Overview

With over 21 years of experience as a licensed physician across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio, I am dedicated to providing top-tier respiratory and sleep care to both adult and pediatric patients. To offer the most comprehensive care possible, I am uniquely board-certified in five specialties: Sleep Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical Care, Internal Medicine, and Pediatrics.

My clinical practice is driven by a deep passion for innovation. I hold an MS in Clinical Research from Case Western Reserve University and founded Stern Reach Partners to develop cutting-edge medical technologies. Through this work, I have served as the Principal Investigator on over 100 clinical trials for conditions like narcolepsy, COPD, asthma, and bronchiectasis.

In 2010, my wife Asha and I founded Advanced Respiratory and Sleep Medicine, PLLC (ARSM) to bring expert care directly into our local communities. Since then, ARSM has become the trusted choice for referring physicians and area residents alike, and we have proudly treated more than 50,000 patients.

I believe high-quality care should be easily accessible. That is why ARSM offers a premier At-Home Sleep Testing program, bypassing the stress and high costs of traditional, overnight hospital lab stays. We provide a highly affordable, insurance-friendly option with hassle-free scheduling and rapid results, fast-tracking your path to a better night's sleep. I look forward to working with you.
