Expedited Testing & Treatment

Expedited Sleep Testing for Commercial Drivers & Pilots

If your career depends on your certification — whether you're a commercial driver needing DOT compliance or a pilot required to meet FAA medical standards — sleep apnea isn't just a health issue, it's a professional one. Untreated sleep apnea can jeopardize your certification, and delays in diagnosis or treatment can mean delays in getting back to work.


We understand the pressure of tight timelines, and we offer expedited sleep testing and treatment specifically for drivers and pilots who need answers fast. Our team works efficiently to:


  • Schedule and complete sleep testing on an accelerated timeline
  • Provide clear, compliant documentation for DOT or FAA requirements
  • Fast-track treatment options, including oral appliance therapy, to help you meet certification standards without unnecessary delays
  • Communicate directly and clearly, so you always know where you stand in the process


If your job — and your certification — is riding on getting evaluated and treated quickly, we're prepared to move at the pace you need.

How expedited testing works

  1. Call us at (858) 956-7928 and tell us your certification deadline.
  2. At-home sleep test: a small wrist device and a finger ring, worn while you sleep in your own bed.
  3. Diagnosis: a physician reviews your results and confirms the diagnosis.
  4. Treatment: if an oral appliance is right for you, we fit and adjust your custom device and provide documentation of your testing and treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is expedited testing for?

Commercial drivers who need DOT medical certification and pilots who must meet FAA medical standards, along with anyone whose job depends on a timely sleep apnea evaluation.

Who decides whether I can be certified?

Your DOT medical examiner or FAA aviation medical examiner makes the certification decision. We provide clear documentation of your sleep testing and treatment to support their review.

Is the sleep test done at home?

Yes. You sleep in your own bed wearing a small wrist device and a ring on your finger. There are no wires to a lab and no overnight stay.

Do you work with DOT medical examiners?

Yes. We welcome referrals from DOT medical examiners, occupational medicine and providers of every specialty.

Can an oral appliance be used instead of CPAP?

For many adults with obstructive sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance is an effective alternative to CPAP. Dr. Rappaport will discuss whether it fits your diagnosis and your certification needs.
