Sylvia Balabusta, PA-C
Physician Assistant | Sleep Medicine Specialist
Sylvia specializes in sleep apnea, insomnia, and restless leg syndrome at Rebis Health, bringing a collaborative, patient-centered approach to some of the most disruptive and underdiagnosed conditions in sleep medicine.
Sylvia sees her role as working alongside each patient rather than simply prescribing a path forward. She takes time to understand each person's condition, circumstances, and lifestyle before discussing treatment options, because the best plan is not always the most clinically comprehensive one but the one a patient can realistically follow and sustain. She values open communication, mutual respect, and shared decision-making, believing that the best outcomes come from working as a team.
What that looks like in practice is a care experience where patients feel genuinely heard at every step. Sylvia makes space for questions, revisits decisions when circumstances change, and works to ensure that treatment fits into a patient's real life, not just their chart. For conditions like restless leg syndrome and insomnia that so often go unrecognized or misattributed for years, that kind of attentive, individualized care can make all the difference.

I play a part in making a profound impact on people’s lives in ways that are often unseen but deeply felt. As a PA in sleep medicine, I have the privilege of helping people restore something so basic yet so essential to their health: their sleep. It is a gift to witness someone transform from being exhausted and overwhelmed to feeling like themselves again after getting the right treatment.
