James C. O'Brien, MD, FCCP, Diplomate-ABSM Dr. O'Brien is a medical physician who has been in private practice for 27 years. He first became involved in sleep medicine over twenty years ago when he began to notice that many of his patients, who were not responding to standard medical treatments, actually harbored undiagnosed sleep disorders. Not surprisingly, many of these patients when tested and treated for sleep disorders, improved dramatically and experienced greater than anticipated clinical results. These early and remarkable patient experiences shifted his medical focus towards sleep disorders and achieving healthy sleep. During his medical career, Dr. O'Brien has worked as a primary care physician, pulmonologist and sleep physician and has lectured innumerable times to healthcare professionals in the United States and abroad about sleep disorders. Additionally, he has appeared on many television and radio programs addressing the need for healthy sleep and the early detection and treatment of sleep disorders. Dr. O'Brien received his medical degree from New York Medical College in 1975. He completed his Internal Medicine, Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine training in the Boston area where he resides. Dr. O'Brien is currently board certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine. He is a co-founder and the President of TalkAboutSleep.COM, a patient education website designed for those diagnosed and treated for sleep disorders and sleep professionals. |
