Concierge medicine is a membership model of primary care. With Dr. Ruiz, members get 24/7 phone and email access to him directly, along with same- or next-day appointments. For someone in Wilton Manors with a full calendar, that combination means a question can be answered by email in the evening and, if needed, followed by a short visit the next day.
The care itself is the internal medicine you would expect: annual exams, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, preventive screening and the everyday illnesses that interrupt a week. Because he is also board-certified in sleep medicine, sleep is part of that care rather than an afterthought.
Joining is optional. Patients who prefer standard visits can still see Dr. Ruiz for primary care or sleep care, and the office can explain how each arrangement works before you decide.
Early waking, late nights and a busy mind
A common pattern among working professionals is falling asleep fine but waking in the small hours with tomorrow's tasks already looping. Over time, people start dreading bedtime or rely on a glass of wine or a pill to wind down.
Dr. Ruiz treats ongoing insomnia with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or CBT-I, as the first step. It uses a sleep diary, a consistent wake time and practical ways to quiet nighttime thinking. Medicine remains an option when it fits.
If snoring or breathing pauses are part of the picture, he can arrange a home sleep apnea test, or an overnight study in the practice's own sleep rooms. Being only a few miles away makes dropping off a home test device simple, and much of the follow-up can happen by video.
