“By the time most patients reach us, they've been through eight failed treatments and a 4-minute appointment. Most insomnia isn't a single condition. It's a pattern. Onset, maintenance, early-awakening: each one points to a different mechanism. Treatment that ignores those years is treatment that wastes them.”

Roster Questions

Before you book, the questions everyone asks.

How are these clinicians credentialed?add

All eight are board-certified in Sleep Medicine through the American Board of Medical Specialties, with primary boards in Neurology, Psychiatry, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or Pulmonology. Credentialed and insured for telehealth across the state list shown on each card via Beluga Health.

What if my state isn't listed for the clinician I want?add

We re-route you to a clinician who is licensed in your state and who treats your sleep pattern. State coverage updates monthly as new licensure compacts come online; if your state isn't covered today, we'll notify you when it is.

Can I verify the NPI and state license myself?add

Yes. Every clinician card links the NPI to the public NPPES registry and provides a state-license-verification link. We don't expect you to take credentialing on trust. We expect you to check.

Do I get to pick my clinician?add

Your assessment routes you to the clinician whose specialty best matches your sleep pattern. If you'd prefer to switch, for state, language, or scheduling reasons, you can reassign at any time, and your full history transfers with you, not starting over with the new clinician.

Will my clinician actually read my treatment history?add

Yes. Your full assessment, including everything you've tried before and how it went, is reviewed by the assigned clinician before your first consultation. The visit starts at "here's what we know," not at intake.

Are these real sleep doctors, or general telehealth providers?add

Real sleep doctors. Every clinician on this roster completed an ACGME-accredited Sleep Medicine fellowship and holds American Board of Medical Specialties certification in Sleep Medicine. None are general telehealth providers writing prescriptions on a three-minute call.
