Does this sound like you?
I sleep in the guest room –
You never used to snore, but now you sleep in separate rooms, and household members can still hear you through closed doors.
I get claustrophobic –
Maybe you are a side sleeper, but you find it difficult due to the equipment. You may struggle to sleep the entire night with your CPAP, or it may be sitting unused.
I’ve tried everything –
There are multiple CPAP designs and anti-snoring treatments available. We can discuss different treatment approaches during your consultation.
What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?
- One of the most common sleep disorders
- Breathing is impaired or completely stopped due to an obstruction in the upper airway

- A typical sufferer has hundreds of events per night
How common is it?
- 40% of adults over 40 snore (approx. 87 million Americans)
- 18% of men and 8% of women between 30 – 70 suffer from some form of OSA
- Less than 10% of OSA sufferers have been diagnosed
