Crossing the bridge for specialty care is a familiar calculation in South Jersey, and for sleep medicine the math has rarely favored patients, since a long drive usually bought a short appointment. Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Marlton, and Moorestown residents now have a more sensible option, a New Jersey licensed concierge sleep physician who delivers most care virtually, with the option of an in-person evaluation at a Pennsylvania office when it is clinically useful.

The Physician Directing Your Care

Funke Afolabi-Brown, MD, FAASM, holds triple board certification in Pediatrics, Pediatric Pulmonology, and Sleep Medicine, a combination shared by very few physicians in the United States. She completed sleep medicine training at the University of Pennsylvania and served on faculty at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia before establishing her own practice. Fellowship in the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, membership in the American Thoracic Society, and authorship of the bestselling Beyond Tired sit alongside a clinical career approaching two decades. Her expertise has been sought by ABC, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and Sleep Review Magazine, and she is licensed to provide telehealth care throughout New Jersey.

Her practice philosophy grew directly out of what she saw the conventional system missing, the perimenopausal woman whose sleep was falling apart, the child whose behavioral issues were actually a sleep disorder, and the adult who had been on sleep medications for thirty years with nobody asking why. (paraphrased from her About page account)

How South Jersey Patients Receive Care

New Jersey licensure means South Jersey patients can be evaluated, diagnosed, and treated without routine travel. Consultations are conducted by secure video and run a full hour, allowing genuine review of history, prior records, and previous testing. When objective data is needed, home based sleep studies are coordinated so testing occurs in your own bedroom, which suits remote care particularly well. Follow-up happens on a structured schedule with direct access to Dr. Brown between visits, and new patients are typically seen within one to two weeks. Patients who want an in-person evaluation are welcome at the Horsham office, roughly a comparable drive to the specialty centers many already use in Philadelphia.

Common Reasons South Jersey Patients Reach Out

• Persistent Insomnia: months or years of difficulty falling asleep or returning to sleep after waking.

• Sleep Apnea Without Adequate Support: a diagnosis and a machine, but no meaningful follow-up care.

• Women's Midlife Sleep Changes: perimenopausal and menopausal disruption that deserves specific attention.

• Pediatric and Teen Sleep Struggles: night waking, bedtime resistance, bedwetting, and delayed sleep timing.

• Daytime Sleepiness of Unclear Cause: fatigue significant enough to affect driving, work, and mood.

• Restless Legs and Movement Disorders: evening symptoms that make settling into sleep genuinely difficult

What the Process Looks Like

Care begins with a complimentary fifteen minute video call, an honest conversation with no obligation. Patients who proceed complete detailed intake forms and release prior records, then meet Dr. Brown for a comprehensive Sleep Clarity Consultation. A management plan follows, built from cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, PAP therapy support, circadian strategies, and lifestyle counseling as the case requires, and coordinated with your local physicians where appropriate. Longer arcs of care are handled through the practice's structured sleep programs, which are designed to carry patients through to stable sleep rather than a single consultation.
