My Primary Physician referred me to Dr. Abreu for potential sleep apnea disorder. The long and short of it is that Dr. Abreu found that I did not have a sleep apnea issue; and then proceeded to give me countless tips for improving my sleep. I was amazed at how much time he spent counseling me. His recommendations were easy to understand and practical. I will preferentially seek him out if I ever have an issue in the future related to his specialty.
