In contrast to just feeling tired, how likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations? (Even if you have not done some of these things recently, try to work out how they would have affected you.) Use the following sleep test scale to choose the most appropriate number for each situation:
0 = Would never doze
1 = Slight chance of dozing
2 = Moderate chance of dozing
3 = High chance of dozing

I have a strong passion for understanding sleep disorders and improving my patients' quality of life. Millions of people are negatively affected by sleep apnea, some unknowingly, and for many years the treatment options were were quite limited and often ineffective. To this end, my additional fellowship training with leading experts at Stanford provided me with the opportunity to research less invasive and more efficacious surgical techniques for the treatment of this disorder. After fellowship, I dedicated my practice to the treatment of sleep apnea, and as one of only a handful of physicians in the world formally trained in the surgical treatment of this disorder, I am thrilled to provide my patients with cutting edge treatment and reliable results. At PSSI, we do not have a "one size fits all" approach. Rather, we custom-tailor treatment plans to each specific patient. In order to determine the source of a patient's symptoms and offer a complete array of treatment options, I carefully examine every patient's airway to determine where the obstruction occurs. Because patients play a vital role in their healthcare, fully understanding the treatment options is vital. As a surgeon and sleep specialist, I provide medical, dental and surgical treatment options, and together, we will choose the option that is right for you. |
