Sleep Apnea Treatment SoCal’s Otolaryngology Experts
If you experience snoring, daytime fatigue, or frequent breathing disruptions while sleeping, you may have sleep apnea—a serious sleep disorder that affects your breathing, energy levels, and overall health. Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke.
At SoCal ENT, we specialize in comprehensive sleep apnea treatments, from lifestyle modifications to advanced therapies like CPAP, Inspire, and surgical options. Our goal is to help you sleep soundly, breathe freely, and wake up feeling your best.
Sleep apnea is a condition in which your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to a blocked or collapsed airway. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurs when the muscles and soft tissues in the throat relax too much, restricting airflow.
Signs & Symptoms of Sleep Apnea:
If these symptoms sound familiar, seeking early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent long-term health complications.

Imagine waking up feeling truly rested, refreshed, and energized—no more grogginess, daytime fatigue, or struggling to stay alert. With the right sleep apnea treatment, you’ll experience deeper, uninterrupted sleep, allowing your body to fully recharge.
Snoring and breathing interruptions will be reduced, improving not only your sleep quality but also the rest of those around you. As your breathing stabilizes during the night, your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and other health complications decreases, helping you protect your long-term well-being. Plus, with better oxygen flow and restorative sleep, your mood, mental clarity, and focus will dramatically improve.
When you take control of your sleep, you take control of your health—so you can wake up each morning feeling strong, clear-headed, and ready to take on the day.
If you experience snoring, gasping for air, or daytime sleepiness, a sleep study can confirm whether you have sleep apnea.
Untreated sleep apnea increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and memory problems. It also leads to chronic fatigue and poor quality of life.
CPAP therapy is the most effective, but for those who cannot tolerate it, Inspire therapy, oral appliances, or surgery can be great alternatives.
In some cases, weight loss or lifestyle changes can improve symptoms, but most patients require medical intervention for lasting relief.
Many insurance plans cover sleep studies and treatment, including CPAP and Inspire therapy. Our team can help verify your coverage.
