Raising the standard-of-care in Texas, Comprehensive Sleep Medicine Associates (CSMA) brings expertise from Stanford University, considered the birthplace of sleep medicine, where Jerald H. Simmons, MD obtained his training. Dr. Simmons-triple board-certified in neurology, sleep disorders and epilepsy-established CSMA, a fullyaccredited and internationally-recognized center-of-excellence with three Houston-area locations. Disorders of sleep include sleep apnea, loud snoring, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome and insomnia, to name a few. These disorders may contribute to conditions such as; chronic fatigue, headaches, ADD/ADHD, TMJ pain, cardiac disease, high blood pressure, heartburn and more. Some sleep conditions are more challenging to diagnose. For instance, daytime-sleepiness and fatigue, caused by increased sleep-related effort-of-breathing, without obvious signs, may go undetected by basic, routine-sleep testing in most sleep centers. But with enhanced techniques, such as those pioneered at Stanford by Dr. Simmons and perfected at CSMA, an accurate diagnosis can be obtained. Dr. Simmons is also the founding-director of the Sleep Education Consortium, a non-profit organization that provides continuing education conferences promoting collaboration between the dentists and physicians. CSMA in its growth has brought on neurologist and Stanford-trained, sleep disorders specialist Gerard J. Meskill, MD. Together, along with their team of Nurse Practitioners collaborate with other medical and dental specialists to ensure all patients obtain optimal care.
