Dr Ira L Shapira and Dr Alex Golbin are teaming up to help patients who do not tolerate CPAP to treat their apnea and snoring with comfortable oral appliances.
United States of America (Press Release) April 15, 2008 --
Dr Ira L Shapira is well known throughout Chicagoland for treating Snoring and Sleep Apnea patients with comfortable oral appliances. Dr Shapira has been treating sleep apnea patients for over 25 years in his Gurnee office. To accommodate the large numbers of North Shore patients who desire alternatives to CPAP he will soon be seeing patients on a limited basis at Sleep and Behavioral Medicine in Bannockburn.
Dr Alex Golbin is the founder of Sleep and Behavioral Medicine and has three offices in Skokie, Vernon Hills and Bannockburn devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea. Dr Golbin is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Academy of Sleep Medicine accredits all of his centers. Doctor Golbin is well known for his book on Children and Sleep and he has the only textbook on Sleep Psychiatry.
Dr Golbin's state of the art offices work with diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea, insomnia, as well as bedwetting in children. Dr Golbin is currently involved in various research protocols that are coordinated through his Vernon Hills office.
Dr Ira L Shapira is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, a Credentialed and Charter member of the Sleep Disorder Dental Society currently the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, a Founding Member of DOSA, the Dental Organization for Sleep Apnea, and the Dental Section Editor of Sleep and Health Journal. Dr Shapira has a chapter on Anti-aging dentistry in an Anti-Aging Medical textbook and several articles published in Sleep and Health Journal on Dental Sleep Medicine. He also holds several patents on devices and methods for minimally invasive removal of developing wisdom teeth and collection of Stem Cells from the jaws.
Dr Shapira became interested in Sleep Apnea treatment because his 3-year-old son had severe snoring and night sweats. His concerns were shared with his son’s physicians who were not concerned. At 5 years old his son was held back from starting kindergarten and Dr Shapira took matters into his own hands and took Billy to Rush Medical School's sleep center and he was found to have severe sleep apnea. His apnea was treated and Billy became a straight "A" student and graduated college with a double major Magna Cum Laude. This experience instilled in him a lifetime interest in sleep disorders. He became an Visiting Assistant Professor at Rush in the sleep service in the 1980's and returned as an Assistant Professor in the 1990's until early this century where he treated sleep apnea and snoring with oral appliances.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine now recognizes oral appliances as a first line treatment of mild to moderate sleep apnea and an alternative treatment for severe apnea in patients who do not tolerate CPAP. The National Sleep Foundation declared that oral appliances are "A Therapy Whose Time Has Come" in their winter 2008 newspaper sleepmatters.
Recent research has shown that sleep apnea can have permanent on brain development in children and that as many as 80% of children with ADHD have sleep apnea. Snoring in adults and children can be a warning sign of serious medical problems and should never be ignored. Sleep apnea is also associated with Enuresis or bedwetting and Dr Golbin has a program that is extremely effective in treating this embarrassing disorder.
Dr Shapira teaches a course on Dental Sleep Medicine to dentists from around the US who come Chicago to learn Dental Sleep Medicine. Dr Golbin gives these dentists an introduction into sleep medicine and teaches them the basics of what occurs in sleep labs.
Dr Shapira can be contacted at his Gurnee office at 1-8-NO-PAP-MASK or at 847-623-5530. More information about sleep apnea and snoring can be found at his website www.ihatecpap.com. If you say "I HATE CPAP!" call today.
