Hel­lo, I’m Dr. Imran Shaikh, and I’m here to help you achieve your health goals. I spe­cial­ize in sleep med­i­cine and obe­si­ty med­i­cine, focus­ing on a wide range of areas, includ­ing sleep apnea, obe­si­ty, hyper­ten­sion, dia­betes, hyper­lipi­demia, insom­nia, rest­less leg syn­drome, nar­colep­sy, nutri­tion ther­a­py, exer­cise plan­ning, mood dis­or­ders, weight loss med­ica­tion man­age­ment, bariatric surgery coun­sel­ing, and pre­ven­ta­tive care.

My phi­los­o­phy of care cen­ters on pri­or­i­tiz­ing your health through a holis­tic approach. I believe in the pow­er of lifestyle mea­sures — like nutri­tion, exer­cise, stress, sleep and healthy habits — to sig­nif­i­cant­ly impact your well-being. When need­ed, I also incor­po­rate med­ica­tions to sup­port and enhance these lifestyle changes. Togeth­er, we’ll cre­ate a per­son­al­ized plan that address­es your unique needs and helps you achieve a health­i­er, hap­pi­er life. I look for­ward to part­ner­ing with you on this jour­ney to bet­ter health!

Clinical Interests

With­in my spe­cial­ty, I have a par­tic­u­lar inter­est in the com­pre­hen­sive man­age­ment of obe­si­ty and relat­ed meta­bol­ic con­di­tions. This includes not only med­ical weight loss strate­gies and med­ica­tion man­age­ment but also coun­sel­ing and sup­port for bariatric surgery when appro­pri­ate. I have exper­tise in the med­ical man­age­ment of obe­si­ty, includ­ing nav­i­gat­ing the chal­lenges of obtain­ing med­ica­tion approvals and ensur­ing afford­abil­i­ty. I work dili­gent­ly to find the most effec­tive and acces­si­ble treat­ment options for my patients.

I am also deeply invest­ed in diag­nos­ing and treat­ing sleep dis­or­ders, such as sleep apnea, insom­nia, and nar­colep­sy. I am espe­cial­ly focused on treat­ing sleep apnea, using a com­bi­na­tion of lifestyle mea­sures, PAP (Pos­i­tive Air­way Pres­sure) ther­a­py, and oth­er options such as oral appli­ances and hypoglos­sal nerve stim­u­la­tion (Inspire) to find the best solu­tion for each patient. Help­ing patients achieve bet­ter sleep qual­i­ty is cru­cial for over­all health, and I am pas­sion­ate about explor­ing the best ther­a­peu­tic options for each individual. 

Addi­tion­al­ly, I focus on man­ag­ing con­di­tions like hyper­ten­sion, dia­betes, and hyper­lipi­demia, espe­cial­ly as they relate to obe­si­ty and sleep dis­or­ders. My goal is to pro­vide holis­tic care that address­es these inter­con­nect­ed health issues, using a blend of lifestyle inter­ven­tions, med­ical treat­ments, and patient education.

Personal Interests

Out­side of med­i­cine, I enjoy spend­ing qual­i­ty time with my fam­i­ly, espe­cial­ly with my son. I love stay­ing active through exer­cise, whether it’s run­ning, weight lift­ing, or high-inten­si­ty inter­val train­ing. I also have a pas­sion for trav­el, explor­ing new places and cul­tures. In my down­time, I enjoy play­ing the vio­lin and cap­tur­ing moments through pho­tog­ra­phy. These activ­i­ties help me stay bal­anced and bring joy to my life.
