Snoring & Sleep Apnea Treatment in Baytown and Greater Houston

Restful Sleep Starts with Expert ENT Care

Why Snoring Isn’t Always Just Snoring

Occasional snoring might just be due to nasal congestion or sleeping position. But chronic, loud snoring, especially when paired with pauses in breathing, choking sounds, or restless sleep, may be a symptom of sleep apnea—a disorder in which your airway becomes partially or fully blocked during sleep. This interruption affects your oxygen levels and sleep cycles, leading to:

  • Daytime sleepiness

  • Poor memory or concentration

  • Morning headaches

  • Mood swings or depression

  • High blood pressure or heart problems

Untreated sleep apnea doesn’t just disrupt your nights—it can pose serious risks to your long-term health. Dr. Hoasjoe brings decades of ENT and airway expertise to help patients throughout Houston, Baytown, and surrounding suburbs manage these risks with precise diagnosis and lasting treatment options.

Comprehensive Sleep Apnea Diagnosis

Identifying sleep apnea begins with an accurate diagnosis. At our Baytown ENT clinic, Dr. Hoasjoe will conduct a thorough sleep and breathing evaluation, including:

  • Review of symptoms and medical history

  • Physical examination of airway anatomy

  • Referral for a sleep study (polysomnography)

Sleep studies can be done either at home using portable devices or in a certified sleep lab, depending on your specific symptoms. Once the results are available, Dr. Hoasjoe will interpret your study and explain the severity of your condition, along with all your treatment options.

Patients from Pasadena, Deer Park, Channelview, and League City rely on our team for clear, compassionate guidance through this often-confusing process.

CPAP Isn’t Your Only Option

For many patients, the first line of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy—a machine that gently blows air into your airway to keep it open. While effective, CPAP isn't for everyone. Some patients find it uncomfortable, noisy, or difficult to travel with.

That’s why Dr. Hoasjoe specializes in CPAP alternatives, including:

  • Surgical solutions that physically open the airway

  • Nasal obstruction correction (such as fixing a deviated septum)

  • Oral appliance referrals for mild-to-moderate apnea

Each treatment is designed to fit your lifestyle, medical history, and sleep goals. Many patients from Pearland, Katy, The Woodlands, and Cypress have found long-term relief and better sleep without relying on a CPAP machine—thanks to Dr. Hoasjoe’s tailored approach.

Snoring Surgery (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and More)

When snoring and sleep apnea are caused by excessive tissue in the throat, surgical treatment may be recommended. Dr. Hoasjoe is skilled in several effective procedures, including:

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)

This surgical technique removes or reshapes tissue from the soft palate, uvula, and throat walls to enlarge the airway. UPPP is often used for patients with moderate-to-severe OSA or those who don’t respond well to CPAP.

Nasal and Airway Surgeries

In some cases, nasal obstructions like a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates can worsen snoring. Dr. Hoasjoe may recommend septoplasty, turbinate reduction, or nasal valve repair to restore clear breathing and reduce nighttime airway collapse.

Pillar Procedures and Laser Surgery

For patients with milder snoring and no sleep apnea, less invasive options such as palatal implants (pillar procedure) or laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty can offer significant improvement with minimal downtime.

Our clinic serves patients from La Porte, Friendswood, Missouri City, Humble, Spring, Tomball, and Clear Lake, helping restore peace and quiet to countless bedrooms across Texas.

Sleep Apnea in Women and Seniors

While sleep apnea is often associated with middle-aged men, women and seniors are increasingly being diagnosed—though their symptoms may differ. Women with sleep apnea often experience:

  • Insomnia

  • Fatigue and anxiety

  • Morning headaches

  • Light snoring without gasping

Older adults, on the other hand, may present with:

  • Cognitive decline

  • Heart irregularities

  • Confusion or nighttime agitation

Dr. Hoasjoe has years of experience treating diverse patient populations. He tailors treatments specifically for older adults, women, and patients with other health conditions, ensuring that each person receives safe and effective care.
