Stephen L. Matarese, DO, FCCP

“During my teen years I suffered from asthma, and this was one of the main reasons I ended up pursuing a career in respiratory and pulmonary medicine. I wanted to someday help improve people’s health... and their quality of life. Today, as a triple board-certified physician, I get to do this every day, for every patient I see.”

Well-rounded training and experience.
“You can feel confident in knowing that I stay on top of the latest developments in my field and have completed extensive training in sleep medicine, pulmonary medicine and internal medicine. For over 15 years I’ve taken care of many patients who’ve suffered from respiratory illnesses, breathing problems, sleep disorders and more.”

Rest... assured.
“I really enjoy being able to identify a patient’s sleep disorder and determine the most effective solution for their particular needs. I find it personally and professionally rewarding to help people get a good night’s sleep because it can improve their lives in ways they never thought possible. In addition,
I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea about ten years ago, so I can really relate to what my patients are going through.”

Creating a sleep center unlike any other.
“When I decided to open Rhode Island Sleep Institute, I wanted to make it unlike any other facility available. Our private sleep study rooms offer myriad amenities that make you feel like you’re at a luxury hotel, such as full- and queen-sized beds, cable television, designer furniture and more. Helping you feel comfortable and relaxed can make it easier for you to recreate your at-home routine and sleeping pattern, which means we’ll be able to get the most accurate information possible from your study.”

Highly personalized care.
“My staff and I want your experience at Rhode Island Sleep Institute to be a positive one. We will answer all of your questions and explain your diagnostic exams and any proposed treatment in simple, easy-to-understand language. And we will always treat you with the friendly, personalized care you want and deserve.”
