I don’t snore anymore. I have dropped 40 pounds of fat, am absolutely shredded, feeling 25 again and sharper than I ever have. I have never felt better mentally and physically.’ – Stephen Cloobeck (billionaire investor, entrepreneur, philanthropist)

‘I believe Dr. Creado has been helpful in turning around my chronic insomnia which I have had for 35 years. I have responded better to CBT-I then to all the anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications that I have been prescribed. He has also prescribed supplements which I am using. Dr. Creado bases his recommendations on a very detailed history of your sleep difficulties and is very clear when recommending strategies to remedy the problems. I have felt very confident in his care.’
‘Dr Creado gave me my life back.’
‘Dr. Creado, thank you so much for helping me sleep better. For years I was only sleeping 2 - 4 hours a night at the most. Now I am sleeping at least 5 - 6 hours. By following your protocol with lifestyle, supplements, and sleep hygiene, I am doing so much better. I find that my memory is improving and by getting more regular sleep, I feel better in general. I still have a ways to go, but I am very encouraged it is going in the right direction and confident, with your help, I will reach my goal of sleeping 7 - 8 hrs. a night.’
‘I love you as my provider. I feel I can only get better with you. I hope you stuck with me for the long run bc I promise I'm gonna do everything to become one of your greatest successes. You changed my life so much and I am so grateful to have you in my life.’
‘Shane, I really appreciate your guidance in making me the most healthy, happy version of myself I can be. Since our discussions and starting the supplemental regimen you recommended I have been happier, slept better, and had more energy throughout the day. Like you, I believe sleep is at the core of many of our mental and physical issues and my sleep has improved so much that I have noticeably began dreaming again and even had many lucid dreams I remember in the morning. Thank you!’
‘So this functioning brain thing is getting a little freaky. My laser jet stopped printing and Geek Squad couldn't fix it over the phone. While prepping it for the repair shop, I ended up fixing it myself. ME??? Who'd of thought.
Thank you so much for the encouragement. It helps more than you can imagine.’
‘I’ve struggled with sleep for the last 6 years. I was averaging 2-5 hours of restless sleep each night. My general practitioner had prescribed the typical pharmaceuticals that had many side effects and did not get to the root cause of my problems. I have also worked to get my hormones balanced and I still was not 100%.
After working with Dr. Creado, I am finally feeling like a normal person should. Life is so much better when your sleep. Dr. Creado diagnosed my Restless Leg Syndrome and prescribed a non addictive medication that has made a huge difference in my sleep. Dr. Creado has also taught me many sleep strategies to use nightly in addition to some natural sleep supplements.’
‘Dr. Creado is an expert on sleep issues and truly cares about his patients feeling better.’
‘Sleep is a very important part of life. I’ve had great sleep when I started taking the medications that were prescribed to me. Ever since, I’ve had greater energy and a positive look at life. God has blessed me with the help with these professional people.’
‘Dear Dr Creado, I appreciate your care and attention. Your decision to advise me to get a CPAP device was a game changer. I am sleeping better with virtually no apnea incidences. It has given me further motivation to follow additional advice. I appreciate your attention to detail and all the recommendations on diet, fitness, supplements, use of Sauna and hypobaric chamber. You and your assistant are very professional and prompt with your follow ups.’
‘Dr Creado, I wanted to respond to your request for feedback on my experience under your care.
I want to thank you for making such a difference in my life.
Before I had my first appointment with you, I had been dealing with insomnia for approximately 8 months. I was so exhausted mentally physically, Spiritually, that I could hardly process thought any longer.
After you created a treatment plan for me, I started sleeping approximately 6 hrs in the beginning and now I’m up to 9!!
My hope and my prayer is that the sleep will heal my brain, I know it’s a mess, but I rest in Jesus and your care.
It’s important for me to mention that... your gentle nature is what kept me from feeling hopeless about it. That is such an important aspect of your personality and I so appreciate it. It gave me peace.
