm, oxygen levels, and sleep stages. In-lab testing is recommended for complex cases or when multiple sleep disorders are suspected.

In-lab titration of positive airway pressure therapy is also available. Laboratory based testing is available at three elevations: Longmont (5000 ft), Frisco (9100 ft) and Parker (5800 ft), allowing a selection to best approximate the elevation of residence for the patient. This is an important consideration for the patients we serve here in the Front Range and Rocky Mountains.

Specialized Testing

Additional testing options include multiple sleep latency tests for narcolepsy and central hypersomnia evaluation, parasomnia evaluation, maintenance of wakefulness testing for safety-sensitive occupations, and 24-hour circadian rhythm assessments.


Treatment Approaches That Work

Our team utilizes proven, evidence-based treatments tailored to each patient's specific needs and preferences:

Medical Treatments: CPAP and BiPAP therapy with expert fitting and follow-up, oral appliance therapy, sleep medications when appropriate, and treatment of underlying medical conditions affecting sleep.

Functional Medicine Interventions: Targeted nutritional supplementation, hormone optimization, gut health restoration, stress management techniques, and lifestyle modifications supporting natural sleep patterns.

Dental and Airway Treatments: Oral appliances for sleep apnea, pediatric airway development guidance, expansive orthodontia options, myofunctional therapy, and coordination with ENT specialists when needed.

Behavioral and Lifestyle Approaches: Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), sleep hygiene education, relaxation techniques, and personalized sleep schedule optimization.

The Sleep-Health Connection You Need to Understand

Poor sleep quality affects every aspect of your health. When we don't get adequate, restorative sleep, our bodies cannot properly:

  • Regulate hormones controlling hunger, stress, and mood

  • Maintain a strong immune system to fight off illness

  • Process and consolidate memories from the day

  • Repair tissues and clear toxins from the brain

  • Maintain healthy blood pressure and blood sugar levels

  • Support healthy weight management

This is why sleep problems often come with other health issues like weight gain, frequent infections, mood changes, difficulty concentrating, and increased risk for serious conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

The good news is that improving sleep quality can dramatically improve your overall health. When your sleep health team addresses all the factors affecting your sleep, you often see improvements in energy, mood, immune function, weight management, and chronic health conditions.

Research-Backed Excellence in Sleep Medicine

Rebis maintains partnerships with leading academic medical centers and contributes to ongoing sleep medicine research. The team stays current with the latest developments in sleep science and incorporates evidence-based innovations into patient care.

Recent research supporting multidisciplinary sleep care includes:

  • Studies showing 85% patient satisfaction rates with team-based sleep treatment approaches

  • Research demonstrating faster diagnostic resolution when multiple specialists collaborate

  • Evidence that integrated sleep care reduces long-term healthcare costs by addressing root causes

  • Clinical trials supporting the effectiveness of combining medical, dental, and behavioral sleep treatments

Getting Started with Comprehensive Sleep Care

Your journey to better sleep health begins with a thorough evaluation using the Five Finger Approach methodology. During your initial consultation, the team will:

  • Review your complete health history and current symptoms to establish your “sleep-wake narrative”--this is what you’ll be working on, not just one specific diagnosis!!

  • Assess all factors that might be affecting your sleep-wake experience

  • Determine which diagnostic tests would be most helpful

  • Help you create a personalized treatment plan addressing your specific needs

  • Coordinate care among team members to ensure seamless treatment

All of our patients at Rebis with Sleep Apnea are empowered with a shared complexity deconstruction tool called the Five Reasons to Treat (part of a larger multi-platform patient-centered educational project called Empowered Sleep Apnea, created by Rebis Chief Medical Officer Dr. David McCarty and Rebis’ Chief Science Officer Dr. Ellen Stothard). 

The Five Reasons to Treat is a patient-centered collaborative (shared) co-discovery tool that allows exploration of the WHY? of treating the complex disorder called Sleep Apnea, as well as providing a method of reviewing whether the treatments you’re using are actually working the way you want! 

Most patients begin seeing improvements in sleep quality within the first few weeks of starting their comprehensive treatment plan. Our team provides ongoing support and adjusts treatments as needed to ensure continued progress toward optimal sleep health.
