Snoring and Sleep Apnea Specialist for Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving, Coppell, Las Colinas
|
Collapse of the upper airway during sleep can cause snoring and/or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Patients complain of chronic snoring and daytime fatigue. Often, an overnight sleep study is performed to confirm the diagnosis.
Dr. Thomason and Dr. Zhou will carefully examine each patient to determine the cause of the obstruction--which may vary considerably from person to person. Therefore, the treatment will be highly individualized to achieve the best success rates.
