     According to recent studies, almost 70 million Americans don’t get enough sleep. Although everyone misses some sleep occasionally, missing sleep on a regular basis can have profound effects on concentration, mood, and general heath. Dr Zolty has a special interest in sleep medicine, and is devoted to solving the sleep problems plaguing many of his patients.  He is board certified in Sleep medicine, both by the American Association of Sleep Medicine and the American Board of Internal Medicine. When treating patients for sleep disorders, Dr. Zolty takes the time to educate patients and works to guide them through the stages of diagnosis and treatment.

     Well-known for his compassionate approach, Dr. Zolty is sensitive to the multitude of facets that may impact a person’s health and well-being. He uses in-depth health histories, physicals, and often sleep diaries and studies to get to the root of his patients’ sleep problems.

     The same quality treatment is extended to patients that are recommended for sleep studies.  Georgia Lung Associates has a twelve bed premium accredited sleep lab located at the Austell location.  
    
 He is particularly interested in diagnosing and treating persistent coughs, particularly coughs that are not solved by initial evaluations and treatment by a patient’s primary care physician.
