How can I find the best ENT for sleep apnea treatment in Singapore?

Doctor's Answers 1

thanks for the D2D!

That is a tough question! “The best ENT doctor” would depend on what the patient specifically needs, prefers and feels comfortable with. Some patients do not get to choose outside their insurance panels.

Thus, there will not be one doctor who is best for everyone.

Many patients rely on word of mouth recommendations from doctors or fellow patients they trust. You can also look up the individual websites of the clinics, and take time to read carefully to see if the way the doctor practices and if the services match your needs.

For example, if you are looking for a diagnosis and simple measures to manage your sleep apnea, that would be very different from if you need a complex surgery.

How much does sleep apnea treatment cost in Singapore?

Thanks for the D2D. Here are some cost estimates for sleep apnea treatment in Singapore: The initial cost would be the consultation (from $150) and possibly a flexible nasoendoscopy cost (from $250) to determine the levels of obstruction and medical issues that need to be managed holistically. A sleep study is usually needed (from $500 depending on type needed). The costs thereafter would really depend on what type of treatment is, depending on the cause and severity of sleep apnea. Example, medications, CPAP machines, surgery – the cost would differ widely.

What are my options to treat sleep apnea, and how effective is sleep apnea treatment?

thanks for the D2D. Please refer to my reply on “How to treat sleep apnea without CPAP or surgery? ” for conservative first line measures to treat sleep apnea. Additionally, surgical measures may be needed when these conservative modalities do not suffice, or if the patient cannot tolerate the CPAP mask or prefer a surgical option. What I have found to be most importantly, is to tailor treatment for each patient’s medical and anatomical condition, preferences, needs and comfort level. A multidisciplinary and multilevel approach is often needed.
