Dr. Shailesh Vora is a psychiatry, neurology (brain & spinal cord disease), and sleep medicine specialist in Southlake, TX and Carrollton, TX.

"I am normally not compelled to write reviews, but my experience with Dr. Vora was particularly upsetting, and I worry about the effects he might have on others. From the beginning of our Zoom appointment, Dr. Vora would not listen to my concerns, constantly interjecting with a strong, unexplained antagonistic attitude. While I acknowledge that my medication-related queries might have been premature without a thorough medical history evaluation, his comments toward me in response were particularly rude and inflammatory. When I attempted to apologize and explain my reasoning, Dr. Vora continued to interject and proceeded to talk about the many awards he's received, including “top psychiatrist of 2023.” (My appointment was in the middle of 2023.) When searching online for any signs of awards or accolades, the only evidence I could find of some awards were his own website. Regardless of the truthfulness of his claims, they should not have been relevant to the conversation at hand. Dr. Vora's conduct seemed more focused on self-aggrandizing rather than demonstrating empathy or providing patient-centered care, which I find deeply troubling. This review is confined to my personal experience and the services provided. However, I would strongly encourage potential patients to explore additional information available online about Dr. Vora, specifically concerning past licensure suspensions in both Arkansas and Louisiana."

What is Sleep Medicine?

Sleep medicine is the medical field that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to sleep and rest. This can include difficulty sleeping well at night or problems with daytime sleepiness. Sleep medicine specialists treat patients of all ages who need better rest.

When people think of sleep disorders, they often think of insomnia. That's one kind of sleep disorder, but there are several others. In addition to insomnia, a sleep medicine specialist may treat conditions such as:

Sleep apnea
Shift work disorder
Circadian rhythm disorder
Severe or recurrent jet lag
Narcolepsy

Treatments may include medication, light therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, or CPAP therapy. CPAP, which stands for continuous positive airway pressure, is one of the most commonly prescribed treatments. These tiny machines have a tube and mask and blow a stream of air over the face at night, helping patients with snoring or sleep apnea to breathe easily and sleep more soundly.

One important tool often used in sleep medicine is the sleep study or polysomnogram, where patients sleep either in a lab or at home with a monitoring device. The sleep study allows doctors to measure the quality of sleep over an entire night, check for various sleep problems, and identify breathing disorders such as sleep apnea. If performed in a lab, patients will arrive and spend the night sleeping in a bed similar to one in a hotel room. Patients may have electrodes attached to their head and chest to monitor their breathing, oxygen levels, brain waves, and heart rate. Technicians collect the information, which physicians can use to identify and diagnose disorders that have been interrupting sleep.

Not getting enough rest at night makes people feel terrible, can make it difficult to do the things they need to do, and can even put people at higher risk for physical and mental health problems. Feeling tired all the time can be a huge quality of life issue. If a sleep disorder is preventing someone from getting enough rest, a sleep medicine specialist can help them manage the problem so that they have the energy to enjoy their life.