I am so grateful for your expertise and for you to allow The Lord to guide you as you have guided me. Isaiah 40:11: He will tend his flock like a shepherd he will gather the lambs in his arms. May God Bless you richly in all that you do. Thank you so very much.’
‘I thought I would have to close my dental practice, with my behavior, anxiety and concentration problems. I am once again functioning the way I never thought I would.’
‘Dr Creado, for an initial evaluation, takes 1.5-2 hours, based on the number of issues that need to be addressed, and I never felt more listened, to, in my life.’
‘Dr Creado has done physical therapy, medicine, psychiatry and sleep medicine, and is also knowledgeable in nutrition, supplements, and integrative psychiatry, so he brings all of these into the most comprehensive plan I have ever had.’
‘Dr Creado actually has a good reason for each and every recommendation he has, and he helped me understand these things, which in turn, had me on board with the process.’
‘I incorporated each detail of the plan and am sleeping longer and the quality must be better because I feel a lot better too. I am functioning better in my job as well, which is such a blessing. I would recommend you (and have) to anyone willing to do the hard work to get better sleep.’
‘Dr. Creado! He is an amazing person and doctor and seems to be so committed in solving my sleeping issues! It was a pure pleasure to speak with him.’
‘Dr Creado wrote the entire plan out in great detail, everything from hair heavy metals testing, to hyperbaric oxygen therapy to heal my brain after a traumatic brain injury, which helped.’
‘Dr Creado does not accept insurance, and that is perfectly fine with me, because that allowed him the freedom to use every evidence based tool, to aid in my recovery, which would never have been possible with the traditional insurance model.’
‘Dr Creado brought my son back to us. I cannot thank him enough.’
‘Dr Creado helped me understand that my mental illness, like heart disease, needs to be addressed by evaluating and treating all the things that impact my brain health. I like what he told me, ‘just throwing medications at you, is like putting jet fuel in a broken down car.’’
‘I had insomnia for decades, and I tried every medicine known to man. Dr Creado was the first doctor who identified all the things I was doing wrong – and right, and started getting me OFF medications. I sleep through the night, through the natural approaches he taught me.’
‘As an athlete, I could not find a psychiatrist who could help me with my unique problems, and choose treatment plans that did not create problems when I competed, until I found Dr Creado. He is one of very few doctors, who is a sports psychiatrist, but he is also a sleep doctor. He created a details protocol on helping me reduce jet lag when competing in different time zones.’
‘Dr Creado was the first psychiatrist I met, who wanted me to start getting off medications, rather than on them, as he explained that different medications were just being used to treat the side effects of other medications. I have returned to work, which I never thought possible.’
‘Dr Creado saved my marriage. He helped me and my wife understand why I was behaving the way I was, and how my sleep apnea was contributing to my anxiety and irritability. I am a changed man.’
‘My wife and I wish to express our deep appreciation for Dr. Creado. His sincerity, his kindness, his gracious, and care gave us the ability to speak our mind without any fear. He is not pushy in any way but is very gentle and yet straight forward. His knowledge has been been very beneficial to us in many ways as well as bringing a real encouragement to fight against “memory loss”.’
‘We could say so much more but these few words express our gratitude for a real servant who is looking out for our best interest with a very positive attitude. His presence and profession ability assured us that we are receiving the very best help available.’
‘Super happy with the care I received. Dr. Creado was incredible. Super knowledge, smart, and really knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend!’
‘Dr. Creado - I have been so very pleased with my experience under your care. Your calm demeanor and thorough explanations were so appreciated as we first reviewed my brain scans and questionnaires – in my initial appointment. It was a lot of information to take in, and your patience with me and dedication to ensuring I was on the same page with you as we went through the process, was amazing. (I remember needing quite a bit of repeating and explaining!)’
‘As our visits continued, your compassionate reassurance was so appreciated as my life evolved into an entirely new reality. I am so grateful for your knowledge and expertise in the field of psychiatry and would love to recommend treatment with you to anyone. I have seen countless psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists over the past 20 years and never felt like I was moving forward. I have finally found peace!’
