Dr. William H. Noah
Medical Director
William H. Noah, MD has been practicing sleep medicine and pulmonary medicine in Murfreesboro, TN for 16 years and is medical director of three sleep centers accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), and a fourth which just opened and is applying for accreditation. He is also the medical director of an Accredited Sleep Technologist Education Program (A-STEP) and a Behavioral Sleep Medicine Fellowship program.
His clinical interests in sleep medicine are principally in outcomes, which translates to compliance in positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Dr. Noah developed protocols for PAP therapy administration using cognitive behavioral therapy combined with web-based patient monitoring which achieved objectively-measured compliance rates over 80%. His practice provided the beta-testing for the Philips/Respironics modem technology for PAP therapy. He just completed a study determining the incidence of OSA in collegiate football players, and is beginning one looking at the incidence of OSA in patients presenting to an urologist with erectile dysfunction.
Dr. Noah attended medical school as well as completed his internal medicine residency and chief residency at the University of Tennessee. He completed his pulmonary fellowship at the University of Utah where he was awarded a Parker B. Francis Research Fellowship.
