Dr. Haberman was director of Respiratory Therapy and the Pulmonary Laboratory at Santa Monica Hospital from 1973 to 1985 and at Saint John's Hospital and Health Center for 23 years (from 1973 to 1997). Because of the relationship of Sleep Medicine to respiratory disturbances, Dr. Haberman, a notorious snorer, began to pursue this additional career in 1990. Under his direction, a Sleep Disorders Program was initiated at Saint John's Hospital and Health Center in January of 1992.

The Saint John's Hospital site met an early demise with the catastrophic Northridge Earthquake in 1994. However, the program survived to carry on as a freestanding facility at the Saint John's Medical Plaza.

He has added board Certification in Sleep Medicine to his other credentials. Under Dr. Haberman's guidance the center achieved the highest level of Center Accreditation offered by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).

Dr. Norman has had an interest in sleep disorders from very early in his professional career, when he recognized how much of an impact good sleep can make on a person's physical and mental health.

Dr. Norman graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a bachelor of science degree in Neuroscience. He then attended UC Irvine College of Medicine, where his academic excellence was recognized by his election to Alpha Omega Alpha and the National Dean's List. After residency training in Internal Medicine, he completed a dedicated fellowship in Sleep Medicine, both at Harvard School of Medicine's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He then completed an additional fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at UC San Diego Medical Center before returning home to Los Angeles to start clinical practice in Sleep Medicine.

*Dr. Norman is board certified in Sleep Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, and Critical Care Medicine. He has maintained his academic credentials by participating in numerous research studies, lecturing at UCLA, and authoring over 18 abstracts, book chapters, and scientific articles in peer review journals.
