Concierge medicine is mostly about access. Members of the practice's program can call or email Dr. Ruiz directly, day or night, and appointments are usually available the same day or the next. For someone working near Las Olas, that often means a question gets answered before it turns into a missed afternoon.
Because the office sits just south of downtown, a visit does not have to eat the whole day. Many people come in for a focused appointment and are back at their desk soon after. Follow-ups that don't need an exam, like going over lab results, can often be done by video.
The program covers primary care as well as sleep care, so annual physicals, blood pressure checks and new symptoms all go to the same physician who already knows your history. Ask the front desk how membership works.
Tired despite a full night? Where to begin
Plenty of people assume exhaustion is just part of a demanding job. Sometimes it is, but daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, waking up gasping or lying awake for hours can point to a sleep disorder worth checking.
The first visit with Dr. Ruiz is a conversation about your nights, your workdays, your travel and your medicines, plus a physical exam. If sleep apnea is on the table, he may order a home test or an overnight study in the practice's own sleep rooms. If the problem is insomnia, treatment usually begins with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia rather than a prescription.
Frequent travel across time zones can also throw your sleep timing off. That is a recognized sleep problem in its own right, and it can be discussed at the same visit. Visits are available in English or Spanish.
