Most of my patients are more interested in getting off of sleep medications or prefer not to start sleep medications in the first place. Whether you are taking sleep medications or not, I will help you improve your sleep in the manner you see fit. I can make recommendations and coordinate with your primary care provider or other physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant involved in your care if it seems like changes in your current medication regime would be helpful. -
