Parrish Healthcare is Pleased to Announce Dr. Alphonse Pecoraro is Now Performing the Inspire Procedure for Sleep Apnea Patients at Parrish Medical Center

TITUSVILLE, FL (May 18, 2023) – Alphonse Pecoraro Jr., MD, FACS, board-certified general surgeon with Parrish Medical Group joins Parrish Healthcare’s team of specially trained surgeons certified to perform the Inspire procedure. Inspire is the only obstructive sleep apnea treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration. It works inside your body to treat the root cause of sleep apnea with just the click of a button.

Inspire works while you sleep. It’s a small device placed during a same-day, outpatient procedure. When you’re ready for bed, simply click the remote to turn Inspire on. While you sleep, Inspire opens your airway, allowing you to breathe normally and sleep peacefully.

Sleep Apnea is a prevalent condition. “Many people avoid seeking treatment because they are apprehensive about using a continuous positive airway pressure machine also known as a CPAP. Inspire offers an alternative therapy option for those who are unable to tolerate CPAP,” said Michele Roberge, Parrish Sleep Disorders Center manager.

Since introducing Inspire to the Brevard County community in January 2021, the Parrish Sleep Disorders Center has screened and referred hundreds of patients for this treatment. Board-Certified Otolarynologist (ENT) Jayesh Patel, DO, helped pioneer this program at Parrish Healthcare; the success is undeniable.

“We are thrilled to have Dr. Pecoraro join the team to perform this service,” said Roberge. “It will help more sleep apnea patients to receive this innovative, effective treatment. Our patients will experience not only better sleep, but a better quality of life.”

Dr. Pecoraro’s office is located at Parrish Healthcare Center at Titus Landing, 250 Harrison Street, Titusville, FL 32780. To learn more about Dr. Pecoraro, visit parrishhealthcare.com/pecoraro.
