Dr. Daniel Craig Hetrelezis has always been passionate about good sleep and understands the impact of Snoring and Sleep Apnea on his patient’s (and their partner’s) quality of life. Dr Daniel obtained his DDS degree from the University of Melbourne and graduated with honours in his final exams. Dr Daniel’s passion for good sleep has continued to blossom over the following 8 years in clinical practice.
Throughout his career, Dr. Hetrelezis has witnessed the negative effects of CPAP machines and over-the-counter snoring guards. This is now seen first hand with a groundbreaking new report released in August 2023 by Professor Danny Eckert from the University of Adelaide which shows Oral Appliances should be the first line of treatment for Snoring and Sleep Apnea. He firmly believes that a one-size-fits-all approach to sleep treatment can be ineffective and even harmful. This is why he and his team at Sydney & Tasmania Snoring and Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance Centre offer personalised solutions tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
Dr. Hetrelezis’s commitment to his patients extends beyond providing personalised sleep solutions. Dr Hetrelezis works closely with your GP and recognises that good sleep is not just about the appliance but also the overall treatment plan. His collaborative team which (includes sleep physicians) provide comprehensive care, including simple overnight electronic sleep studies, to monitor the effectiveness of his snoring and sleep apnea appliances to ensure the best possible outcome for each patient.
Dr. Hetrelezis’s personal struggles with sleep apnea has fueled his passion for helping others. He has first hand knowledge of the struggles of poor sleep and its impact on every aspect of life. His empathy and understanding of his patients’ struggles make him a sought-after expert in the field of sleep.
At the recently launched Sydney & 3 Tasmanian Snoring and Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance Centres, Dr. Hetrelezis and his team are committed to providing the best possible care for their patients with the aim of expanding across the country. They strive to help each patient achieve the best possible sleep and, in turn, a better quality of life.
