Biography
Dr. Mahrukh Riaz is board-certified in Internal Medicine and completed her residency at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital in New York, where she also served as Chief Resident. She completed her Sleep Medicine fellowship at the University of Maryland. She believes good sleep is the foundation of good health—and it’s often overlooked. Dr. Riaz takes a practical, patient-focused approach to care, working closely with individuals to improve their sleep hygiene and daily routines in a way that fits their lives. She prioritizes sustainable changes over quick fixes and sees sleep as deeply connected to everything from energy levels to mental health.
Her goal is to help patients feel better—not just at night, but during the day too. By combining evidence-based treatment with an understanding of each patient’s lifestyle, Dr. Riaz helps people reclaim their sleep and, with it, their overall well-being.
