Our Practice
The goal of our practice is to educate our patients about sleep, it’s importance, and seek to do as little as necessary medically to ensure good sleep length and quality. Although we believe CPAP is the best therapy for sleep apnea, we always listen to what our patients want. After all the treatment of any disease should not be worse than the disease itself. If a patient would like an oral appliance (dental brace) for sleep apnea, we are happy to refer them to good sleep trained dentists in the community if such treatment is medically indicated.
Our clinic also prides itself in treating the entire spectrum of sleep disorders, from insomnia to sleep disordered breathing.
Our excellent, state of the art 4 bed sleep lab is also equipped to test for all sleep disorders in patients aged 2 years and over.
Our clinical staff
Akhil Raghuram, MD (Board Certified Sleep medicine physician)
“I am a Sleep medicine physician and devote a 100% of my practice to treating sleep disorders. I am also not ashamed to call myself a ‘sleep nerd’. Treating patients and hearing success stories brings me joy. Also a full time dad and husband , I love the ‘Couve.”
Caroline L. Tse, MD (Board Certified Sleep medicine physician)
“Prior to starting Sleep medicine fellowship, I completed an Internal medicine residency at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, and served as a hospitalist in Portland, Oregon, for eight years. Working with patients who were acutely ill and hospitalized gave me a better understanding of how important sleep is as a bedrock for health. Importantly, I saw how important quality sleep is in preventing long-term, serious illness. As such, I strongly believe in being able to empower people to take charge of their sleep and their health. Other qualities that this work experience have given me are the ability to communicate effectively and efficiency in care delivery. “
