The UCSF Snoring and Sleep Apnea Surgery Clinic specializes in evaluation and surgery for adults and children with snoring or obstructive sleep apnea. We are committed to providing outstanding, comprehensive and state-of-the-art patient care for these conditions while advancing surgical methods through innovation and research.

Each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation – including a detailed medical history, sleep studies and a thorough head and neck exam – before we make our treatment recommendations. Surgery for sleep apnea can reduce snoring, improve breathing during sleep and sleep quality, and lessen health risks associated with the disorder. It also provides alternatives for patients who can't tolerate CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines or other nonsurgical therapies.
