About

Dr. Bita Naimi is a leading voice in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, with a focused expertise in sleep surgery and cost-effectiveness analysis for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Her most cited work, a 2024 cost analysis study comparing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) lingual tonsillectomy and hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS), represents a pivotal contribution to the field. By rigorously evaluating the economic and clinical trade-offs between these two advanced surgical interventions for CPAP-intolerant patients, Dr. Naimi provides essential guidance for clinicians and policymakers navigating complex treatment decisions. This study, which has already garnered 3 citations shortly after publication, underscores her commitment to evidence-based, value-driven care. Beyond this landmark paper, her research portfolio consistently addresses surgical outcomes, patient selection, and healthcare resource utilization in sleep medicine. Dr. Naimi’s work is distinguished by its practical impact, helping to shape surgical algorithms and improve patient access to effective therapies. For students and researchers, she exemplifies how rigorous health economics can be integrated with clinical innovation to advance the standard of care for sleep-disordered breathing.
