Sleep Apnea and Surgery with Dr Madan Kandula

What if the best Sleep Apnea ENT solution isn’t surgery?In this episode of SleepTech Talk, we sit down with Madan Kandula, MD, board-certified ENT, founder and CEO of ADVENT, to explore a different approach to treating obstructive sleep apnea, snoring, breathing problems, and other ENT-related conditions.Dr. Kandula challenges the idea that seeing a surgeon must lead to surgery. Instead, the conversation focuses on understanding the whole patient, identifying the underlying causes of their breathing and sleep problems, and finding the treatment that best fits their individual needs.We discuss:• Why surgery is not always the answer• Non-invasive and minimally invasive approaches to obstructive sleep apnea and breathing problems• Why listening to the patient is essential to finding the right solution• The importance of understanding each patient’s struggles, goals, and treatment preferences• Why a patient-centered approach can lead to better care and better outcomes• How putting patients first can also contribute to the long-term success of a healthcare organizationDr. Kandula also shares his perspective on building a different kind of ENT practice—one focused on simplifying the patient journey and offering multiple treatment pathways rather than approaching every problem with the same solution.This conversation goes beyond ENT and sleep apnea. It’s about rethinking healthcare around the person who matters most: the patient.🎙️ Guest: Madan Kandula, MDFounder & CEO, ADVENTBoard-Certified Otolaryngologist – Head & Neck SurgeonYou can learn more about Dr Kandula and Advent at https://adventknows.com/ Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