‘I hope my words are better late than never – and hope you know I attribute my wellness to your clinical skill and awareness of me as a whole. I can say I am still “fumbling” forward in my life and truly finding myself, one day at a time. Each day … a little better. Even if the day wasn’t a total “win” I still feel like I’m learning and progressing and am so very proud of that. I was living in quicksand 10+ years when I first came to you, and had absolutely no idea.’
‘THANK YOU for all that you’ve done for me!!!’
‘Dr. Creado, with your guidance, I have seen many improvements in areas I've struggled with for years. The medication and supplement combinations have flowed together well, with very few side effects . They've helped with mood, energy, consistent restful sleep and ability to stay awake. With the depression and anxiety becoming more manageable, life isn't so exhausting and is more fulfilling. Structuring my days through alarms has enabled me to be more productive than I've ever been, feeling more organized and less stressed. I'm able to stay in a flexible rhythm, slowing down and really taking better care of myself by balancing all the life aspects we discussed. The vision therapy has already helped with eye strain, balance, headache and fatigue. You have been very thorough, knowledgeable and detail-oriented, taking great care to address the complete picture of my life. I'm so grateful for your expertise, patiently delivered. You've been so good at answering all my questions. Partnering with you and the clinic has been life-changing. Thank you so much.’
‘Dear Dr. Shane Creado, my experience with you has been awesome! You have helped me with the necessary guidance to my sleep health, and brain health recovery. I’m on the right path and I’m finally starting to feel I have my life back. I truly feel good again. People in my life are starting to notice it as well. It’s so nice going out in public and hear people say you look good. I truly feel blessed to be under your care. Thank you for all your guidance, and care.’
‘Dear Dr. Creado, It is my pleasure to give you feedback on our experience together. I have found in you, a man of integrity, who is knowledgeable, and reliable. You have introduced my sister and I to a new type of treatment. Your recommendations have proved very effective for us. You have been patient and kind as you dealt with our questions. You always spoke clearly and with language we could understand. You were willing to share with us about your life, which made it easy to relate to you more like family, that in turn helped us trust you with our care. I thank the Lord for you and your life’s work. Hope to meet you again someday.’
‘Dr Creado, thanks a lot for being so caring. In this few months under your recommendations I have already seen a lot of improvement. The brain fog has almost gone away and my headaches have improved a lot. My anxiety has also improved a lot. There still is room to improvement but I’m confident it will only get better.
Your recommendations were clear to understand and when I asked why? you explain it in very understandable terms.’
‘I've made the decision to discontinue with the program. I'm feeling great, and I'm at the point where I need to start letting go of the rope and living my life in a healthier and happier way. I greatly appreciate all of your help. Thank you for what you do!’
‘I kept getting worse no matter what I did to try to fix my own problems. Thankfully Dr. Creado was able to determine what was wrong from viewing my SPECT scans and found the right treatment plan for me. This was despite the fact that I don’t think I was very accurate in reporting my symptoms during the initial visit. With treatment, I went from not knowing how I could keep going to now being able to handle a full-time job. I’m feeling completely back to normal now, and am very thankful that my parents took me to the clinic.’
‘First, I want to tell you how happy we are that we were paired with you. Your background in sleep medicine has helped change my life. Listening to your sleep optimization podcasts have greatly improved my quality of sleep.’
‘We have been extremely pleased with the care provided to our daughter by Dr. Creado. Her evaluation and treatment have been a life-changer for her, and my husband and I are so grateful to have our daughter back. She is again a vibrant, joy-filled young woman who engages with those around her. Thank you so much!’
‘Dr. Creado, it is with gratitude that I write this email. Initially, we came to you with concerns for our son's symptoms which mimicked a brain injury. We soon found ourselves in the midst of a crisis that necessitated immediate medical intervention and hospitalization. This medical intervention led us to an extremely negative experience with a psychiatrist from the local hospital. Ironically the information that he provided to us was very similar to your guidance. However, the major difference was your genuine care and concern for our son, your bedside manner was superb ... you connected well with our son and he was able to receive your feedback and guidance. Additionally, your knowledge of his situation, explanation of it, and intervention were outstanding. In addition to his spiritual growth, due to your guidance, in just 6 weeks, our son is now stable and improving steadily. His energy levels have improved, his mental health is stable, and he is even back to working a part-time job. We are so hopeful that he will return to his last semester of college and have an outstanding quality of life. Thank you kindly for your help with our son. We are so very grateful. Cheering you on.’
