Overview

Sleep specialist Kanu Patel is the medical director of the Snoring and Sleep Center Diagnostic and Research Lab in Greenbelt, Maryland. Doctor Patel has received board certification in both Sleep Medicine and Otolaryngology (ENT), the branch of medicine that specializes in the ear, nose, and throat. He has more than 30 years of experience treating otolaryngology and sleep disorders.

Doctor Patel utilizes his years of education, training, and experience to develop individualized treatment plans for each sleep disorder patient. These treatment plans are not only utilized to help patients obtain better sleep. Rather, these treatments are intended to provide lasting, effective results that improve each patient’s overall health and lifestyle. Dr. Patel draws on his experience as the leading ENT doctor in the Greenbelt area to help implement some of the safest and most innovative procedures for the treatment of sleep disorders. Regardless of which therapy is implemented, each treatment plan is personalized to each patient based on their specific medical situation and health requirements.

Dr. Patel and his staff do not believe in merely covering up sleep disorder symptoms with a mask. Their philosophy has always been to treat sleep apnea, and related sleep disorders, as efficiently and effectively as possible. Most sleep centers merely utilize CPAP, since this is now the gold standard treatment for sleep apnea in the field of sleep medicine. However, instead of immediately placing a patient on CPAP therapy, Dr. Patel spends the time to identify the true root of the underlying problem.

The approach of Doctor Patel and his staff is centered around the idea of providing a sleep disorder treatment plan that is based on the individual patient’s budget, lifestyle, and personal anatomy—all in the convenience of one location. When patients arrive at the Snoring and Sleep Center Diagnostic and Research Lab, Dr. Patel and his staff first determine the most appropriate diagnostic test. Depending on the patient’s situation, these tests may be an in-lab sleep study or a home study. Following the diagnostic test, the sleep specialists will then determine the best forms of treatment for the patient’s sleep disorder. Patients are then evaluated of the treatment outcome and monitored for a period of 2 years to ensure that their overall quality of health has improved.

Dr. Kanu Patel earned his Medical Degree from P.J. Medical College in Ahmedabad, India. He then completed his residency at the prestigious Georgetown University Medical Center. Although Dr. Patel focuses on ENT and sleep disorder issues, his particular specializations include the surgical and medical treatment of insomnia, sleep apnea, vertigo, narcolepsy, voice disorders, ear infections, and daytime sleepiness.
