Patient Testimonials
Recently I had a knee injury, for treatment I went to SLG Hospitals. I was hardly walking receptionists and staff members immediately responded and accompanied me to ortho Dr. B.Chakradhar Reddy. He treated me really well and explained me the problem in a very simple neat way. Radiology technicians were also very helpful and supportive. I’m well satisfied with hospitality and over all service.

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that causes one to stop breathing for short intervals during their sleep. If left untreated, it can lead to potentially serious repercussions on long-term health.
There are two types of sleep apnea:
Obstructive sleep apnea is a result of a blockage of the airway caused when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses during sleep.
Central sleep apnea is related to the functioning of the central nervous system and is caused by the brain’s failure to tell the body to breathe while asleep.
