Snoring & Sleep Medicine

Good sleep is critical to your health and well-being. At Columbia Otolaryngology, we understand the frustration and health risks that come with problems such as sleep apnea or snoring. We work closely with you to understand and treat your particular sleep issue, so you can get the rest you need.

We take a multi-disciplinary approach to all sleep disorders. Our physicians and surgeons collaborate closely with Columbia's Department of Neurology and the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine. At our two sleep centers, your sleep can be monitored overnight with state-of-the-art digital and analog equipment, giving us the information we need to find the right treatment for you.
