Dr. Smalley has reached an important milestone in her career with her 100th Inspire implant procedure. This accomplishment marks a significant achievement not only for her but also for the patients in the Northwest region who benefit from her expertise.
Dr. Smalley is widely recognized as a leader in innovative sleep apnea treatment. As one of the few surgeons in the region performing Inspire therapy, she offers a life changing alternative to traditional CPAP treatment.

Dr. Smalley is known for her patient centered approach and commitment to delivering safe and effective treatment. Over the course of her career, she has helped transform the lives of patients who suffer from sleep apnea. Her 100th procedure is not just a numerical milestone, it is a reflection of her passion for advancing sleep health and providing her patients with renewed energy and improved overall health.
In the Northwest region, where access to advanced sleep apnea treatments has been limited, AdventHealth Gordon stands out as the only hospital offering Inspire therapy. Dr. Smalley’s dedication has positioned the hospital as a leader in innovative sleep solutions. Her achievement serves as an inspiration to her colleagues and reassures patients that they are receiving care from one of the best specialists in the field.
The milestone highlights the progress that can be made when patients and medical professionals work together. Dr. Smalley continues to refine the procedure and improve patient outcomes. Her leadership in this field is paving the way for new treatment options and a better quality of life for those with sleep apnea.
Dr. Smalley remains committed to her mission of improving sleep health and looks forward to helping many more patients overcome the challenges of sleep apnea. Her 100th Inspire procedure is a celebration of expertise, innovation, and dedication in a field that has the power to change lives.
