Finding Sleep Specialists

RE: Finding Sleep Specialists
For verification of sleep medicine being a sub-specialty (only), take a look at the American Board of Medical Specialties' website where there is a chart entitled, "Specialties and Subspecialties." Their website is http://www.abms.org

Sure, I understand that. I guess I should have said that I'm looking for a doctor for whom sleep medicine is the main thing they do, not just an add on to a general pulmonary or neurological practice.
