how can I find a doctor?

How do I find a sleep dr. do they go by a specific name? do I go to my regular pharmisist and have them refer me?  I don't want to be on medication I want a Dr, so that I can understand what going on with me and explain to me what effects can not getting enough sleep have on your mind and body

Thanks very much for your post.  Finding a doctor or hospital can sometimes be difficult.  Just the task of looking for the right person for you  - who accepts your insurance - and is within a reasonable distance. 

 

You might consider using our locator tools and references.  You can find a Doctor/Hospital near you that can service the sleep issues you are having. 

 

Once you find the right person and go to meet him or her, you can discuss the appropriate treatments and next steps for your diagnosis.
