Chronic insomnia affects about 10% of adults, and poor sleep is one of the most under-treated drivers of mood, metabolic, and cardiovascular problems. Treating insomnia well means finding the root cause — anxiety, shift work, sleep apnea, caffeine or alcohol patterns, chronic pain — and matching treatment to it. Viva Medical Center in Doral, FL starts with a careful sleep history, rules out medical causes, and coordinates treatment across primary care and psychiatry when needed.
Symptoms We Evaluate
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- Early-morning awakening without returning to sleep
- Daytime fatigue, concentration problems, or mood changes
- Loud snoring or witnessed pauses in breathing (suggesting sleep apnea)
- Relying on alcohol or over-the-counter sleep aids

Frequently Asked Questions
What is insomnia & sleep problems?
Chronic insomnia affects about 10% of adults, and poor sleep is one of the most under-treated drivers of mood, metabolic, and cardiovascular problems. Treating insomnia well means finding the root cause — anxiety, shift work, sleep apnea, caffeine or alcohol patterns, chronic pain — and matching treatment to it.
What tests will I need?
Testing depends on your history and symptoms. Common lab panels are covered by your in-network insurance. Our provider orders only the tests that will change your treatment plan.
Does insurance cover this treatment?
Yes for our in-network carriers — Oscar Health, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Medicare Advantage, Ambetter, and UnitedHealthcare. Our front desk verifies your specific plan before the first visit.
Can I be seen by telehealth?
The first visit is usually in-person for a complete exam. Follow-ups, medication adjustments, and lab reviews work well by telehealth for most patients.

It depends on the condition and how you respond. Many patients see improvement within 4-8 weeks of starting a plan; chronic conditions may require ongoing management. Our provider sets clear expectations at the first visit.
