“Dr. Amer Khan started Sehatu Sleep because he saw how broken sleep care is today.
Sleep is integral to our well-being, yet doctors and patients alike are often left without effective help and guidance.
Dr. Amer Khan is a board-certified Sleep Specialist and Neurologist. He has been practicing sleep medicine for over 17 years.
He received Board Certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology first in Child Neurology, then in Sleep Medicine.
He trained in iRest® (integrative restoration) and CBT-I (Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia), using them in his practice to benefit his many patients with Insomnia and busy minds.”
