The Somnomed Appliance is far and away the best relief we’ve found for snorers, and people who sleep with snorers. If you’ve been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea, or you can’t tolerate being tethered to a CPAP machine, we will consult with you, and your MD, to determine whether the Somnomed is right for you. If you’re sick of not sleeping, or not sleeping with your spouse, of getting punched awake ten times a night, you need to call us.

Are you sleepy, irritable, or forgetful during the day? Patients who suffer from sleep apnea often feel unrested, even after a full night's sleep. Sleep apnea can cause symptoms like depression, headaches, unexplained sleepiness and fatigue, mood swings, ADHD, and weight gain. Sleep apnea patients are 20 times more likely to die prematurely than non-snorers, and 4 times more likely to die prematurely than a smoker.

A sleep apnea patient stops breathing for 10 seconds or longer at a time, many times throughout the night, so deep, REM sleep is never fully achieved. For patients who want a comfortable, simple solution to sleep apnea therapy, Dr. Markus recommends the SomnoMed, an adjustable oral appliance that holds the jaw in position to keep the airway open while you sleep.

Testimonial:

Dear Dr. Markus,
During the last several years, my marital relationship of over 40 years was being disrupted by my "snoring". Sleeping in separate beds hurt me deeply.

In looking for a solution, I first visited a ENT doctor who upon examination informed me that I had a deviated septum. So I had that corrected but this did not diminish the snoring.

Next, I went to a pulmonary specialist who sent me for a sleep test which revealed I had mild sleep apnea. The recommendation was for me to use a CPAP apparatus during sleep; however, I cannot tolerate being tethered, so that was not a solution for me.

In desperation, I tried a new ENT doctor who recommended the "Pillar Procedure" which is the implanting of three tiny polyester implants into the soft palate. I had that procedure done and to my dismay there was no change. I was desperate to banish my snoring and bring marital bliss back into my life.

Then I saw your ad. Some months went by before I took the leap to try again. During my consultation with you I became encouraged. I took the SomnoMed device home hoping beyond hope that this was the answer. I went to bed that night with trepidation. Upon morning hubby and I were still in the same bed - WOW! That was a great feeling to me - not having my husband leave during the night because my snoring was keeping him awake. The next few nights I wore the device and got the same results. Each morning I would ask my hubby how he slept and he would say "fine". He didn't know that I was using the SomnoMed device. This device has brought me joy, lifted my spirit and has enriched my well being each day.

Thank you for advertising, thank you for listening, thank you for being so nice!!
