Miami patients reach our Doral clinic in about 15 minutes via the Dolphin Expressway or NW 25th Street. We are an in-network, bilingual option for patients in Brickell, Downtown, Little Havana, and across the city who want physician-led primary, weight-loss, and specialty care without long wait times. Insomnia is difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or early-morning awakening with inability to return to sleep, occurring at least 3 nights per week for at least 3 months — that is chronic insomnia under DSM-5 and ICSD-3 criteria. It is distinct from sleep apnea and must be distinguished from it. About 30-35% of US adults have brief insomnia symptoms each year, and roughly 10% meet criteria for chronic insomnia disorder (AASM 2024). At Viva Medical Center in Doral, FL we evaluate the root cause — anxiety, shift work, sleep apnea, caffeine, chronic pain — and start with CBT-I, the first-line treatment recommended by the AASM. Patients from neighborhoods like Brickell, Downtown Miami, Little Havana reach our Doral clinic in about 15 minutes — close to landmarks including Brickell City Centre and Bayside Marketplace.

What is insomnia & sleep problems?
Insomnia is difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or early-morning awakening with inability to return to sleep, occurring at least 3 nights per week for at least 3 months — that is chronic insomnia under DSM-5 and ICSD-3 criteria. It is distinct from sleep apnea and must be distinguished from it.
How long does treatment last?
It depends on the condition and how you respond. Many patients see meaningful improvement within 4-8 weeks; chronic conditions may require ongoing management. We set clear expectations at the first visit.
