My endeavor
My endeavor is to provide the best possible care for patients.
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.

It was a pleasure meeting Dr. Freedom. I felt that he genuinely cared about my sleep issues and would work with me to help find the cause and then help determine the best course of action. He was easy to talk to, took his time to explain everything to me, and was very thorough. I have already recommended him to friends.

July 27, 2025
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.

Dr. Freedom listened to my comments from over 10 years of illness. He took those comments, previous test results, his own tests done during the appointment, and assessed my situation. He ordered an additional test, and after getting results from that test, he made a diagnosis and subscribed a medication. I recently started the medication. I was very pleased with the way my appointment went.

Dr. Freedom is great. He actively listens, addresses every concern of mine, and treats me at all times with respect, which should be a given but is not the response I get from other doctors, generally. Plus he really knows what he is talking about and came up with multiple suggestions for improving my quality of sleep. I look forward to my visits with him.
