Get to Know Allison Mirike

I am a science nerd with a servant’s heart so healthcare was a natural fit for me. I enjoy getting to know patients and trying to help them understand their health issues and howto improve these issues and hopefully their quality of life. Sleep is incredibly important to our overall health, so helping patients achieve sufficient, quality sleep is our main goal here. They may look different for each patient.

As a medical provider, I listen carefully and try to understand all the factors impacting a patient’s sleep. This could be OSA, lack of sleep, excessive sleepiness, restless leg issues, along with other conditions. We will choose the best testing and treatment options for each patient and follow them closely to make sure their sleep issues are improving.

I grew up in small-town west Texas. I attended Angelo State University and later UTSW in Dallas for my PA studies. I have been a PA for over 25 years and worked in various settings – family practice and internal medicine, women’s health for over 15 years and now sleep medicine.
