Overview

About Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, which can occur up to 100 times per hour in severe cases. This condition disrupts restful sleep and poses significant health risks if left untreated.


Undiagnosed sleep apnea can lead to a host of serious complications, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, depression, and cognitive impairment. Additionally, the chronic sleep deprivation caused by sleep apnea can result in excessive daytime sleepiness, increasing the risk of motor vehicle accidents and workplace errors.

Prompt diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea are crucial, as effective management can dramatically improve quality of life, reduce associated health risks, and potentially prevent life-threatening complications. Treatment options such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy have shown to be highly effective in managing symptoms and reducing long-term health risks associated with this condition.

This practice has treated me and my husband for about 11 years. Seen me through some very traumatic medical conditions and been the most nurturing professional and caring primary Doctor I’ve had in my lifetime. I consider Dr Zafar an above and beyond kind of person and practitioner. And I absolutely adore her front desk folks!! The absolute best. You will never feel unheard or cared for here.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Zafar for almost 10 years now. She has been there for me through so much. Kind and Compassionate doesn’t begin to cover it. And her team is really kind and caring too. Dr. Zafar does excellent with patient education and answers any and all questions, very easy to talk to. She is your biggest cheerleader when it comes to your health!
