Northshore Sleep Medicine Remodels Facility to Improve Patient Comfort and Care
Now more than ever, Northshore Sleep Medicine is proud to offer the highest quality of care in a calm, caring environment. Our sleep medicine team has been hard at work renovating the clinic as new owners Dr. Najjar and Dr. Jazayerli enjoy meeting and treating current and new patients. We can’t wait for you to see what we’ve done with the place and experience the love and detail put into every room. The newly decorated rooms for overnight sleep studies offer the very latest in style and comfort. The fresh decor creates a cozy place for an evening stay.
We know people can get anxious about crawling into bed in an unfamiliar setting. Northshore Sleep Medicine wants patients to feel like a guest and to be as comfortable as possible. With hypoallergenic pillows and high-quality mattresses, each room is painted a different color and features unique furnishings and bedding. We’re hoping that patients fall in love with their room and find it feels more personal than any hotel room. Patients may even request to have the same room on their follow-up study.
If you need a follow-up or would like to make an appointment for you or a loved one, give us a call at 847-674-3600 and check out the new look! Check out Our Photo Gallery >>

Welcome Our New Sleep Doctors
The team at Northshore Sleep Medicine is very excited to bring you some wonderful news. As most of you may already know, Dr. Shives has sold the practice and is no longer practicing here. I’m sure that most of you have been eager to learn about what the future of the practice holds. The wait is over.
Two new doctors, Drs. Roukan Jazayerli and Muhammad Najjar, have taken over the Practice. Dr. Jazayerli is a board-certified sleep specialist who completed his residency and fellowship at George Washington University. Dr. Najjar is a board-certified sleep specialist who completed both his residency and fellowship at Louisiana State University. Together, these two fine doctors have more than 20 years of experience in sleep medicine. For more background on the doctors, please see our Sleep Medicine Doctors page.
The process of finding physicians to take over and continue the operations of the Practice was very deliberate and the highest emphasis was placed on finding physicians who would continue to provide excellent medical treatment for our patients. We anticipate that the care you will receive going forward will meet your highest expectations. We have learned from past weaknesses and are moving forward with a new focus dedicated entirely on you, our patient.
We are building a premier sleep center that is dedicated 100% to your sleep needs. With the support and commitment of our new doctors, we hope to regain your trust and create healthier physician/patient relationships.
On behalf of the Practice and all of our physicians, we value the relationship we have developed over the years. We look forward to your suggestions for improvement as we move ahead. We look forward to serving you and your loved ones for many more years to come.
Writer Sleeps Tight at Clinic
Les Jacobson of The North Shore Weekend finds out for himself about sleeping at the clinic: “To find out how such studies work, I volunteered to sleep over at Northshore Sleep Medicine, a private clinic in Evanston,” he writes. “There were wires connected to my scalp, arms, chest, abdomen, fingers, legs — even in my nostrils to monitor my breathing and oxygen levels. After an hour reading, I turned out the light and, suprisingly, fell asleep right away.” See their July 2014 issue or read more here about Les’ sleep study >>
