I have had the honor and privilege of caring for the sickest patients in the Intensive Care Unit as a pulmonologist. My experiences on the front line during the COVID pandemic, including the negative impact of chronic …stress on my mood and sleep quality, inspired me to pivot toward a focus on preventive care. Improving sleep is a crucial component of disease prevention. Combining rapid access via telemedicine with evidence-based Sleep science, I deliver quality personalized care, provided with compassion."-Dr. Kole
