David Rothfuss, PA-C
Physician Assistant | Sleep Medicine Specialist
David specializes in sleep apnea, snoring, and narcolepsy at Rebis Health, with a particular interest in understanding and addressing the root causes of poor sleep rather than managing symptoms alone. Drawing from Rebis Health's integrative model, he looks beyond sleep testing to consider laboratory findings, airway health, weight management, and daily habits that may be quietly undermining sleep quality.
David takes a collaborative, patient-centered approach to care, working closely with each patient to understand their unique symptoms, lifestyle, and health goals before building an individualized treatment plan. He prioritizes making sure patients understand their diagnosis and all available options, empowering them to make informed decisions and achieve sustainable improvements in sleep and long-term health.
What continues to surprise David is how many people have spent years feeling exhausted, assuming it is simply a normal part of aging or the consequence of a busy life. One of the most rewarding parts of his practice is seeing patients realize they do not have to live that way. Collaborating with patients to improve their quality of life through incremental sleep gains is what keeps him motivated every day.

My fascination with sleep medicine began with its profound impact on health—from memory and mood to heart health and metabolism. Sleep is a cornerstone of well-being, essential to nearly every bodily system, yet often overlooked. Historically revered for its restorative power, science now confirms its vital role. I’m passionate about helping people recognize sleep’s importance and guiding them toward better rest as a path to a healthier, more vibrant life.
