Dr. Balderas is so much better than the previous CBT-i guy that I went to that Emory recommended. I finally stopped seeing him after some sleep improvement but not nearly enough improvement. Over the course of the last 5 weeks my sleep duration is slowly improving. Dr. B is very patient and even explains sleep things by sharing graphs and pictures from her computer on the call.
