About
Angela Beatriz Lana, MD is an otorhinolaryngologist and sleep-medicine physician connected to Instituto Assaly. She trained in medicine and ENT at UFMG, then completed sleep-focused work in Europe: actigraphy at Hôtel-Dieu de Paris, research at Erasmus University Rotterdam, and a master's at the Universidade do Porto on excessive daytime sleepiness. Her consults are especially relevant when sleep problems may involve the upper airway, such as snoring, suspected apnea, nasal obstruction, or daytime fatigue.
What to Know
Signature approach
Lana approaches sleep from the upper-airway side first: nasal patency, septum, turbinates, tonsils, palate, and sleep-history patterns. Actigraphy and polysomnography can help separate airway-driven sleep disruption from rhythm or behavior-driven sleep complaints. When anatomy is part of the problem, treatment may involve CPAP, oral-appliance coordination, medical management, or surgical referral.
What sets them apart
- ENT base under sleep medicine. That training matters when a patient's snoring, apnea, or fatigue may trace to nasal or upper-airway anatomy.
- European sleep training. Paris actigraphy fellowship, Rotterdam research, and Porto master's work add objective sleep-measurement depth.
- Co-located private practice. Her own ENT-and-sleep clinic appears connected to the same Rua Lima Barros address, which may simplify ENT-side follow-up.
Before You Book
- Care focus: Snoring, suspected sleep apnea, excessive daytime sleepiness, and ENT-rooted sleep complaints. For pulmonology-led sleep care, compare with Luciana Palombini, MD.
- Testing: Expect the evaluation to lead toward actigraphy, polysomnography, or airway-focused assessment when clinically indicated.
- Scheduling: Specific Assaly clinic days should be confirmed before booking; she has parallel affiliations.
- Language: Portuguese is the working clinical language.
