Sleep Medicine
Poor sleep affects everything from job performance to marital harmony. It can also lead to depression and in some cases may contribute to early death because of accidents, stroke, heart disease and hypertension.

Our highly trained personnel including psychiatry, neurology, gastroenterology and ear, nose and throat specialists, as well as dental surgeons (when needed) use a team approach to treat the 86-plus different recognized sleep problems. Dr. Ryckman is board certified in sleep medicine and pulmonary and critical care medicine, with more than 20 years of experience in sleep-disturbance management.