‘Thank you Dr. Creado for everything. You are a huge part of how far I’ve come from just a short time ago. You've been amazing and put me on a great program. With you, my therapist, and the support of my wife I feel one day I can be 100 percent. The feedback for you is perfection. I think you really narrowed down a huge part of my problem and again with a little more work and help from you, and of course my therapist and wife I will be 100 percent one day. I know there will be good days and bad days but I hope to cope with the bad days and not let them get to me with the tools and medicine and diet and exercise plans. Besides the feedback, and again Dr. Creado I hope you will be my doctor for a long time. I trust you and I have great love for you bc of how much you cared to him get me back to me. My main goal in all of this besides feeling better and even more than feeling better is to have the mind to be the best husband son brother friend I can be. I just want to be a good person to all forever.’
‘From the first meeting with Dr. Creado, I had the impression that not only did he genuinely care about my health, but that he had the knowledge and experience to help me. In our interactions, he has been kind but firmly encouraging to complete the recommendations he gave. If I have questions, he answers them. Even when I don't feel like I am being articulate in communicating my questions, he is able to ascertain what it is, and respond, answering succinctly.’
‘Our experience with Dr. Creado was really good! He was especially gifted in talking with our 18 year old, who was drawn to him easily. After many years of counseling and questions, and several dead ends, we feel like we finally know what is going on with our son. The evaluation process was one that our son finally, reluctantly agreed to. I believe it was in large part to Dr. Creado’s bedside manner and sense of humor that he continued on with the recommended treatment, after being at the clinic. Dr. Creado made our son feel like he wasn’t broken. I am grateful for Dr. Creado’s expertise and influence in our son’s life. He was at a critical place of needing help and we believe we got it. Thank you!!’
‘Hi Dr. Creado, I’ve had a wonderful experience with you as my doctor. You’ve been compassionate, accommodating and attuned to my concerns in a nonjudgmental way.
I am especially grateful for the holistic approach you provided me with, including where to look for answers for existential concerns and questions! That was unique in my experience and a much needed treatment for me was finding answers and framework for existence that made sense at not only an intellectual level but also a spiritual level and that could be implemented at a practical level in life. The fact that you could pick this up in our initial appointment speaks to your insight and your attunement with your patients.
Thank you for the expertise and care that you provide. I’m very grateful.’
‘Dr Creado has been exceptional in his care, consideration, diagnosis, empathy and ability to explain complex issues so we can both understand and act on.
He is a very caring and compassionate Doctor. In our almost 30 years of owning a medical service we employed many MD’s, RN’s, MA’s, MT’s and phlebotomists. We quickly learned that having Dr’s (& all the others) that had the most important quality of good ‘bedside manner’ makes all the difference in the world in patient satisfaction and outcomes. Dr Shane Creado has all the attitudes and skills. We are not only happy and satisfied with him, but I am proud that he is my doctor!’
‘Dr. Creado’s care has helped me to significantly reduce anxiety, take control of my own health and feel the best I have ever felt. His commitment to his patients is steeped in excellence, his techniques really work and he is easy to talk to you. I am so grateful for my experience.’
‘Dr Creado, the testing and evaluations are very thorough and we are very impressed with treatment thus far. You’re doing a great job and my father is very happy you’re his doctor. Can’t wait to see the continued improvement.’
‘Working with Shane has really been wonderful. In my initial appointment his calm, caring demeanor immediately made me feel like I had made the right choice in coming to the clinic for treatment. The treatment plan Shane put together for me has worked wonders and I have been able to commit to it 100% with relative ease.'
