Gabe Tallent, M.D., medical director of Erlanger’s Sleep Medicine and Neurology program, specializes in the treatment of sleep disorders and neurological conditions. Dr. Tallent graduated with a B.S. degree from Berry College in Rome, Ga., and received his medical degree from Mercer University in Macon, Ga. He completed his internship at Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, Ga., and his neurology residency at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fla. Dr. Tallent then trained as a fellow in sleep medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
He is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, as well as a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
“People who experience occasional or frequent problems with sleep are certainly not alone,” says Dr. Tallent. “One-third of all Americans experience a sleep problem sometime in their lives. There are more than 80 sleep disorders, and it takes only one to disrupt your life.”
Sleep disorders can not only prevent one from falling asleep, but also staying asleep. They can also cause morning headaches, excessive sleepiness during the day, high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, moodiness and memory loss. While most sleep disorders are not immediately life-threatening, they can result in serious medical conditions if left untreated. “Fortunately,” says Dr. Tallent, “you don’t have to live with sleep disorders.”
The Sleep Disorders Center at Erlanger North is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and utilizes the latest technology in diagnosing and treating sleep/wake disorders such as insomnia, snoring, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, periodic limb movements, dream enactment behavior and restless leg syndrome. The highly specialized staff, led by Dr. Tallent, is committed to successfully diagnosing and treating sleep disorders in both adults and children, as well as neurological disorders such as headaches, seizures/epilepsy and dementia.
