Care philosophy

I look at the entire life of the patient—their medical history, lifestyle, and personal experiences—to understand how these factors affect their sleep. Sleep disorders don’t exist in isolation, and understanding the whole person is key to identifying solutions that truly help.

Once a year I see Dr. Freedom for my neurological health, thoroughly encompassing my mental executive function, sleep apnea/wellness, brain preventive health, and low-level essential tremors. Neurological wellness has become quite important to me as I've aged, so I am particularly happy that this medical discipline is available to me through Endeavor healthcare. Recently I've undergone two neurological adjustments to improve my general brain health. Dr. Freedom made an adjustment to my CPAP equipment to improve the quality of my sleep. And, I started a regimen of Vitamin B12, which improved the caliber of my memory. I'm quite pleased that the status of my memory has improved so greatly-Vitamin 12 was a quick fix. Dr. Freedom always takes great care of me, and I can readily contact him with question through my North Shore Connect account.