'Shane is the first doctor that I've worked with that has been able to kindly break through my anxious thoughts and depression and really guide me in learning new ways of processing stress and healing from past traumas. The amount of confidence I've gained through this process is something I didn't expect and I'm thrilled about it. My favorite part of my whole experience is that I feel empowered and educated to take control of my own brain and health and I know now that I have access to tools to use in the future to keep myself healthy and balanced.'
'Shane's expertise in sleep medicine is also something that I don't take for granted, who knew I'd be diagnosed with insomnia and be able to have a doctor that specializes in that field?!'
'Changing my sleep is really changing my life and for that I wake up grateful every day.'
‘Shane-thank you so much. Your kind review is over the top, again thank you! You are a gentleman and a scholar.’
‘Keep up the good work! It matters. You are unusually engaged and present compared to many of your peers.’
‘Dr. Creado, I have worked with other individuals in mental health to improve my brain and to improve my life outcomes. I have never been successful in having real change. I have had a huge improvement in my life in just 3 short months. I am thinking better, my life is more organized, I feel better than I have in years! Already I have seen great improvement in how I run my business and my life.'
'Dr, Creado is amazing to work with! He has given me steps to improve my health, brain, and life. He is very pleasant to work with and is practical with his advice.'
'I am very appreciative for the amazing help I have received. I am looking forward to the next few months of improving my brain health and my life.’
‘I appreciate that you are able to think outside the medical books, you really listen and pick up on things, are ok with working at my tortoise speed and that you do not make me feel threatened/controlled in anyway. It's confounding - in a good way. So far nothing to change or improve on.’
‘I have been a patient since October 2019. I was placed on a protocol to help me to improve my inability to focus and stay on task. The previous physician placed me on a prescription drug and another supplement that had a very negative and opposite effect of what I needed. It caused me to be lethargic, irritable, and at times having slurred speech, anxiety, and mood swings. My wife contacted the clinic and unbeknownst to me expressed concern about my lack of progress and condition. She then learned that I have an option of changing doctors and after reviewing all the doctor profiles together, she chose hers, and based on what I knew my issues were, I chose Dr Shane Creado. Dr Creado had experience in sleep medicine as well as psychiatric experience. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2014 and knew my sleep pattern was problematic. After spending two initial sessions (one for sleep, one for my brain), Dr Creado set me on a detailed course that has turned everything around for me. In addition to several conventions he pointed me to for my sleep issues, he took me off the medication and supplement I was on and within 2 weeks, I began functioning better and was able to think a little clearer, was much less irritable and the mood swings were gone. I continued on the supplement regimen Dr Creado recommended and feel much better. I now believe we can work on the original issue of my inability to focus and get things accomplished in a timely fashion. Having just completed the follow up call with Dr Creado, I am looking forward to the possible progress I will be able to make with the new instructions given to me today. I deeply appreciate the marked change in my treatment.’
‘I am very pleased with my care from you my only regret is that I can’t know you on a more personal level. I thank you so much for the care I have received so far and appreciate your willingness to listen it is refreshing to have that kind of care. God bless you and will be talking to you soon.’
‘Treatment with the clinic has changed my life. I was moody and down before treatment. After treatment I became very happy and calm. I highly recommend the clinic; they have changed my life.’
‘Amazing!!After collecting all the data (brain scans, background, review of any prior reports, testing results, etc.)...the clinic staff (led by Dr Creado) created a three phase program to deal with a traumatic brain injury I suffered 4 years ago. I felt relief within begin within the first 30days. I continue to follow the regimen that consists of supplements, sleep, diet, oxygen and heat! ...sounds pretty natural?? My prior neurologist simply directed me that "it would take time"....which didn't work. Thank you for giving me a logical path to healing.’
‘After years of seeing many physicians who prescribed medicine which didn’t help, I came to you because I was suicidal, and I knew my brain was different since my car accident. Seeing the SPECT scan proved my brain wasn’t healthy. After 6 months on your treatment plan which included taking medication and vitamins, eating healthy and HBOT, along with other coping strategies, my life has improved drastically. I am healthy and happy. I have much more energy and I sleep soundly with my sleep apnea episodes starting around 30 per hour and are now reduced to 2-4 per hour. I have lost over lost 20 pounds and am able to keep up with my family and cope with the challenges of life. You are an amazing, intelligent, patient and kind physician who listens, empathizes, and understands. You have impacted my life more than you will ever know and I can’t thank you enough for that.’
