Programs and Services
Sleep Disorders Center
Children with airway obstruction caused by enlarged tonsils or other blockages at the nasal passage can develop obstructive sleep apnea, a breathing disorder that causes short pauses in a child’s breathing. This disruption can result in daytime sleepiness and other complications. Our board-certified sleep medicine specialists expertly diagnose the cause so a treatment plan can be coordinated.
Our Team
We bring together experts from pediatric otolaryngology, as well as support from specialized nurses, speech-language pathologists, social workers and more to create a plan for initial treatment and ongoing care to meet the specific needs of your child.
