We’re here to help you sleep better.

The VCU Health Center for Sleep Medicine is the longest-operating sleep clinic in the Richmond area. We have been testing and treating patients since 1984, and since 1998 at our location in Bon Air. We are now on the Stony Point campus and our center boasts state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment of conditions like snoring, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia and restless leg syndrome.
