3517 NW Camas Meadows Dr Suite #210 Camas Washington, 98607About
I am grateful for the specialty training I received from some of the best in the field of Sleep Medicine. Their passion ignited mine, and I can say without embarrassment that I am a true sleep "nerd". We're really just at the tip of the iceberg on our knowledge of sleep and sleep disorders - with rapidly changing technology and new science from brilliant researchers coming to light daily, it's a cutting-edge field full of excitement ("the final frontier" of medicine, as I often say!). But with all the rapid sprints forward, the practice of Sleep Medicine harkens back to the true fundamental art of medicine - the relationship we can cultivate with our fellow human beings in providing the clues to resolve issues and promote healing. This beautiful juxtaposition of superficially opposing concepts strikes the balance that has been both my motivation and goal in pursuing and practicing in the field (whose Academy symbol, most appropriately, is a yin-yang).
