Summary

  • I have left the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders after 29 years and have started my new, solo practice of Sleep Medicine, Sleep Health Institute, LLC (dba: Healthy Sleep Institute). At this stage in my career I am focused on the thorough evaluation of each patient to understand their sleep-wake challenges and help them find the best treatment solution. I am allocating 2 hours for new patient visits and 1 hour for follow-ups. Although I am no longer participating in insurance programs, I believe I have set a reasonable fee schedule and will work with any patient in need who requires a sliding scale in order to see me. I see patients with all disorders of sleep and daytime alertness and work with the referring practitioners to fully understand each patient's unique challenges.
