NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County Expands Sleep Apnea Treatment with New Hypoglossal Nerve Implant Procedure

A milestone in advancing sleep apnea care at Kings County Hospital!

Congratulations to PAGNY physicians Mahmoud I. Awad, MD, and Rahul Gulati, MD, on successfully performing the first Genio Hypoglossal Nerve Implant at NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County.

This innovative treatment expands options for eligible patients with obstructive sleep apnea who may have difficulty tolerating or benefiting from CPAP therapy.

We’re proud of Dr. Awad and Dr. Gulati for bringing this advanced treatment option to patients in the Brooklyn community and continuing to advance patient-centered care.

Congratulations on this exciting achievement!
