Dr Mataverde choose neurology and sleep medicine because he has always been fascinated with the brain—how it not only gifts our intelligence, but also influences who we are as individuals. He says that sleep itself is largely controlled by our brain and the field of sleep medicine offers many effective treatments that, as a care provider, are gratifying to see positively impact other's lives tangibly. This is why he comes to work each day: to positively affect the health and quality of life of others. Dr Mataverde reveals that his wife has undoubtedly been the biggest influence in his life.

Medicine was a calling for Dr Richens, as it was for many others in his family. Because of his family ties to medicine, he was able to draw from their experiences which led to his decision to pursue his medical degree. Dr Richens chose sleep medicine when he witnessed so many of his patients’ lives improve when they were better rested. Though he provides care for a wide range of sleep needs, he has a special interest in sleep-disordered breathing. Dr Richens says that sleep is essential to all health, which is why he is passionate about helping his patients receive better rest and enjoys watching them return to their former selves. Dr Richens enjoys spending time outside with his family as much as possible.
