Oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea — Koala Center, West El Paso
Smyleee Rating
Good
Koala Center for Sleep Disorders in El Paso operates from Suite D-2 at 6901 Helen of Troy Drive in West El Paso, providing dental sleep medicine services for patients diagnosed with sleep apnea or other sleep-disordered breathing conditions. Koala Center is a nationally recognized brand of dental sleep medicine clinics, and the El Paso location brings this specialized approach to patients in the region.
Dental sleep medicine is a branch of dentistry that addresses obstructive sleep apnea through the use of oral appliances rather than — or in conjunction with — CPAP therapy. Custom-fitted oral devices worn during sleep reposition the jaw and tongue to maintain an open airway, reducing or eliminating the airway obstruction that causes sleep apnea episodes. For patients who cannot tolerate CPAP or prefer a less intrusive option, oral appliance therapy is an evidence-based alternative.
The Helen of Troy Drive professional complex in West El Paso is shared by multiple dental specialists and medical practitioners, making it a recognized hub for specialty care on the west side of the city. Suite D-2 at 6901 Helen of Troy is accessible from Westside and Mission Hills neighborhoods, and from the broader medical community that refers sleep apnea patients for oral appliance evaluation and treatment.
Patients are typically referred to a dental sleep center after a sleep study has confirmed a sleep apnea diagnosis. The Koala Center team conducts an oral evaluation, takes impressions, and fits a custom device tailored to the individual's anatomy and condition severity. Follow-up appointments monitor device efficacy and make adjustments as needed. The practice coordinates with sleep physicians to ensure that treatment outcomes align with the patient's overall sleep health plan.

All the techs are so good. Friendly. Professional. Russ always is very knowledgeable and makes me confident in his ability.
Dr Kalish and his staff are very welcoming and friendly not to mention Dr Kalish is a highly respected Dr with over 35 years of experience in his profession. From the moment my wife and I entered the office to the moment we left we were made to feel very comfortable and welcomed. Thank you for the best professional care as well as the best customer service we received in your office.
I’ve struggled with poor sleep my entire life—issues like teeth grinding and, as I got older, snoring made it impossible to reach deep, restorative sleep. I was constantly sluggish, relying on coffee and afternoon naps just to function. Over the years, I tried different devices with little success, until the VA referred me to the Koala Center for Sleep & TMJ Disorders. From day one, Dr. Bryan Kalish and his team were incredible. They took the time to understand my situation and fitted me with a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) designed specifically for my needs. The difference was life-changing! My snoring completely stopped, and for the first time ever, I experienced deep, refreshing sleep. The very next morning, I woke up feeling energized and alert—something I honestly didn’t think was possible. To track my progress, I used the SnoreLab app. My snoring score went from “Epic” to zero—meaning I didn’t snore at all! This device has truly transformed my quality of life. If you’re struggling with sleep issues, I HIGHLY recommend visiting the Koala Center for Sleep & TMJ Disorders. Dr. Kalish and his team are outstanding!
Unfortunately my jaw suffered tremendously by trying to wear the herbs appliance they made for my sleep apnea. I only saw the doctor once and never again in a 2 year period. They also failed to bill my insurance correctly and two years later I was informed I owed them money. I am going to see a different doctor to get my new jaw issues resolved. Buyer beware! I don't think the herbs helps sleep problems at all.
I didn’t care to post a review on my initial visit because it was so unprofessional and I had no energy to give to this office. I figured I’d let it go and look for treatment elsewhere. I don’t know when my initial visit was but it was over 2-3 years ago. I JUST NOW received an invoice from their office for $135!! I’ve called dozens of times with no answer or claim that someone will return my call. I’m sure they will send me to collection since I can’t even get through their phone line to dispute the charge. Extremely unprofessional and poor customer service.
The staff and doctor were professional, very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. They asked if I had questions and answered everything throughly. Great experience! I'm glad I found them!
I absolutely love this place! Staff is wonderful and so friendly I highly recommend! The facility is really clean! Dr Kalish and nurse Jenn are awesome and friendly and really take care of you!
