Does anyone know of a good sleep doctor in the area?

Thanks,
Jim

Can't your regular physician help you out or are you looking for a specialist?

There's a sleep study clinic in the building I work in. It's at 8100 Ashton Avenue in Manassas. If you call information to get their number, they should be able to recommend someone closer to where you are.

You want to visit the Northern Virginia Sleep Diagnostic Center.

They have a couple of docs who specialize in sleep disorders. I see Dr. Lo Russo and would recommend him highly. Am told that Dr. DiCiccico (pronounced De Checko) is also very good.

I'm specifically looking for a narcolepsy specialist (should have mentioned that before).

I used to be a marketer for a sleep center. (We did the sleep studies...We were not dr's!) There are several in the area. I would recommend Neuroscience in Reston. They have several dr's in the practice...they had their own sleep center so I didn't get much business from them, lol, BUT they are all about neurology so that may be up your alley with the narcolepsy. I know one dr name is Peters and another is Cintron...Can't remember the others. They even have a youth practice.

In Leesburg Dr Sabawar (sp?) could probably help you...

In Fairfax Dr Mehndratta (sp?) could also be helpful...

Hope this helps!

Although I am a sleep apnea patient, I am sure that LoRusso and DiCiccio are well versed in narcolepsy.

Also should mention that when I lived in Montgomery County, my ENT doctor told me that Helen Emsellem is absolutely the best person in that area. Here is her practice in Chevy Chase. She does mention narcolepsy as a research area:
