Having trained in Alabama and practiced Sleep Medicine for over 30 years cumulative time in Alabama, Montana, now Georgia in a private practice setting, as well as in Florida, at a VA Medical Center, I have had the good fortune to help thousands of people with their sleep disorders. I like to make my patients comfortable and to listen intently to their descriptions of their symptoms. Finding the intervention that best suits each person individually is the goal of my medical advice. The doctor and the patient are always a team.
Recognizing the shortcomings of the U.S. healthcare system and the opportunities made possible by advances in mobile technology, Dr. Avinesh Bhar left his office-based practice in 2019 to focus on establishing a telemedicine practice founded on high-value and personalized, convenient and cost-effective sleep and pulmonary care.
Dr. Bhar is a fellowship-trained and board-certified in sleep and pulmonary medicine. He has been in practice for over seven years following the completion of his fellowships at Washington University in St Louis and the University of Tennessee, Memphis.
He also holds a MBA from the University of Chicago.
