By that I mean, he’s literally the top in the world as a surgeon, and he’s also a very kind person that cares deeply for the well being of his patients. He has saved so many people from their suffering due to sleep disordered breathing. Go see him. He may just change your life too!

About 9 years ago Dr Kasey Li performed surgery to correct my underbite. After 2 rounds of braces and expanders from childhood to college, my underbite had still been a challenge preventing me from being able to bite through things and causing a good amount of jaw pain regularly. I do not feel things could have gone any better. The surgery went well, recovery was easy with minimal pain, and the results have been life changing. I no longer snore, I can bite through everything, and I no longer have jaw pain. He was easy to work with, fast to answer questions, and greatly improved my life.

Dr Li did my EASE+Septoplasty+Turbinate reduction. He is the best surgeon you can possibly get in the country. Dr Li is always reachable & follows up frequently post op to check the progress. The office staff(Juanita & Daisy) are always responsive too & help get all the insurance paperwork processed smoothly.

In brief: EASE is the best thing I've done for my health. If you're thinking about meeting with Dr. Li, you should book a consult. My experience: After learning I had moderate sleep apnea early this year, I struggled with PAP treatment and began researching my options. This led me to Dr. Li, whose professional and friendly staff have made every step of my experience a breeze. In my initial consult with Dr. Li, he agreed that my narrow maxilla made me a candidate for EASE. During the consult he provided an overview of the procedure, discussed realistic expectations, and answered all of the questions I came with. Prior to meeting with him I read as many journal articles and blog posts as I could handle, listened to relevant interviews, and took notes all throughout, and I think this helped. Regarding realistic goal-setting, the surgeon ensured I did not hope for too much from the procedure. I couldn't expect to be cured, but I could expect a reduction in symptom severity and an easier time managing OSA with PAP treatment. A short time later, Dr. Li performed his endoscopically assisted expansion on me on location, and I spent a couple of weeks in the area so that I could learn to adjust the distractor correctly. After leaving, I sent regular status reports and photos, and he was quick to respond with feedback and interest. Don't fall out of touch--this is your opportunity to optimize the outcome of your treatment. Immediately after the procedure, nasal breathing was easier, and this continued to improve throughout the adjustment period. My sense of smell also improved, and I noticed I was less likely to be out of breath during brisk walking or athletic activity. These improvements have persisted in the months since I last tightened the distractor. Lately, I've noticed that I don't have to resort to mouth breathing in the presence of allergens. Most importantly, within a few weeks, it was clear that my sleep was getting better. I no longer woke up multiple times a night with a racing heart and a need to void. In fact, I no longer woke up with a racing heart at all, or a sense that I had just had a nightmare, and over time I stopped waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat, which was often the case before the procedure. I am more energetic and alert throughout the day. Recently, I've been able to lift heavier weights, and for more repetitions: this is very welcome, as I had been maintaining the same low strength levels for many years due to poor recovery. It seems that I respond much better to exercise and am finally gaining muscle mass, and I can only attribute this to improved sleep. So, I feel pretty great. Although I can comfortably use PAP now, I've decided to hold off until my next sleep study, which is soon. I will immediately resume treatment if indicated. By the way, I made relatively small adjustments to the distractor, per the doctor's instructions, and within two months of the last adjustment, my diastema resolved on its own. I'll need orthodontic treatment to optimize my bite, but it feels comfortable as it is. In brief: EASE is the best thing I've done for my health.

I had the EASE procedure and turbinate reduction done with Dr. Kasey Li and my breathing is astronomically better: every breath I take now, it feels like I breathe in at least twice as much air as compared to before undergoing Dr. Li's treatment. My sleep improved a little too. I'll likely need MMA as well to get satisfactory relief from my sleep-disordered breathing. The EASE procedure is novel and improves the nasal airway better than other methods of palatal/maxillary expansion. Prior to doing EASE/TPD expansion, I underwent MSE expansion with Dr. Ting. Despite getting an enormous diastema and making the roof of my mouth bigger, MSE did not improve my nasal breathing at all nor did it improve my sleep. I got far more improvement in my breathing from the first 1mm of expansion with EASE (I got about 6mm of EASE expansion in total); this is because EASE has a better expansion pattern than MSE, especially when it comes to posterior expansion and expanding the higher-up parts of the nasal airway. Other methods, like DOME or SARPE, involve a traumatic LeFort cut and only expand the lower parts of the nasal cavity: more invasive, and less effective. Overall, I'm very happy with my treatment. Dr. Li is one of the most accomplished sleep apnea surgeons in the world and an amazing doctor. Anyone who has a narrow upper palate, poor breathing, or sleep apnea/UARS should consider seeing Dr. Li.

There are not descriptive enough, positive words to say about Dr. Li. Dr. Li is a caring and concerned doctor. He is also a brilliant surgeon. Before surgery, he goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and at ease. Post-surgery he follows up with phone calls to see how I was doing. I have been seeing Dr. Li for 11 years, and his staff (all of them) are incredibly kind and caring. They follow up with phone calls immediately. I feel like family every time I have an office visit.

It is hard for me to find the words that adequately describe the amazing transformation that my son has experienced as a result from the surgery performed by Dr Li.

I've known Dr Li for ten years and multiple surgeries/procedures. He initially performed my Maxillary Mandibular Advancement (MMA). When I brought my 8 year old son with me for a follow up appointment he glanced at him and told me he also has sleep apnea. A month later he removed his T&A's, in the years since Dr Li has given him a septoplasty & turbinate reduction, removed his wisdom teeth and most recently, installed a transpalatal distraction device. In every instance he has been the most professional surgeon you could hope to find. He is kind, always available (via text or office visits even on weekends), gentle, and an artist in his skill set. I would not even consider seeing a different surgeon; he is truly the very best. I've known Dr Li for ten years and multiple surgeries/procedures.

Dr. Li operated on our son's jaw recently. Our whole family flew from Austin, Texas to Palo Alto, CA so that our son could have the surgery by Dr. Li. This was a complex surgery and our family had quite a bit of anxiety about it. What helped was that Dr. Li had come highly recommended from two doctors locally here in Austin. The surgery was a success and our son is sleeping much better at night and is doing real well. Now that the surgery is behind us, in retrospect we realize why Dr. Li is so highly recommended and what made the surgery go so well: Dr. Li is a highly educated professional who is excellent at what he does. He is passionate and caring and his staff are focused and capable. Dr. Li was available 24/7 by phone and came in to the office on the weekend just to see our son. He has gained our family's respect both professionally and as a human being. We will not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends. Dr. Li operated on our son's jaw recently.
