Due to extensive training and work experience evaluating the most complex sleep cases, I am comfortable and excited to tackle every sleep case, from the most &#8220;common&#8221; complaint to the most challenging cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS (selected)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Park M<\/strong>, Comella CL, Leurgans SE, Fan W, Wilson RS, Bennett DA.
