Lisa Shives M.D. Sleep Solutions

If you have trouble falling or staying asleep or you are always tired and sleepy in the daytime even though you sleep at night, I am here to help. For the past 15 years, I have focused exclusively on sleep and wake disorders such as Insomnia, Narcolepsy, Restless Legs Syndrome, REM Behavior Disorder, Circadian Rhythm Disorders, Sleepwalking, Nightmare Disorders and, yes, Sleep Apnea. However, to be frank, I think most sleep doctors do a fine job managing Sleep Apnea, but they don’t prefer to treat all the other disorders. Therefore, I have started a concierge, telehealth practice that focuses on all those challenging sleep/wake disorders that many doctors wish they didn’t have to try to treat. They are the disorders that make me feel challenged and make me feel I am really helping patients. If you are tired of feeling tired, and you would like a doctor who will take your problems seriously, and who will spend the time it takes to understand the physical, emotional, even the spiritual aspect to your ailments, then I am here to help. I very much believe in a collaborative approach with my patients. I encourage them to read and research different medical disorders and treatment options. Healing is often a journey, not a quick fix with a procedure or a pill, and I think of myself as on that journey with the patient, often as a guide and advisor, yes, but often as just a companion and a witness to the process that has brought that person back to a sense of well-being.
