Outstanding care and attention

Dr. Zak is an excellent clinician. She was able to see below the surface and diagnose and treat my parasomnia that had been puzzling other doctors. Previous doctors thought I had RBD but Dr. Zak concluded it was actually a trauma-associated sleep disorder-she explained her rationale in a way that made total sense, provided me with clear guidance on my medications and sleep habits, told me what to follow up with other providers about (eg, psychiatry), and was extremely thorough in her assessment overall. I am so, so grateful that she figured out what was going on and what would be effective.
