Evaluation: a comprehensive sleep questionnaire, history, and physical including complete evaluation of the upper airway with a fiber optic laryngoscope to identify the etiology of the snoring or obstructive sleep apnea. If obstructive sleep apnea or other sleep disorder is expected an overnight sleep study either at home or in a laboratory will be performed.

Diagnosis: Once all of the data has been acquired, an accurate diagnosis will be given and a personalized treatment plan will be prescribed.

Treatment: Often involves dietary and lifestyle changes, medication, medical device utilization such as a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device or oral appliance, or surgery addressing the site of obstruction.
