Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea refers to a disorder in which a person experiences periods of interrupted breathing during sleep due to obstruction of the breathing pathways. If untreated, it may cause severe complications such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and poor functioning in the daytime.
You may be required to visit a head and neck doctor in Kuala Lumpur or Petaling Jaya if you experience:
- Loud, habitual snoring
- Difficulty breathing during sleep
- Paused in breathing
- Morning headaches
- Daytime drowsiness or sleepiness
- Poor memory or lack of concentration
- Irritability or mood swings
In case of such symptoms, you should consult a sleep apnea specialist in KL or PJ to be diagnosed and treated.
Our Sleep Apnea Services
The ENT Doctor offers a forward-thinking, ENT-led intervention and diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. In addition to CPAP treatment, we focus on assessing and treating the structural factors that contribute to airway blockage. Our services include:
Tonsillectomy
Removal of enlarged tonsils that promote obstruction of the airways.
Partial Epiglottidectomy
Surgical trimming of the epiglottis when it collapses and blocks the airway during sleep.
Adenoidectomy
Removal of adenoid tissue located at the back of the nose to provide a larger airway
Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE)
A sleep test, a diagnostic test performed under sedation, is used to compare airway constriction during sleep.
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)
This is an operation that removes surplus tissue and enlarge the throat to give a wider airway.
Snoreplasty
Minimally invasive to stiffen the soft palate and reduce snoring.
The Tongue, Coblation Channelling.
Minimal insult of reduction of the tongue base tissue during coblation technology.
Home Sleep Study Coordination
We conduct home-based sleep research to provide a convenient and effective diagnosis of your surroundings in a comfortable setting.
Robotic-assisted Lingual Tonsillectomy
Extraction of lingual tonsils with high accuracy at the tongue base with the help of a robot.

If you notice these symptoms, it may be a sign of a sleep-related breathing disorder. Consulting an ENT specialist can help identify the cause and provide effective treatment options for better sleep and overall health.

At The ENT Doctor, our approach goes beyond CPAP machines. As an ENT-led centre, we assess and treat the structural causes of sleep apnea, not just the symptoms. Our ENT doctor perform procedures that directly address obstructions in the nose, throat, and tongue base, offering patients long-term solutions. We also provide multidisciplinary care by collaborating with respiratory physicians, sleep specialists, dentists, speech therapists, and dietitians to offer a complete, personalised treatment journey from diagnosis to follow-up
DISE is a diagnostic test performed under sedation that allows our sleep apnea specialists to observe how your airway behaves during sleep. This helps identify the specific sites of obstruction and guides the best treatment plan, whether surgical or non-surgical.
Yes. Our ENT clinic in PJ and KL offers several surgical options depending on the site of obstruction. These include UPPP to widen the throat, tongue base reduction using coblation, robotic-assisted lingual tonsillectomy for precise removal of lingual tonsils, and nasal valve suspension to improve nasal airflow.
Yes, we provide specialised care for paediatric sleep apnea. Procedures like tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are commonly performed in children when enlarged tissues are obstructing the airway during sleep. Our ENT specialists tailor treatments to each child’s condition, ensuring safe and effective care in a supportive environment.

This convenient and cost-effective method is ideal for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea and determining the best course of treatment based on your sleep patterns and oxygen levels.
