Collaborative airway and sleep care for adult patients in Seattle and Issaquah
Seattle Sleep is accepting referrals for adults with suspected or diagnosed sleep-disordered breathing who need thoughtful evaluation, coordinated care, and long-term follow-through.
This practice was built to complement, not replace, the care you already provide.
 If you’ve heard that Dr. Steve Carstensen retired — he didn’t. Seattle Sleep is his dedicated airway and sleep practice for adults.

Why I Built Seattle Sleep

Thank you for your Trust

Seattle Sleep exists because too many patients fall through the cracks between specialties. Fragmented care, rushed visits, and device-only solutions often leave patients confused, noncompliant, or unchanged.
Our role is to slow the process down, evaluate airway and breathing contributors more deeply, and partner with both the patient and their existing care team to improve outcomes.
Who We Help

Patients Who Benefit Most from Referral

We commonly see adult patients who:

  • Have suspected or confirmed obstructive sleep apnea
  • Snore loudly or experience choking or gasping during sleep
  • Are intolerant of CPAP or struggling with adherence
  • Have ongoing fatigue, brain fog, or daytime impairment despite prior treatment
  • Present with cardiovascular, cognitive, or metabolic risk factors where airway or sleep may be contributory
  • Have bed partners reporting disrupted sleep or concern
We work best with patients who are capable of participation and willing to engage in follow-up.

How We Work

A collaborative, data-driven model

When a patient is referred to Seattle Sleep, we:
  • Gather and review prior sleep studies and relevant medical records
  • Evaluate airway structure, nasal breathing, and functional contributors to sleep-disordered breathing
  • Screen for patterns and risk signals that may warrant further medical evaluation
  • Develop a care plan that may include oral appliance therapy, airway and breathing support, and ongoing monitoring
With patient permission, we share relevant findings and recommendations back to the referring provider. Our goal is transparency and continuity, not siloed care.

Why Refer to Seattle Sleep

What’s different about this model

Referring partners choose Seattle Sleep because:
This model helps reduce “lost to follow-up” patients and increases the likelihood that therapy succeeds outside the clinic.

Patients

are explicitly asked to participate in their own care, improving engagement and follow-through

Evaluations

extend beyond symptom-level treatment to airway, breathing mechanics, and long-term risk


Follow-up

is structured and ongoing, not transactional

Communication

is clear, respectful, and timely

A Shared Goal

Better Sleep, Better Health, Better Coordination

Seattle Sleep is built on the belief that airway and sleep health are shared responsibilities across disciplines. We value collaboration, clarity, and mutual respect.

Thank you for the work you do and for trusting us with your patients when airway and sleep deserve deeper attention.
