The Professional Staff

The Sleep Disorders Center is staffed by medical professionals who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, particularly snoring, sleep apnea, and insomnia. These sleep specialists work with patients to find the causes and solutions to these and other sleep problems that may be affecting your job performance, risk for accidents, mood, or self-esteem.

Doctors in the DSM are truly "sleep specialists" with extensive training in sleep disorders and related conditions. They also are physician educators, as faculty members at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) and have appointments in such diverse departments of Internal Medicine, Pathology, Otolaryngology, and Psychiatry. Additionally, the DSM staff maintain close ties to patients' clinical needs, with their offices and clinical facilities located at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and Sentara Bayside Hospital.

DSM staff are also "sleep scientists," continually researching sleep problems and medications. Many times, our patients are the first to benefit from innovative techniques and medications developed to treat their own problems.
