sleep apnea treatment in NYC
A Precision Approach to Sleep Apnea
Dr. Monica Tadros is a double board-certified ENT, facial plastic, and reconstructive surgeon specializing in advanced surgical solutions for sleep apnea. Unlike general sleep clinics, her approach begins with a comprehensive, full-scope evaluation—asking critical questions like whether your oxygen levels drop during sleep and how significant those changes are.
Rather than relying on temporary fixes, she focuses exclusively on correcting the anatomical causes of airway obstruction, offering a long-term, often permanent alternative to CPAP therapy. From nasal and sinus reconstruction to soft palate and tongue base procedures, every treatment is tailored to restore natural breathing and eliminate disruptive symptoms at the source.
If you’ve tried conservative treatments without lasting relief, a diagnosis-driven surgical approach with Dr. Tadros may be your best next step.
What is Obstructive
Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a disorder in which normal breathing is interrupted during sleep due to the blockage of airflow in the upper airway breathing passages. Most commonly, sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat relax as we enter our more restful deep stages of sleep (Stage 3) or our dream state (REM) sleep. Episodes of sleep apnea may occur hundred of times every night and are linked to changes in heart rate, loud breathing sound, and a decrease in oxygen saturation.
Dr. Monica Tadros offers the most advanced upper airway surgery options to reduce the degree of obstruction in the nose. Depending on the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Dr. Tadros may utilize nasal surgeries, palatal surgeries, and tongue-based surgeries to alleviate and treat OSA.
While being the most trusted and respected plastic surgeon in NJ and NYC, Dr. Tadros utilizes her innovative approach to treating OSA. Her enormous experience, coupled with attention to detail, has earned Dr. Tadros one of the most respected reputations in New Jersey.

Determining If Surgery Is Right for You
Individuals who have tried CPAP for several weeks and were unable to tolerate it are usually candidates for sleep apnea surgery. In adult patients, surgery is rarely indicated as a first-line treatment. In children, however, adenotonsillectomy is commonly recommended as first-line therapy for moderate-to-severe cases accompanied by adenotonsillar hypertrophy. When determining whether the surgery is right for you, Dr. Tadros, one of the best sleep disorder doctors in NYC and NJ, will carefully consider the following indications for surgical airway correction of OSA:
- Innaficcinecy of other treatment methods or non-compliance with noninvasive forms of treatment
- An increased respiratory disturbance index (RDI) with significant daytime somnolence (EDS)
- Oxygen desaturations below 90%
- Medical comorbidities such as hypertension and arrhythmias
- Anatomic abnormalities of the upper airway
