About me

I am Dr. Mostafa Amiri, a board-certified neurologist and fellowship-trained Sleep Medicine Specialist based in Tehran, Iran. I provide specialized online consultations in Farsi (Persian) and English for patients with sleep disorders and neurological conditions. My main clinical focus is Sleep Medicine. I evaluate and manage chronic insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, early-morning awakening, sleep apnea, snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome (RLS), circadian rhythm disorders, parasomnias, nightmares, sleep paralysis and other complex sleep problems. For patients with chronic insomnia, I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), alongside medical assessment when appropriate. As a neurologist, I also provide consultation for selected neurological conditions, including migraine and headache, Parkinson's disease, attention and concentration problems, memory and cognitive complaints, and other neurological symptoms. Online Farsi / Persian Consultation for Iranians Abroad A significant part of my online practice is dedicated to Iranian and Persian-speaking patients living outside Iran. Many Iranians living in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and other countries prefer to discuss complex sleep or neurological symptoms with a doctor who speaks their native language and understands their cultural background. If you are looking online for a Farsi-speaking neurologist, Persian-speaking neurologist, Iranian neurologist, Farsi-speaking sleep specialist, Persian sleep doctor, insomnia specialist or sleep apnea specialist, consultations can be conducted entirely in Persian. English consultations are also available. Patients may also share previous medical records and relevant investigations for review during their consultation, including sleep studies and neurological investigations when appropriate.

Approach

My approach combines clinical neurology, modern sleep medicine and evidence-based behavioral treatment. Sleep problems are not always purely psychological. Insomnia, excessive sleepiness, abnormal behaviors during sleep, restless legs, snoring and disrupted sleep can have neurological, respiratory, circadian, behavioral, medication-related or psychological contributors. For this reason, I begin with a structured assessment of the sleep problem rather than applying the same treatment to every patient. For chronic insomnia, I may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), one of the best-established non-drug treatments for persistent insomnia. For suspected sleep apnea, narcolepsy, excessive daytime sleepiness, parasomnias or other sleep disorders, the consultation focuses on identifying the most likely diagnosis and determining whether further investigation is appropriate. When patients already have investigations, I can incorporate relevant previous results into the clinical assessment, including polysomnography (PSG), home sleep apnea testing (HST), MSLT, CPAP/APAP reports, laboratory results and neurological investigations when appropriate. Care in Your Own Language Complex medical symptoms can be difficult to describe in a second language. For Iranian patients living abroad, being able to explain symptoms, medications, previous diagnoses and sleep experiences in Farsi can make the consultation considerably easier. I therefore provide online sleep medicine and neurology consultations in both Farsi (Persian) and English, with particular experience working with Iranian and Persian-speaking patients worldwide.
