Getting a good night’s sleep is essential for your overall health, but many people struggle with ongoing sleep problems. If you snore, feel tired during the day, or wake up gasping for air, you may be dealing with a sleep disorder that needs medical attention.
At ENT & Allergy Associates, our sleep specialists diagnose and treat a wide range of sleep disorders, including sleep apnea and chronic snoring. Our team uses advanced sleep testing and a full evaluation of your airway to identify what is affecting your breathing during sleep.
As ENT physicians, we are uniquely trained to evaluate the entire upper airway, including the nose, throat, and sinuses. This allows us to offer both non-surgical and surgical treatment options based on your specific needs. With convenient locations across New York, New Jersey, and Texas, finding a sleep doctor near you is simple.
You do not have to live with poor sleep. Our goal is to help you breathe easier, sleep better, and wake up feeling refreshed.
Common Sleep Disorders We Treat
Our sleep specialists treat a wide range of conditions that affect your ability to sleep well and feel rested during the day. These conditions often have underlying airway or breathing-related causes that can be evaluated by an ENT specialist.
Common sleep disorders we treat include:
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops during sleep
- Chronic snoring, which may signal airway blockage
- Insomnia, including trouble falling or staying asleep
- Restless leg syndrome, which causes discomfort and disrupts sleep
- REM behavior disorder, which involves abnormal movements during sleep
- Excessive daytime sleepiness, often linked to poor sleep quality
Many patients search for a sleep apnea specialist or snoring doctor when symptoms begin to interfere with daily life. Our team provides comprehensive sleep disorder treatment, starting with accurate diagnosis and continuing through personalized care.
Signs You May Have Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea can often go undiagnosed, but there are common warning signs to watch for. You can start by asking yourself the following questions:
- Do you snore loudly or frequently?
- Do you wake up feeling tired even after a full night of sleep?
- Have you woken up gasping or choking?
- Do you wake up with a sore throat or dry mouth?
- Do you frequently wake up during the night, including to use the bathroom?
- Is it difficult to stay awake while driving or during the day?
- Has anyone told you that you stop breathing while you sleep?
- Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep?
If two or more of these symptoms apply to you, it may be a sign of sleep apnea or another sleep disorder. Seeking care from a sleep doctor is an important next step.
Our ENT specialists can guide you through sleep apnea testing and help you find the right treatment to improve your sleep and overall health.
Sleep Testing, Diagnosis & ENT Evaluation
The first step in treating a sleep disorder is getting an accurate diagnosis. Our team offers convenient and reliable sleep testing options to help identify the cause of your symptoms.
Sleep Testing Options
We provide several types of sleep studies, including:
- Home sleep apnea testing for comfort and convenience
- WatchPAT home sleep testing technology
- Overnight sleep studies when needed
- CPAP or BiPAP titration studies to determine proper therapy settings
- Physician-led sleep evaluations for personalized care
These tests help measure breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and sleep quality, giving your doctor the information needed to create a treatment plan.
ENT Airway Evaluation
Unlike general sleep clinics, our ENT doctors evaluate the full airway to identify structural causes of sleep problems. This includes assessing:
- Nasal blockage or congestion
- Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
- Sinus issues affecting breathing
- Airway obstruction in the throat
By identifying the source of the problem, we can recommend targeted treatment options that go beyond symptom management.
Advanced Treatment Planning
Based on your diagnosis, your care plan may include therapies such as Inspire therapy, CPAP treatment, or surgical procedures like septoplasty or airway surgery. We also evaluate related conditions such as insomnia, REM sleep disorders, and daytime fatigue.
Treatment Options for Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Treatment for sleep apnea and snoring depends on the cause and severity of your condition. Our ENT specialists develop personalized treatment plans designed to improve airflow and restore healthy sleep.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Many patients benefit from non-invasive therapies, including:
- Positive airway pressure therapy, such as CPAP, BiPAP, or Auto PAP
- Oral appliance therapy, including custom mouth guards
- Inspire therapy for certain patients with sleep apnea
- Positional therapy to improve sleep posture
- Lifestyle changes such as weight management and sleep habit improvements
Surgical Treatment Options
When airway structure plays a role, surgical treatment may be recommended. Options include:
- Tonsillectomy
- Adenoidectomy
- Surgery of the palate or pharynx
- Hyoid suspension
- Septoplasty to correct a deviated septum
- Nasal surgery to improve airflow
- Procedures to improve overall nasal breathing
Our goal is to choose the most effective treatment based on your anatomy and sleep study results.
