A good sleep doctor?
Molly asks via Twitter:
anyone know of a good sleep specialist in #albany? I've already done a sleep study, just need a doctor for check ups/treatment
Not sleeping well can really mess up your health and the way you feel. (We know people who've gotten treatment for a sleep disorder and it's made a big difference for them.)
So, know of a good sleep doctor in the area? Please share.
Earlier on AOA:
+ Ask AOA: A good doctor to treat Lyme disease?
+ Ask AOA: Suggestion of a doctor for migraines?
+ Ask AOA: A good doctor, preferably female?

I'd say this very much depends on what diagnosis came out of your sleep study. Sleep apnea will have a different treatment and kind of doctor (maybe an Ear, Nose & Throat specialist) than other forms of sleep disorders. I went to Paul Glovinsky, a psychotherapist (not M.D.) who specializes in sleep disorders, for light therapy to reboot my dysfunctional sleep/wake patterns and chronic insomnia.
Didn't the people who conducted your sleep study give you a referral list?
Whatever your situation is, I feel for you. Sleep disorders can take a terrible toll on your health as well as your personal and professional life.

I see Dr. Kuhar at Albany ENT for sleep apnea. I use a CPAP. I see her once a year.
