Jana P. Kaimal, MD, FCCP

Dr. Jana P. Kaimal was born in 1944 in the state of Kerala in India.  After completing high school, college and medical education at the Institute of Medical Sciences in India, he decided to come to the United States to see the world.  By the age of 30, Dr. Kaimal completed his medical residency and training in Pulmonology in Michigan and Ohio.  He became an Assistant Professor at Tulane University.  Dr. Kaimal knew he wanted to go into practice for himself and although he had a medical license to practice in Michigan and Ohio he loved Louisiana so much that he decided to stay in Cajun country. 

 

Once he accomplished his initial goal of establishing a sub-specialty in pulmonary medicine, he went on to become a specialist in Hyperbaric Medicine, Critical Care and finally in Sleep Disorders.

 

In March of 2000 Dr. Kaimal opened the Sleep Disorder Center of Louisiana.  He holds a license to practice in Texas, Louisiana, Michigan, California, Ohio, Georgia and Florida.  Although sleep medicine is his main specialty now he is currently certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary, Sleep Disorders and Sleep Medicine. 

 

Dr. Kaimal is a member of the American College of Chest Physicians and the American Sleep Disorder Association.  He is actively involved in establishing a preventative and complimentary health clinic. 

 

Dr. Kaimal is fluent in English, Malayalam and Hindi.

“Sleepy”

 

Another gator hatched in Lake Charles!  “Sleepy Gator” was hatched at the Sleep Disorder Center of Louisiana located at 4820 Lake Street in Lake Charles in June 2008.  Designed by Roland Corbello of RC’s Custom Paint and Body, Sleepy sports a set of PJ’s and slippers and carries his much needed pillow looking for a good night’s sleep.  Look’s like he found the right place!
