My previous practice in Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine has narrowed it's focus to predominately Sleep Medicine. Our group in the USF Sleep Medicine Section has developed a multidisciplinary approach to all sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, hypersomnolence (excessive sleepiness), parasomnias such as REM behavior disorder and sleep walking as well as circadian rhythm disorders.

Dr Anderson excels at being very personable and he listens well. He never gives up on me using the cpap machine. He always has alternative solutions to improve my cpap tolerance.