‘I am very thankful to have found you, Dr. Creado. I appreciate the thorough plan you gave me, and saw significant improvement within the first month of the program. You allowed me to give feedback and recommendations so I felt like a partner in my care. Thank you!’
‘Hi Doctor, I have had many improvements and I give the credit to my workout schedule with my new trainer type of a workout partner. I also give credit to some of the things we mentioned like getting enough sleep, eating clean and healthy, and not overdoing the alcohol. Although the first set of supplements did not work with me, I thank you for all the research and time you put into the best plan for me, and I will begin taking the D3 vitamins when I receive them! Additionally, my classes for the summer went very well, as I received an A and an A-. Thank you again for all the time you put into me!’
‘Dear Dr. Creado, I am so glad that I decided to contact the clinic and was introduced to you. I have never had a doctor do such a thorough evaluation of my health (mental and physical). I was extremely worried that I had dementia coming on or Alzheimer's disease. I was so relieved after my brain scan to learn that I did not. But since my brain scan was abnormal, I wanted to do everything I could to improve the health of my brain. You addressed my mental health and got me off two medications that were not good for me and put me on two medications that are helping me mentally and physically.’
‘You counseled me about improving my sleep, eating healthy, getting exercise that I could handle, guided me to supplements that would benefit me. You ordered lab work that I have never had reviewed before. We have a game plan going forward with other things (brain exercises, etc.) that I will be doing.’
‘Since I have changed my medications and started exercising and sleeping better, I AM FEELING BETTER. I am consistently killing the ANTS when the negative thoughts come in and have reduced the catastrophic thinking. You have been very kind and understanding with me. I appreciate EVERYTHING you have done for me.’
‘You are very knowledgeable and work well with the unique me. I am most impressed by how you not only listen but hear what I say and incorporate it into my treatment. You see my struggles and encourage me without judgment/condemnation. This has changed me in ways way beyond just sleep issues. Initially the goal was to keep my brain functional till death, we are so far beyond that. I see myself as standing a chance and that goals are achievable at my level (not somebody else’s). I am willing to try, (personal ANT: Trying is not enough. I will never attain perfection.) While supplements and medicines are necessary for my brain to function and motivate, the emotional/energetic support without demands has had a most amazing profound effect. How I process ideas is even light years better. So, from the bottom of my heart and my soul's heart - THANK YOU!!!!’
‘I liked Dr. Shane Creado’s detailed “Next Steps” plan. It was easy to follow and I experienced improvement quickly. I appreciated Dr. Creado’s extensive knowledge, kindness and calm approach. Thank you and God bless you!’
‘I like Dr. Creado. He is encouraging. He listens with concern and a great deal of care. He is knowledgeable and informative regarding medicine and supplements. But mostly, I find him to be extremely positive! This has given me hope. I feel that things will get better!’
‘This experience has given me relief in understanding I can live a long healthy life if I follow the my doctors treatment plan. I am finally excited and calm about my future. I have learned so much about brain care and can't wait to feel better! Thank you Dr. Creado for your knowledge and compassion towards me.’
After six weeks, I am seeing marked improvement in falling asleep and staying sleep, thanks to Dr. Creado’s recommendations. He is super qualified to coach in this area. What he says works! (He wrote the book ‘Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes’). I have initiated a multi-pronged approach to regaining a ‘bright brain’ – eating for brain health, taking the brain supplements, walking intensely 5-7 days, sleeping 71/2 hrs and EMDR counseling. Already, I am noticing an improvement in my memory, focus, calmness and energy.'
'Dr. Creado is an excellent psychiatrist. I give him the highest recommendation. He is stellar in his ability to clearly and wisely explain the results of the testing. He listens carefully and is an excellent clinician.'
