Telehealth Consultations
Quality sleep medicine care from the comfort of your home — available throughout California with same-week appointments.
What It Is
Telehealth consultations allow you to see Dr. Desilva through a secure video visit from anywhere in California. You receive the same thorough, unhurried evaluation that our in-person patients receive — the only difference is you don't have to drive to the office.
Virtual visits are ideal for initial consultations, follow-up appointments, treatment plan discussions, and CPAP compliance check-ins. For many aspects of sleep medicine, telehealth is equally effective as in-person care and significantly more convenient.
How It Works
Schedule Online
Book your appointment through our online portal. Same-week appointments are frequently available, and our team will confirm your visit with all the details you need.

Fill out your medical history and sleep questionnaires before your appointment. This allows Dr. Desilva to review your information ahead of time and make the most of your visit.
