ENT Sleep Disorders & Surgery
The ENT Sleep Disorders and Surgery Program provides comprehensive surgical and non-surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. Designed to give patients immediate access to specialized, tailored care, our program offers multidisciplinary management expertise, including pulmonology, oral-maxillofacial services, health wellness and weight management, and an on-site sleep laboratory.
Once diagnosed with a sleep disorder, our patients gain access to new and innovative medical therapies, devices and technology. Qualifying patients will also have the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge clinical trials of treatments that are not otherwise available.
Sleep Apnea and Snoring
Snoring is a common condition with specific anatomic roots. Obstructed breathing is often the result of excessive throat tissue, a long soft palate, deformities of the nasal septum or other such conditions. As each patient’s case is different, a consultation with an ENT is the best way to identify and treat the underlying causes of snoring.
Snoring can also indicate sleep apnea, a serious condition that deprives the patient of adequate rest; if untreated, sleep apnea can lead to an increased risk of heart disease and other medical issues. Experienced affiliated otolaryngologists can provide the precise diagnosis and management plan necessary to keep sleep disorders from affecting each patient’s health and quality of life.
