    The Silent Roadblock in Your Journey

    Imagine hitting the road, the horizon stretching out before you, but there's a weight pulling you down. It's not the cargo you're carrying; it's the fatigue from nights of interrupted sleep.

    Sleep apnea isn't just an inconvenience; it's a silent barrier that stands between you and your best performance on the road. Those moments when you're struggling to focus, when every mile feels like a marathon, and when the honk of a horn snaps you back to reality?

    That's sleep apnea echoing in your day, affecting not just your work but every facet of your life. It's the unseen challenge that makes every journey harder, every destination farther.

    Navigating the Road to Restful Sleep

    Ever felt like the mysteries of restful sleep are hidden behind a foggy windshield? We're here to clear the path. While the Department of Transportation might not mandate sleep apnea testing as part of the DOT physical, the real journey is about more than just compliance. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) understands the gravity of sleep apnea, granting certified medical examiners the discretion to recommend testing.

    Why? Because they recognize that untreated sleep apnea can be a silent saboteur, potentially compromising your ability to operate a commercial vehicle safely.

    So, what's our role in this journey? We're your co-pilots, guiding you towards understanding and optimizing your sleep. With our advanced sleep study test, we delve deep, unveiling the hidden rhythms and disruptions of your sleep. It's not about mere detection; it's about comprehension. And with this newfound knowledge, you're not just equipped to tackle sleep apnea; you're empowered to transform your nights, ensuring every day on the road is driven by restful sleep.

    Here's what they have to say

    SO much better then going to the Dr's office

    TruCare is amazing!! When I couldn't understand why 2 Dr's we're telling me 2 different opinions, Shemika boiled it down for me in simple terms and by taking the time and helping me figure out what was best for me really gave me strength. She listened, provided choices, was patient with my emotional outbursts and helped me thru a very tough time. All while I was in the comfort of my home. SO much better then going to the Dr's office and waiting forever! Thank you for giving me my peace back!

    She will go far and beyond

    Nurse Shemika helped me understand what the doctor was telling me, she reviewed my lab work and explained to me what I needed to do next, she was on the phone with me during my appointment so communication between myself and the health care provider was clear. As a result I was referred for follow up care compared to go about it alone. She will go far and beyond to assist you with your medical needs.

    I am grateful for her dedication

    I enjoyed the concern and consistency of Mrs. Mitchell while you are under her care. She takes time to answer questions with or without appointments. She is brilliant with respecting the HIPAA Law and respecting patient confidentiality. I like to call her Dr. NP she is the best at what she does. She recommends that you give her a copy of your most recent lab work in order to fulfill her job based on the patient individual needs. Be sure to include allergy test or disclose the information if you are aware of any. Shemika is the first person I call before reaching of to my primary physician, I am grateful for her dedication to her clients/patients and her work. Thank you so much !!!!!
