Finally Sleep Through the Night
Dr. Brian Rotenberg is a specialist in surgery for snoring and sleep apnea — serving patients from London, Ontario and across Canada.
Poor Sleep Is a Health Problem — Not Just an Inconvenience
If you snore loudly, wake up exhausted no matter how many hours you sleep, or have been told you stop breathing during the night — you may have obstructive sleep apnea. It’s more common than most people realize, and more serious than most people know.
Untreated sleep apnea increases your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression, and motor vehicle accidents. It affects your mood, your memory, your relationships, and your quality of life every single day. And for many patients, CPAP — the most commonly prescribed treatment — simply isn’t a sustainable long-term solution.
There’s another option. Dr. Brian Rotenberg has dedicated his career to surgical solutions for snoring and sleep apnea that address the underlying cause — so you can sleep well, without a machine. Book a consultation today.

Surgical Treatments for Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Snoring Surgery
Surgical treatment targeting the soft tissue in the throat that vibrates during sleep and causes snoring. Dr. Rotenberg uses precise, minimally invasive techniques to reduce snoring without unnecessary recovery time. Learn more.
Uvulopalatoplasty
A procedure that reshapes the soft palate and uvula to reduce the tissue that causes airway obstruction and snoring during sleep. One of the most commonly performed procedures for snoring and mild sleep apnea. Learn more.
Expansion Sphincteroplasty
A surgical technique that repositions the muscles at the sides of the throat to widen the airway and reduce obstruction — particularly effective for patients whose airway collapses at the sides during sleep. Learn more.
Turbinoplasty
Surgery to reduce enlarged turbinates — the structures inside the nose that can cause chronic nasal obstruction and mouth breathing, which worsens both snoring and sleep apnea. Learn more.
Rhinoplasty
Surgical correction of the nasal structure to improve airflow and breathing. When a structural nasal problem is contributing to sleep disruption, rhinoplasty can be an important part of the treatment plan. Learn more.
Tonsillectomy
Removal of enlarged tonsils that are blocking the airway and contributing to sleep apnea — a common cause of sleep disruption in both adults and children. Learn more.
Home Sleep Studies
Not sure whether you have sleep apnea? A home sleep study can diagnose the condition from the comfort of your own bed — without an overnight stay in a sleep clinic. Dr. Rotenberg offers home sleep studies as part of the diagnostic process. Learn more.

Common Questions
No. Self-referrals are welcome — you don’t need a referral from your family doctor to see Dr. Rotenberg, though many patients come with one.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which the airway repeatedly narrows or closes during sleep, interrupting breathing and fragmenting your rest. Untreated, it increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression, and motor vehicle accidents.
The right treatment depends on what is actually causing your snoring or sleep apnea. Dr. Rotenberg will review your history, examine your airway, and if needed arrange a home sleep study before recommending a procedure. Book a consultation to find out whether surgery is an option for you.
CPAP works well when it is used, but about 50% of people who are prescribed CPAP don’t like it and stop using it within a few months. If CPAP hasn’t worked for you, surgery may be an option worth discussing with Dr. Rotenberg.
