ROCHESTER—
Frisbie Memorial’s three Sleep Center physicians have received their board certification in Sleep Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). Pulmonologist, David Reeves, and Neurologist, Gary Usher, are newly certified, while Pulmonologist, Amit Joglekar, received recertification in Sleep Medicine.
To achieve Sleep Medicine certification, providers must demonstrate clinical competence, procedural skills and moral and ethical behavior in the clinical setting. Additionally, providers are required to pass a comprehensive examination to assess knowledge and clinical judgment.
In 2011, Frisbie Memorial’s Sleep Center received national accreditation by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and is the only AASM-accredited sleep center in the greater Seacoast region. AASM-accredited facilities provide the highest quality of patient care and enhance the awareness of sleep as an important element for health, public safety and quality of life.
The Frisbie Memorial Sleep Center diagnoses, identifies and treats sleeping disorders, including conditions such as: insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy, snoring and sleepwalking.
Their primary care provider typically refers patients; however, patients may self-refer if symptoms like snoring, breathing problems during sleep, or persistent insomnia are concerns.
The Frisbie Memorial Sleep Center is located at 235 Rochester Hill Road in Rochester. For more information, please call (603) 994-0013 or visit frisbiehospital.com.
