Eye on Health: New way to treat sleep apnea

Sleep apnea is a chronic condition affecting many Americans, but it can be cured. Just ask Beacon Patient Philip Mattair.

“I did my six months check up at the sleep clinic and came out with flying colors,” said Mattair. “Not one snore.”

Mattair had reached his limit after his Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine failed to cure him of his condition. But thanks to his laryngologist Dr. Erin Kevern and her surgical partner Dr. Erin Kevern, Mattair is currently enjoying a quiet and restful night’s sleep due to a simple but effective outpatient procedure.

Learn more about how Dr. Kevern and Dr. Gentile brought Mattair’s sleep journey a fairytale ending in our latest Eye on Health with WSBT.
