We exist to bless your life using our expertise and experience to RESTore the gift of RESTful sleep and to see you RESTrengthened to fulfill your life’s calling

For the last 16 years she has practiced Sleep Medicine exclusively and spent the last 12 years growing the largest pediatric sleep center in the four-state region around Kansas City. More important than her medical experience however is her passion to address the complexity of managing patients with sleep disorders as a chronic illness in a comprehensive way. While most Pulmonologists who are Sleep physicians focus solely on sleep disordered breathing, which she has the  expertise to do by managing the complexities of assisted respiratory devices such as CPAP, BiPap, and advanced modes of non-invasive ventilation, she more importantly recognizes that poor quality sleep is multifaceted. Many patients have more than one sleep disorder that must be identified and managed as well and frequently are associated with other complicating psychosocial and environmental factors which must be recognized and addressed.

Dr. Perry’s commitment to caring for the whole-person mind, body and spirit is what makes her care comprehensive and outstanding. She is known as an excellent listener and sees her patients as partners in finding solutions for their sleep problems. She is committed to finding the healthiest solutions to your problems by weighing risks and benefits within a respectful ongoing conversation. Dr. Perry prefers behavioral solutions over prescription medication when possible and closely follows up when appropriate. She is committed to educate patients thoroughly about their sleep disorder and treatment options.
