Sleep Medicine

Sleep is essential for physical and mental health, as it allows the body to repair tissues, regulate hormones, and consolidate memories. Adequate sleep supports cognitive function, emotional stability, and a strong immune system, while chronic sleep deprivation increases the risk of serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and depression.

Our practice specializes in sleep disorders and focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions that affect a person’s ability to sleep well. These disorders may include insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy, and circadian rhythm disturbances. The practice typically offers comprehensive sleep evaluations, which may involve home sleep tests, or in-laboratory sleep study (Polysomnogram). Treatment options vary based on the diagnosis and can include lifestyle modifications, therapy, medications, and devices such as CPAP (constant positive airway pressure) machines for managing sleep apnea. The goal is to improve patients’ overall health by enhancing their sleep quality.
