Exhaustion that never lifts is rarely just a busy season. Adults across Montgomery County spend years being told their fatigue is stress, their insomnia is anxiety, or their broken nights are simply what parenting and midlife look like. Meanwhile the waiting list for a sleep specialist stretches out six to twelve months, and the appointment, when it finally arrives, lasts fifteen minutes. Families in Horsham, Blue Bell, Ambler, Willow Grove, and Lansdale have a closer option, a concierge sleep medicine practice built specifically to give patients the time and continuity that conventional sleep clinics cannot.

The Physician Behind the Practice

Care is directed by Funke Afolabi-Brown, MD, FAASM, one of very few physicians in the country who is triple board certified in Pediatrics, Pediatric Pulmonology, and Sleep Medicine. She completed her sleep medicine training at the University of Pennsylvania and served on the faculty of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia before founding her own practice. A Fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, she is the bestselling author of Beyond Tired and has been featured by ABC, Forbes, Fox News, and the Wall Street Journal. She is a recipient of both Philadelphia Top Docs and Main Line Top Docs recognition, and she serves on the advisory boards of Baby Center and Project Sleep.

Her decision to leave academic medicine was deliberate. "I realized that practicing sleep medicine in silos was never going to give my patients the holistic care they needed," Dr. Brown says. "The system gave me fifteen minutes and a prescription pad. That wasn't good enough for me, and it wasn't good enough for them." (verbatim, About page)

What Concierge Sleep Care Looks Like in Montgomery County

Concierge sleep medicine means the practice is structured around the patient rather than around insurance throughput. New patients are typically seen within one to two weeks rather than waiting most of a year. Consultations run a full hour, long enough to review intake forms, prior records, previous sleep studies, and the full arc of a person's history. Care continues between visits through direct communication with Dr. Brown and her team, and it continues until sleep actually stabilizes rather than ending when a diagnosis is issued.

The Horsham office sits at 200 Lakeside Drive, minutes from the Willow Grove and Ambler corridors and an easy drive from Blue Bell and Lansdale, which makes in-person evaluation practical for county residents who want to be seen face to face. Telehealth visits remain availablefor follow-up care and for patients whose schedules make travel difficult.

Sleep Concerns Montgomery County Patients Bring In

• Chronic Insomnia: difficulty falling or staying asleep that has persisted for months or years.

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea: snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing, and unrefreshing sleep despite adequate hours.

• Midlife and Perimenopausal Sleep Disruption: night waking, palpitations, and temperature shifts that fragment sleep.

• Pediatric Sleep Problems: bedtime resistance, night waking, and behavioral concerns rooted in poor sleep.

• Restless Legs Syndrome: uncomfortable evening sensations that delay sleep onset night after night.

• Circadian Rhythm Disorders: sleep timing that runs badly out of step with work, school, or family life.

Parasomnias including sleepwalking and night terrors, along with narcolepsy and other disorders of excessive daytime sleepiness, are also evaluated and managed. A full picture of the conditions treated is available on the services overview.

What to Expect as a New Patient

Care begins with a free fifteen minute call, an honest conversation about your sleep and whether the practice is the right fit, with no obligation attached. Patients who move forward complete detailed intake paperwork before a comprehensive Sleep Clarity Consultation with Dr. Brown, which covers history, lifestyle, prior testing, and goals. When objective data is needed, diagnostic services including home based sleep studies can be arranged so testing happens in your own bed rather than a lab. From there, a management plan is built from evidence-based treatment modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, PAP therapy support, and targeted lifestyle work, with structured follow-up through the Restful Sleep Journey program.
