Philosophy of Care

As a pediatric sleep medicine physician, I believe in blending both behavioral and medical approaches to provide the best care possible. My goal is to help patients improve quality of life through the treatment of sleep disorders. I especially enjoy caring for patients with neurodevelopmental and other neuro-related disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder. I strive to partner with patients and families, share decision making, and provide exceptional care.

I was great.
This doctor happens to be such a professional. It was absolute pleasure to see him. If all doctors were like him, life would be really, really nice.
The doctor has a wonderful way of listening and explaining what he wants to share. I look forward to meetings because he really cares..Sometimes I like to meet the doctor without my son as he has some rough times going on in his life now and is angry with me and his brother. Being a caregiver is not his cup of tea but no one else is available now.
Dr. Aziz is a wonderful and caring doctor. Is quite humorous as well. My father and I laughed a lot with him. He was very professional , informative, and kind. Very humurous as well. My father really liked Doctor Aziz. Thank you so much for all you do Dr. Aziz it does not go unnoticed.
Every aspect from check-in to Dr. Appointment to check-out was professional, warm and courteous.
