About Our Practice

Sleep Medicine Faculty

The Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center (JHSDC) has a rich history, and is among the first accredited sleep laboratories in the United States. The center is made up of a multi-disciplinary team of sleep experts with training in pulmonary, neurology, internal medicine, otolaryngology, anesthesiology, psychiatry, and behavioral psychology. We evaluate and treat conditions such as insomnia, sleep apnea, circadian rhythm disorders, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome. The JHSDC offers services at several sites in the Maryland and D.C. area, including the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, the Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center at Howard County General Hospital, and Sibley Memorial Hospital. The JHDSC is also an accredited ACGME Sleep Fellowship training program dedicated to training the next generation of sleep physicians.
