I am looking for a good board certified sleep doctor in Los angeles grand area. I live in San Gabriel area but am willing to go to any GOOD doctor in the grand LA county area that you can recommend.

Someone who takes the time to understand my sleep problem and is an expert in this field (diagnosis and knowing the sleep machine technology well) is definately what I am looking for.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I remembered a while back that someone has a list of all Board certified Sleep doctors indexed by the town name or zip code...

Can someone help on this. Thanks a lot in advance.

that list probably came from the absm.org (American Board Sleep Medicine) website, they have since removed the "search" by State, sort by City "search" which is kind of a stupid thing to do for us patients wanting to find a board certified doctor.

BEFORE they removed it, you could click on your State, a list appeared sorted by City where you could go down the list and find all ABSM diplomats in your nearby city.

I just sent them an email complaining about the missing search,

granted their argument will probably be you need a "referral" from your GP to see a Sleep Specialist, if I was looking I'd want to know which ones were available in my nearby area.

As a patient it should be your choice in making that final decision as to which doctor you see.
