Dr. Bradford Holland Achieves Milestone in Inspire® Sleep Apnea Procedures

Dr. Bradford Holland Achieves 100 Inspire® Procedures

In a significant milestone for the medical community in Texas, Dr. Bradford Holland, an otolaryngologist at Coryell Health, has successfully completed his 100th Inspire® procedure. This innovative therapy addresses obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition affecting millions of Americans and significantly impacting their quality of life.

Dr. Holland, a well-respected figure in his field, was sworn in as the 161st president of the Texas Medical Association in April and has been recognized multiple times as the Best Otolaryngologist in Waco. With over 25 years of experience, he is dedicated to improving the lives of patients of all ages and is particularly passionate about treating sleep-related disorders.

During a recent health talk, Dr. Holland expressed his gratitude for being able to care for his community through the Inspire® procedure, stating, "I'm humbled and honored to be able to care for my community through Inspire®. Millions of Americans suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, and I'm grateful to play a role in easing patients' breathing, improving their sleep quality, and enhancing their overall quality of life."

What is Inspire®?

Inspire® is the first FDA-approved device designed to treat the underlying causes of obstructive sleep apnea from within the body. Unlike traditional Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines, which many patients find uncomfortable, Inspire® works by delivering gentle stimulation to the tongue and muscles to keep the airway open during sleep. This revolutionary approach has provided relief to many who previously struggled with standard treatment options.

Throughout his career at Coryell Health, Dr. Holland has been proactive in educating the community about Inspire®. He has hosted several informative sessions, including Lunch and Learns, aimed at raising awareness about this innovative treatment and offering insights into managing sleep apnea effectively.

David Byrom, the CEO of Coryell Health, praised Dr. Holland's dedication, noting, "Whether he's in the operating room or teaching the community about Inspire®, Dr. Holland acts as a shining example to everyone at Coryell Health. We're proud of him for helping his 100th Inspire® patient, and we look forward to helping hundreds more. This is just the beginning."
