Integrated Sleep Apnea Treatment
Across Medicine, ENT, Dentistry, OMFS
At NSU Health in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Stanley Liu offers a full pathway of care for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), from diagnosis through long-term management. SDB spans snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
When surgery is indicated, options include nasal surgery, preservation UPPP, maxillary expansion (DOME), hypoglossal nerve stimulation (Inspire), and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA). The most important treatment is not a procedure. It is the diagnosis, planning, and long-term management. SDB exists on a continuum, from missed milestones in facial and airway development to the adult condition. Dr. Liu’s approach is guided by the updated Riley-Powell-Liu Stanford Sleep Surgery Protocol.
Dr. Liu is also routinely referred for complex facial trauma and dentofacial deformity requiring orthognathic surgery.
